Oh I had no idea! I just assumed it was closed source because I had to pay to get the Pro version. Still an app worth paying for though
If you downloaded Slide off of the google playstore, the premium version was paid as a way to help support the dev. If you downloaded it off of F-Droid, or directly from Github, the premium features were free.
YES! thank youu. That was my app for redditing. So glad the transition will be minimal with this
Awesome! I was a long time Slide user before development stopped and I switched to Infinity
When Slide died slowly I eventually switched to Joey, which is very close to Slide regarding usability. One thing Joey did better was zoomable videos. How cool is that!?
I really hope for a comeback of Slide as an Lemmy app!
Same. Slide was sooo good that I was sad to see it abandoned. Joey comes really close and I'd like to see that developer give Lemmy a shot.
Yes please, I just uninstalled slide last week. While some things would bug out ocassionally, I couldn't imagine using any other app with reddit.
I'm on Jerboa now and its just not the same.
Slide was my favorite Reddit client. I'm glad it's being resurrected to serve a greater purpose!
Oh HELLS yes, this was the superior reddit app
That would be awesome. Do you have any Git links to track progress? Thanks!
Yes please! even though jebora is nice. i would still prefere to swipe through the fediverse and customize the experience again
was a bit apprehensive about sharing it, its really hard to describe how much of a challenge this codebase is. I'm constantly juggling refactoring for maintainability against just "getting something that works", but if you're interested, there you go
OMFG! I love yoo!
I was still on slide until I decided to abandon reddit altogether. I can volunter myself to test.

Joining, thanks mate :)
Nice
Slide is all I've used for so long I can't even remember different! I don't go on Reddit anymore, but I've been hesitant to actually uninstall Slide. Love to be able to use it here!
I would give you a hand job on top of whatever the app costs. Slide was the best reddit app until it got abandoned. Slide for lemmy? I just jizzed my pants at the idea
can't wait to test it out.
Thank you so much! I tried several Reddit apps over the years and Slide was by far my favorite. I used it up until the blackout when I left Reddit for Lemmy.
When and where can we get this?
Wow no way... Slide has always been my favorite 3rd party app, and I always felt like the only one using it when I'd mention it on reddit. What an awesome surprise!
I stopped using it because apparently it had been abandoned by the dev, and switched to Infinity because it's extremely similar, but I loved Slide too. Will definitely use this.

I've used Slide too. It was super intuitive and I've never had any issues with it at all!
Hands down the most/best customization. If anyone complains about the UI, it just means they didn't tweak it enough!
Slide user to this day here. Love the customizability!
You son of a bitch I'm in.
You had me at Slide.
Yes! This was my favorite app.
ohmygodohmygodohmygod
Looks good.
I mean... What are the chances?! Unbelievable :D thank you, one tester eagerly awaiting :)

Slide along with Infinity are my fav apps for reddit
Oh man I loved slide a lot. This is terrific.
Slide had been my favourite Reddit app.
Will you consider making Slide for Kbin? There seems to be numerous Lemmy clients being developed, but lacking for Kbin.
I will! So far, the reason for that is thst Kbin doesnt expose any kind of API, so any app has to scrape the site, but I would definitely aim for dual compatibility eventually, especially once an API exists
I'll wait for a FOSS app. Redreader supposedly will support Lemmy in the future.
Slide was THE FOSS Reddit app WDYM
I believe Slide was FOSS, so i imagine this will be too.
I never used slide. What do people like about it?
For me, I liked the ability to swipe left and right between subreddits (the order on which you could configure), you could also swipe between posts. It's also open source and pretty customisable. Unfortunately it's not been updated in over a year.
I can't speak for everyone, but I really enjoyed the "get out of your way" style the app has. I also really liked that you had to slide to upvote/downvote on posts instead of having static buttons you can accidentally press. It also had a decent system for switching between multiple accounts. Finally, it's all open source so one could fork it and customize it if they wanted to.
iOS?
Nope
Fk yeaaaaahhhhhh! I can't believe it, we are getting slide and lemmur. Hope someone builds infinity for lemmy
I miss Infinity. It was such an elegant app.
True, I was using it for 5/6 months, but before that I used Apollo for years.
To be honest I feel good about Lemmy, It just needs time to popolate.
If it is open source, then I'll test it for sure.
It is, or at least should be. The original source is here.
Same. It was the best Reddit app IMO.
I kept using it, until last week ^^"
Same, I emailed the Devs yesterday suggesting a Lemmy port. Guess they already had the memo and worked on it.
I don't think it is, although that's kind of the trade off with premium client apps
Where is all of this coming from??? Guys, Slide is FOSS, it's under the GNUv3 license lmao

GitHub page says it's open-source.,
this version we don't know yet.Can confirm, it'll be foss, though the code is kinda horrifying :D
oh really? yeah lets do this! I still have Slide installed on my phone, excited for Lemmy version
Heyyy, I made it to the screenshot!
