Slide VS Twidere-Android

Thank you kind stranger! I opened https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide/issues/3485 with slightly different instructions (shaved off a couple of steps). For example Step 1 can be skipped by doing clone from repo in step 4.

TIL that Slide is also open source: https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide

So long Slide and Infinity, ill see you again in the Fediverse

I didn't actually hear that they were doing API changes? I use Slide, so I guess for me one day in the future Reddit will just stop working.

Slide: intended for everyone, but Its lead developer was immediately open to addressing accessibility concerns, during the beta process, and u/MostlyBlindGamer was able to contribute several fixes for the TalkBack screen reader.

Which would be good open source 3rd party apps to test with? I found a couple of mobile apps, like https://github.com/Docile-Alligator/Infinity-For-Reddit and https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide

FYI, Infinity and Slide are solid reddit apps and both open-source. I still prefer RIF, but in case your wish doesn't come true there are already at least two pretty good options.

I used to use Slide. Switched to Infinity after seeing it promoted on F-Droid. Both are great (with a preference for Infinity) and I will stop using reddit on mobile because I refuse to use their mobile app.

This project will be on indefinite hiatus for the foreseeable future, and may not be maintained. Updates are not guaranteed. See here for details.

It's worth noting that Reddit's own app uses their official API. The whole thing is OAuth2. They could have easily just said "Only Reddit Gold users can use external apps" and have avoided all this fracas.

Now, it would take very little for someone to dig around and find the official Reddit API keys (OpenID/OAuth2 client key/secret) and just impersonate the official Reddit apps. I would never suggest that someone do some googling and discover threads like https://github.com/TwidereProject/Twidere-Android/issues/147... where such things are discussed.

Twidere still works great for me, but you have to apply this change (that's easy to do, don't worry)

Some thirdparty clients for Twitter still work, I'm using Twidere, but you have to trick it a little bit.

An issue has been posted about this.
