(yes, i know there are a lot of things wrong with this screenshot)
OMFG! I love yoo!
I was still on slide until I decided to abandon reddit altogether. I can volunter myself to test.
That’s a great idea, thanks!
@theory@feddit.uk, I’ll be happy to help with testing too.

Joining, thanks mate :)
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
Awesome! I was a long time Slide user before development stopped and I switched to Infinity
YES! thank youu. That was my app for redditing. So glad the transition will be minimal with this
Slide was my favorite Reddit client. I’m glad it’s being resurrected to serve a greater purpose!
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.
Thanks for the correction.
You son of a bitch I’m in.
can’t wait to test it out.
Slide along with Infinity are my fav apps for reddit
Wonderful news. Thank you very much in advance!
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!
I’ve used Slide too. It was super intuitive and I’ve never had any issues with it at all!
Hands down the most/best customization. If anyone complains about the UI, it just means they didn’t tweak it enough!
Slide user to this day here. Love the customizability!
I mean… What are the chances?! Unbelievable :D thank you, one tester eagerly awaiting :)

Thanks for pointing it out! Was not aware.
That would be awesome. Do you have any Git links to track progress? Thanks!
was a bit apprehensive about sharing it, its really hard to describe how much of a challenge this codebase is. I’m constantly juggling refactoring for maintainability against just “getting something that works”, but if you’re interested, there you go
Yes please! even though jebora is nice. i would still prefere to swipe through the fediverse and customize the experience again
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!
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.
Fk yeaaaaahhhhhh! I can’t believe it, we are getting slide and lemmur. Hope someone builds infinity for lemmy
I miss Infinity. It was such an elegant app.
