(yes, i know there are a lot of things wrong with this screenshot)
Awesome! I was a long time Slide user before development stopped and I switched to Infinity
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!
Same. Slide was sooo good that I was sad to see it abandoned. Joey comes really close and I’d like to see that developer give Lemmy a shot.
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!
I’ve used Slide too. It was super intuitive and I’ve never had any issues with it at all!
Hands down the most/best customization. If anyone complains about the UI, it just means they didn’t tweak it enough!
Slide user to this day here. Love the customizability!
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.
YES! thank youu. That was my app for redditing. So glad the transition will be minimal with this

You had me at Slide.
I mean… What are the chances?! Unbelievable :D thank you, one tester eagerly awaiting :)
If you arent aware, there is a community at !slide@feddit.uk
Thanks for pointing it out! Was not aware.
Slide was my favorite Reddit client. I’m glad it’s being resurrected to serve a greater purpose!
You son of a bitch I’m in.
can’t wait to test it out.
If it is open source, then I’ll test it for sure.
It is, or at least should be. The original source is here.
Same. It was the best Reddit app IMO.
I kept using it, until last week ^^"
I don’t think it is, although that’s kind of the trade off with premium client apps
Where is all of this coming from??? Guys, Slide is FOSS, it’s under the GNUv3 license lmao
Oh I had no idea! I just assumed it was closed source because I had to pay to get the Pro version. Still an app worth paying for though
If you downloaded Slide off of the google playstore, the premium version was paid as a way to help support the dev. If you downloaded it off of F-Droid, or directly from Github, the premium features were free.
GitHub page says it’s open-source., this version we don’t know yet.
It’s copyleft, not permissive, so we do know it’ll continue to be Free Software.
Thanks for the correction.
Can confirm, it’ll be foss, though the code is kinda horrifying :D
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?
Ohh yes!! Here we go. Slide was the App that started my Reddit Addiction. Best interface imo. Used it till a few weeks ago.
That would be awesome. Do you have any Git links to track progress? Thanks!
was a bit apprehensive about sharing it, its really hard to describe how much of a challenge this codebase is. I’m constantly juggling refactoring for maintainability against just “getting something that works”, but if you’re interested, there you go
