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
I was using Joey, which died last night - Always said I would leave as soon as my apps i liked didnt work so I made one last post calling spez a cunt then deleted, here i am!
Former joey user I left reddit as soon as the API changes where public, I wanted to dev to pivot joey for Lemmy among other that said the same on the subreddit but never got any response. rip.
I was so stoked that thinking that maybe Joey wouldn't go down, it's been my most used phone app for years. Trying to force myself to love lemmy, just wish there was an app that allows swiping from one post to the next
Connect for Lemmy has you covered. If you're on Android.

Else, you can try WefWef.app which also worked really well as a web app. It has gesture support.
RIP Joey,
Downloaded it back in 2017, promptly forgot my password, and now the only I'd access my account is gone, I guess this is a goodbye to Reddit and a hello to Lemmy.
Is there any way to get something resembling Joey in Lemmy? Best-rated app in Play Store is Connect, and, well, I miss Joey. 😩
I used Joey for few years. I expected that it will end after API changes, but it's still sad. I wonder what another project will be about, I signed to newsletter. I guess, it's time to move to Lemmy more than I did
Wow, reddit reaching new levels of suck right here.
Narwhal on IOS is still going I just keep it to see how long it lasts zero chance I get the official app.
This is why I'm here RIP Joey.
How hard it is to replace the backend while keeping the experience the same?
Depends on how the code was written, it can vary between "a few days of work" and "it's easier to write a new one"
Realised this when I tried to use the app today morning. Sad! Wish they would make a lemmy app.
