      For me, I liked the ability to swipe left and right between subreddits (the order on which you could configure), you could also swipe between posts. It’s also open source and pretty customisable. Unfortunately it’s not been updated in over a year.

        The dev abandoned it cause the code is a bit of a nest, to say the least. Im trying to work on that, cause I really want slide to exist

      I like it because I like the feel of the old Material v1 theme (it seems the most functional to me), and Slide takes it and uses it to its limits.

      I can’t speak for everyone, but I really enjoyed the “get out of your way” style the app has. I also really liked that you had to slide to upvote/downvote on posts instead of having static buttons you can accidentally press. It also had a decent system for switching between multiple accounts. Finally, it’s all open source so one could fork it and customize it if they wanted to.

      The concept of swiping was used everywhere. Makes it quick and easy to use. You could just swipe right to close a thread, or the video/image. No need to use the back button, or reach for the tiny X in the corner.

      And the seamless galley mode was awesome. Very unique (only found it quite similar in Joey).

      I really like it has buttons to jump to previous/next parent comment. It made skimming top comments a breeze.

      I liked that it was available from F-Droid.

      There were a couple of other Reddit clients also available from F-Droid (Dawn, Diode, Infinity, RedReader), but I don’t remember why I picked Slide over those. All I know is that I didn’t spend much time evaluating others and that Slide was “good enough” to not annoy me into wanting to switch.
