(yes, i know there are a lot of things wrong with this screenshot)
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
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.
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
It’s copyleft, not permissive, so we do know it’ll continue to be Free Software.
oh really? yeah lets do this! I still have Slide installed on my phone, excited for Lemmy version
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.
Oh HELLS yes, this was the superior reddit app

When Slide died slowly I eventually switched to Joey, which ie 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.
YES! thank youu. That was my app for redditing. So glad the transition will be minimal with this
You son of a bitch I’m in.
ohmygodohmygodohmygod
Awesome! I was a long time Slide user before development stopped and I switched to Infinity
Slide was my favorite Reddit app! This is awesome.

Heyyy, I made it to the screenshot!
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.
The dev abandoned it cause the code is a bit of a nest, to say the least. Im trying to work on that, cause I really want slide to exist
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.
The concept of swiping was used everywhere. Makes it quick and easy to use. You could just swipe right to close a thread, or the video/image. No need to use the back button, or reach for the tiny X in the corner.
And the seamless galley mode was awesome. Very unique (only found it quite similar in Joey).
Yayyyyyyy! I am definitely paying for this when it comes out
