To anyone that misses Reddit Slide; I may have a present for you soon
(yes, i know there are a lot of things wrong with this screenshot)
M_Reimer, If it is open source, then I'll test it for sure.
Shiroa, It is, or at least should be. The original source is here.
SubArcticTundra, 
I don't think it is, although that's kind of the trade off with premium client apps
pfaca, GitHub page says it's open-source.,
this version we don't know yet.
grue, It's copyleft, not permissive, so we do know it'll continue to be Free Software.
pfaca, Thanks for the correction.
theory, 
Can confirm, it'll be foss, though the code is kinda horrifying :D
pfaca, Nice to know. Thanks for your work btw.
Shiroa, Where is all of this coming from??? Guys, Slide is FOSS, it's under the GNUv3 license lmao
SubArcticTundra, (edited ) 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
Shiroa, 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.
eruchitanda, 
Same. It was the best Reddit app IMO.
I kept using it, until last week ^^"
BluSpoon, Same, I emailed the Devs yesterday suggesting a Lemmy port. Guess they already had the memo and worked on it.
theory, If you arent aware, there is a community at !slide
Vulnicura, Slide was my favorite Reddit app! This is awesome.
databender, 
Oh HELLS yes, this was the superior reddit app
danielton, Heyyy, I made it to the screenshot!
65gmexl3, 
oh really? yeah lets do this! I still have Slide installed on my phone, excited for Lemmy version
Fishshake, Great! I'm currently using Jerboa, and it works, but something a little smoother would be nice.
couragethebravedog, You son of a bitch I'm in.
humdrumgentleman, 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.
GONADS125, 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!
house_of_questions, I've used Slide too. It was super intuitive and I've never had any issues with it at all!
GONADS125, Hands down the most/best customization. If anyone complains about the UI, it just means they didn't tweak it enough!
emberwit, Slide user to this day here. Love the customizability!
SolarNialamide, I stopped using it because apparently it had been abandoned by the dev, and switched to Infinity because it's extremely similar, but I loved Slide too. Will definitely use this.
theory, If you arent aware, there is a community at !slide
NightOwl, Slide is the very first Android app that pulled me away from Reddit is Fun until Slide got abandoned. To see it resurrected for use on Lemmy would be a dream. I loved Slide interface. Was the app I preferred over Apollo too on Apple aside from the performance issues it didn't get sorted out before being abandoned, which led me back to Apollo.
Routhinator, Yes! This was my favorite app.
chamim, 
Wow, that was fast. I love that there's a lot of interest in creating apps for the fediverse.
noodlejetski, ohmygodohmygodohmygod
Yoz, Fk yeaaaaahhhhhh! I can't believe it, we are getting slide and lemmur. Hope someone builds infinity for lemmy
owatnext, 
I miss Infinity. It was such an elegant app.
Sterben, True, I was using it for 5/6 months, but before that I used Apollo for years.
To be honest I feel good about Lemmy, It just needs time to popolate.
wasabi, Awesome! I was a long time Slide user before development stopped and I switched to Infinity
WildfireFailure, I went to boost instead was close enough for me
