Slide VS ruqqus

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.

I just checked and Ruqqus is licensed under LGPL, the way I understand it is you can use LGPL software as-is alongisde other software without open sourcing the other software, however if you make changes to the LGPL software then you need to open source those changes... Scored might very well be a modified version of the Ruqqus codebase, which in that case means it's violating the LGPL license.

The website claims to be open source, because it has to be as it’s using Ruqqus’ source code. However they try to hide all references to this and even fail to stay under the source code’s LGPL 2.1 license which states the source code must remain open.

you can visit https://github.com/ruqqus/ruqqus and with a bit of time and money you can spin up your own

i don't need censorship because i know that my beliefs are correct. the reason bigots get deplatformed is because there is simply no good reason to have them around. they poison any community they infiltrate. even ruqqus a reddit alternative advertised as censorship-free realized that there is no good to platforming bigots even if you call yourself a free speech platform.

Honestly nothing has the amount or diversity of content you find here. https://ruqqus.com had potential I thought but it seems to be dead
