    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.

    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.

      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).
