Coming from Joey for Reddit. They pulled a survey today for its users asking 2 questions: if we'd be willing to pay and how much and for some suggestion for the future of the app.

I said no and suggested them to think about developing an app for Lemmy.

Joey is great. Looks like it lacks tools for modding, but I couldn't care less. It has everything else, is beautiful and customizable.

Such a shame to see it sinking because of Reddit's bullshit.

I really hope we go forward with this migration.

Seeing the increased activity since I signed up has been cool to see. While places like this may never get as big as reddit the userbase is starting to grow enough where I would definitely love third party apps and Reddit Enhancement suite equivalents to pop up.

So this is where you fellow Joey users have been hiding in. I swear out of all the TPA and API subs/posts it always seemed like I was the only Joey user.

About the survey, I did say I was willing to go $4/mo max. I wanted to support the dev as it has been my go-to app for years.

I understand supporting devs, I bought RIF years ago, but personally I couldn't imagine paying a monthly fee just to use reddit, regardless of who gets the money.

Also coming from Joey. I miss the swipe gestures and many of the other features but hopefully that'll be coming soon. More voices should hopefully mean more interested parties and supporters.

I'm another Joey user, and I said I would be willing to pay around $3/month, and yes, I'd love to see a Joey for Lemmy. I spend hours every day on Joey (or I did,) so it seems only fair to support that.
