It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him
Ah yes another prime example of them working with those who were willing to work with them. That’s what they said, right?
what, are you calling them a liar? speddit would never lie!
Fuck u/spez
mlmym.org acts like oldreddit, someone linked it further down in the comments, and it’s changed my world.
Dude this is kinda life changing. So is this a separate lemmy instance? Or what exactly is this?
Looks like it’s just a passthrough website that formats the lemmy content.
Wow, that’s incredible. I’ve been using a tampermonkey script to sort of emulate the feel of old.reddit, but this is essentially one-to-one. Thanks.
I deleted all 3 of my accounts after joey went offline. It was my all time favorite reddit app. I hope that there’s a mass exodus going on at reddit while the apps shut down.
Seems like you can’t trust a guy who edits user comments behind the scenes and lies about being extorted.
How fucking shitty. It just proves that everything spez said about negotiating with developers in good faith was bullshit.
You’re right but the leaked conversations between Reddit and RIF pretty much confirmed that for us months ago. Spez had zero intention of allowing 3rd party apps to exist. Next on the chopping block, old.reddit.com
That goes to show it was never about gettimg paid to use the AI, it was just to shut down all 3rd party apps. Even those who wnated to cooperate
Unfortunate but predictable. Reddit and u/spez have decided that third-party apps are going to die, and nothing is going to stop them. The “talks” they were offering to interested devs were always just a show, as this clearly demonstrates.
My prediction: Reddit is moving toward a YouTube-esque format.
They are going to monetize by allowing creators to make money from their content. This is why they’re getting rid of awards. Of course, they’ll take a cut which is probably why they’re going toward this model.
They have also been moving toward more detailed, identifiable profiles as well.
They’re trying to make the new social media.

This will just turn the site into a massive shill fest full of people pandering and not to mention huge scale botting. AIs will be churning shite out.
Real quality will go elsewhere.

Ummm…
Very sad to see this. … and why I am right here right now.
I’m here because Joey was shut down, I refuse to get the reddit app.
See, here’s why you don’t talk to Reddit about their paid API access. They’ll just fuck you over regardless.
RiF migrant here. Howdy, y’all! Pull up a chair.
That’s why I’m here. Fuck Reddit.
Fuck u/spez!
I tried all the reddit apps I got aware of and Joey was just miles ahead of the pack.
There have been so many customization settings, custom themes, well-impoemented navigation features like skipping posts/comments with the volume keys of the phone etc.
I’m currently using 8 apps for Lemmy and none of them seems even close (yes, I know these are mostly alpha releases).
I really hope the joey dev creates a Lemmy client.
It’s wild that to me that the app dev made money from essentially being a web scrapper. No one should be makingoney off us posting memes lol 😂
You have no idea about amount of work involved, have you?
He made money from people liking provided fun and easy access to reddit, additional functionality and customization options.
I was so stoked that thinking that maybe Joey wouldn’t go down, it’s been my most used phone app for years. Trying to force myself to love lemmy, just wish there was an app that allows swiping from one post to the next
If your on Android the connect for Lemmy app allows this. Though it is in experimental mode right now but it works well for me
How do you do it? I go into the post and show my finger from right to left and it doesn’t go to the next post. If I do it on a comment that action just likes it, doesn’t go to the next post
You have to turn on horizontal swipe for next post in settings first. Then after that just view a post and swipe from right to left on the topic and it should go to the next post
Connect for Lemmy has you covered. If you’re on Android.

Else, you can try WefWef.app which also worked really well as a web app. It has gesture support.
This was the moment I moved to Lemmy. I was hemming and hawing but after Joey I was done. Would love to see a Joey for Lemmy someday.
