just so this doesn’t overwhelm our front page too much, i think now’s a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let’s try to keep what’s happening in this thread instead of across 10.

developments to this point:

The Verge is on it as usual, also–here’s their latest coverage (h/t @dirtmayor@beehaw.org):

    Coming from Joey for Reddit. They pulled a survey today for its users asking 2 questions: if we’d be willing to pay and how much and for some suggestion for the future of the app.

    I said no and suggested them to think about developing an app for Lemmy.

    Joey is great. Looks like it lacks tools for modding, but I couldn’t care less. It has everything else, is beautiful and customizable.

    Such a shame to see it sinking because of Reddit’s bullshit.

    I really hope we go forward with this migration.

      So this is where you fellow Joey users have been hiding in. I swear out of all the TPA and API subs/posts it always seemed like I was the only Joey user.

      About the survey, I did say I was willing to go $4/mo max. I wanted to support the dev as it has been my go-to app for years.

        I understand supporting devs, I bought RIF years ago, but personally I couldn’t imagine paying a monthly fee just to use reddit, regardless of who gets the money.

      I’m another Joey user, and I said I would be willing to pay around $3/month, and yes, I’d love to see a Joey for Lemmy. I spend hours every day on Joey (or I did,) so it seems only fair to support that.

      Seeing the increased activity since I signed up has been cool to see. While places like this may never get as big as reddit the userbase is starting to grow enough where I would definitely love third party apps and Reddit Enhancement suite equivalents to pop up.

      Also coming from Joey. I miss the swipe gestures and many of the other features but hopefully that’ll be coming soon. More voices should hopefully mean more interested parties and supporters.
