If it is open source, then I'll test it for sure.

[–] Shiroa@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

It is, or at least should be. The original source is here.

[–] eruchitanda@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same. It was the best Reddit app IMO.

I kept using it, until last week ^^"

[–] BluSpoon@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Same, I emailed the Devs yesterday suggesting a Lemmy port. Guess they already had the memo and worked on it.

Oh HELLS yes, this was the superior reddit app

[–] danielton@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Heyyy, I made it to the screenshot!

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yes please, I just uninstalled slide last week. While some things would bug out ocassionally, I couldn't imagine using any other app with reddit. I'm on Jerboa now and its just not the same.

[–] humdrumgentleman@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Yoz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Fk yeaaaaahhhhhh! I can't believe it, we are getting slide and lemmur. Hope someone builds infinity for lemmy

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@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've used Slide too. It was super intuitive and I've never had any issues with it at all!

[–] GONADS125@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hands down the most/best customization. If anyone complains about the UI, it just means they didn't tweak it enough!

[–] emberwit@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Slide user to this day here. Love the customizability!

Slide along with Infinity are my fav apps for reddit

[–] Routhinator@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Yes! This was my favorite app.

[–] TheCraiggers@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

You had me at Slide.

[–] Slyder@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you so much! I tried several Reddit apps over the years and Slide was by far my favorite. I used it up until the blackout when I left Reddit for Lemmy.

When and where can we get this?

[–] SandboxScience@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That would be awesome. Do you have any Git links to track progress? Thanks!

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!

YES! thank youu. That was my app for redditing. So glad the transition will be minimal with this

[–] hummingbird@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yayyyyyyy! I am definitely paying for this when it comes out

[–] Finkler@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Looking forward to see what happens. Slide was my daily driver for many a year.

[–] citizen67@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

So glad to see former reddit third party developers and apps rising to the occasion! I sincerely hope that the Infinity devs and other FOSS initiatives are coming onboard too.

[–] couragethebravedog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You son of a bitch I'm in.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
[–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Looks good.

[–] aaa@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago

Awesome! I tried various 3rd party reddit apps over the years and stuck with slide the longest. Always liked its simplicity, ux design and focus on pictures. I'm an iOS user though, anything planned for that? (I'm on Mlem beta meanwhile.)

[–] syboxez@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Slide was my favorite Reddit client. I'm glad it's being resurrected to serve a greater purpose!

[–] ShellSurf@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Slide is all I've used for so long I can't even remember different! I don't go on Reddit anymore, but I've been hesitant to actually uninstall Slide. Love to be able to use it here!

[–] BloodyFable@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

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.
