(yes, i know there are a lot of things wrong with this screenshot)
If it is open source, then I'll test it for sure.

Same. It was the best Reddit app IMO.
I kept using it, until last week ^^"
Same, I emailed the Devs yesterday suggesting a Lemmy port. Guess they already had the memo and worked on it.

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.
Awesome! I was a long time Slide user before development stopped and I switched to Infinity

oh really? yeah lets do this! I still have Slide installed on my phone, excited for Lemmy version
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.
Slide along with Infinity are my fav apps for reddit
YES! thank youu. That was my app for redditing. So glad the transition will be minimal with this
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!

When Slide died slowly I eventually switched to Joey, which ie 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.
Heyyy, I made it to the screenshot!
Looking forward to see what happens. Slide was my daily driver for many a year.
You son of a bitch I'm in.
Slide was my favorite Reddit client. I'm glad it's being resurrected to serve a greater purpose!
❤️
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
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?
You had me at Slide.
Oh HELLS yes, this was the superior reddit app
Yes! This was my favorite app.
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!
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.
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
Fk yeaaaaahhhhhh! I can't believe it, we are getting slide and lemmur. Hope someone builds infinity for lemmy
I miss Infinity. It was such an elegant app.
True, I was using it for 5/6 months, but before that I used Apollo for years.
To be honest I feel good about Lemmy, It just needs time to popolate.
I'm so excited to see my reddit app ported! Take my money!!
Oh man I loved slide a lot. This is terrific.
