It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him

      It was objectively the best reddit app. So many people missed out. Was a great ride. Here’s hoping he develops a similar app for this platform.

          I don’t know if this made it the best app, but joey had this arrow up button on every comment. It will collapse all previous sibling comment so you can easily see the parent comments and find the context.

          For example when you tap the up arrow on comment G this is what happens:

          • A collapsed
          • B
            • C collapsed
            • D
              • E collapsed
              • F collapsed
              • G

          As you can see it preserve the comment chain and quickly remind you of the context. This is extremely useful on a busy thread. I haven’t seen this feature on any other reddit apps. I wish lemmy apps could adopt this feature

            Seems like the newest version of the Connect for Lemmy app has a version of this feature. If you tap a comment, an option comes up that says “< Parent”. Tapping it will automatically scroll you up to the very top parent comment. For example, doing that on my comment here would scroll you up to Saneless’s comment above that started this whole conversation.

              I just knew this, that’s very useful! But sometimes I just want to go up a few comment chain, not to the very top

          It has insane customization.

          The dev was very receptive to feature requests.

          I can recall one such feature. Some use wanted to way in which he can change all occurres “fuck” in his feed to “duck”. Dev worked on it and made the feature available in just a few days. Off course it wasn’t limited to just these words. Any used could set “word swap” for any words that they wished

        I hope they notice the popularity of this post and take it as a sign to make joey for Lemmy!
