If it is open source, then I'll test it for sure.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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 ^^"

Slide was my favorite Reddit app! This is awesome.

Lovely. Slide was (is?) my Reddit app of choice. As an open source app, Slide and Lemmy would go together like peanut butter and jelly.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Awesome! I was a long time Slide user before development stopped and I switched to Infinity

You son of a bitch I'm in.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Oh HELLS yes, this was the superior reddit app

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Heyyy, I made it to the screenshot!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

YES! thank youu. That was my app for redditing. So glad the transition will be minimal with this

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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!

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fk yeaaaaahhhhhh! I can't believe it, we are getting slide and lemmur. Hope someone builds infinity for lemmy

oh really? yeah lets do this! I still have Slide installed on my phone, excited for Lemmy version

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Slide along with Infinity are my fav apps for reddit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes! This was my favorite app.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Awesome! I tried various 3rd party reddit apps over the years and stuck with slide the longest. Always liked its simplicity, ux design and focus on pictures. I'm an iOS user though, anything planned for that? (I'm on Mlem beta meanwhile.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh man I loved slide a lot. This is terrific.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Looking forward to see what happens. Slide was my daily driver for many a year.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You had me at Slide.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Duuuuude that would be amazing! Loving all the lemmy apps coming out!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

SLIDE WAS THE BEST! It ran under the radar and the dev was MIA for a long time so I had to switch to Infinity but it was the best app I used for Reddit, soooo pumped to see Slimmey

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would be awesome. Do you have any Git links to track progress? Thanks!

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

Nice. Now if only the Joey for Reddit dev decides to do the same :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looks good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Never used Slide myself, but I'm happy to see app ecosystem starting to grow aroung Lemmy! Way to go!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yayyyyyyy! I am definitely paying for this when it comes out
