    Their site always worked better with other peoples’ code.

    I wonder what would have happened if they just hired those people instead of trying to accuse them of blackmail?

      For real. The 3rd party purge in 23 is what got me to explore Lemmy, and I’m still here today. Reddit UI is unusable

        What’s wild is the Reddit app was based on an older app, Alien Blue. Or so I’ve heard, I never used Alien Blue. It was supposed to be the best Reddit app, but it was only on iOS.

        Then Apollo was the best Reddit app, and it, too, was only on iOS. However, after the purge, the author posted the source code, and, I’m not a programmer, but Voyager looks and acts just like Apollo — and it’s on Android as well. (I use Mlem on iOS, but I use Voyager on Android.)
