Damn. They’re just trying to wreck shit

Did they ban a sub related to it, or more of the same bullshit by reckoning removing mods?

Yup. It just isn’t in the play store. Github only, afaik.

Here’s a page with at least a majority, if not all, apps currently available https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/

and here’s slide in specific

Misty.

Damn that girl was big.

But, damn could that girl fuck!

Well, I’ve tried all of them that I’ve run across.

Aside from jerboa, liftoff, connect, and thunder are the furthest along. They’re all great in their own way.

Summit, slide, and lemmedit, or whatever the abandoned one on the play store is, are all quasi functional. Summit can’t log in that I could find.

Slide is working overall, and the double columns in portrait orientation is awesome to have back. The tabbed interface only lets you switch between all/local/subscribed rather than through your subscribed C/s, but it should get there eventually.

Jerboa is pretty much the most functional overall. Anything you can do via web, you can do in app. And, you can usually do it from your feed rather than having to tap through. Subscribing is the exception there.

All of them can be a bit pissy with links sporadically. You may or may not get taken where you think you will, no matter how the link is formatted.

I think it’s connect that does the “everything” feed, which is cool as hell. Great feature that nothing else has as of yet. But, connect isn’t open source currently. Which, on a system like lemmy, that’s going to be a hard sell long term, though I believe the dev said they were going to open eventually.

The first app to figure out multi subscription function is going to end up the default though. Everybody wants to organize their communities into sorted feeds like multireddits.

I’m eager to see what sync and boost bring to the table, since they’re waiting to release until they’re beyond alpha, from what I’ve heard. Two extremely experienced devs with a long history of excellent UI, aesthetics, and functionality. There’s no telling what they’ll be able to add on top of the lemmy API basics.

Overall, I end up using jerboa the most because I use the all feed for discovery a lot, and it’s easier to subscribe and block from jerboa with minimum tap throughs. The feed also works well with the header above links/images, and good division between posts

But I like liftoff the most overall. It flows the best for me until slide and its multiple column display is backed up with more of the basic features as well. I mostly accessed reddit from tablets, and it’s the same with lemmy. Being able to make use of the screen real estate better is a killer feature for me.

Sweet :)

Oh yeah, while I won’t do subscriptions as a matter of principal, if mr Dawson wants to issue a new version every time there’s a significant code rework, I’d pay every time with a smile on my face. I do it with paprika (the best recipe manager out there) on all the platforms. I’m kinda expecting a new version in the next year or two from them, tbh.

I much prefer that model of monetization. Buy the software, you own it and can use it as long as there’s hardware and OS that can run it. Want the next version? It’s just like buying a different program. It worked very well for decades. Shit, I could (if there were a point beyond having fun) crank things up and run word 98, I still have the discs lol.

And I still use the old paprika on my oldest tablet, as well as the newer version on newer devices. Which, it’s cool as hell my old nook is still running.

I’d do the same with sync. I want to buy it again. Sync for lemmy is not the same software, even if it’s heavily based in the old code. I want developers to be able to make a damn living so that we can have great apps. I just hate software as a service in principle. Like, the fancy extras that Apollo and sync did with premium is a different thing entirely! I’m talking about paying every month just to use an app when I object to subscriptions

Hell, Mr Dawson could charge way more than the pro version of sync was, and I’ll pony up for damn sure. I dunno if anyone here ever had reason to talk to him on reddit, but he’s such a good dude. Devs like that are bloody rare, and need to be cherished.

My t480 came in right at that price, and is doing very well for word processing and media consumption.

But Linux is almost always going to do well on low end stuff compared to Windows.
