Today marks my first day on lemmy after leaving Reddit after 3 years, I already like the platform I just wish their was a mobile app, and wish the mobile web support was a bit more polished but i understand it’s still in it’s earlier stages

    It’ll likely depend on the ratio of the users that go to the old style compared to the cost of maintenance.

      Why is why I mentioned alien blue and i.reddit.com. They’re both really old at this point and I doubt a lot of people use them, but they can at least still access the site. To their creddit (ba dum tss), Reddit does seem to have a lot of backwards compatibility. I have also never heard of an old third party Reddit client suddenly breaking because Reddit changed their API, like is a problem with YouTube for example.

        Yeah, I use Slide and it works pretty well. I do agree that Reddit actually has a pretty decent API that’s stayed stable over the years.
