    The vibrant ecosystem of third party apps is what made Reddit, from what I’ve heard even the official app is a reskin of what used to be a third party apps. Pushing that ecosystem to Lemmy (I have 7 actively developing Lemmy apps installed on my phone) could spell eventual death for Reddit, and was a very unwise long term decision.

      Don’t forget the current lockdown and eventual (this is an assumption) removal of NSFW content. Porn is not IPO friendly, but one should never underestimate the amount of regular traffic it can produce. When traffic metrics are collected, they rarely filter out NSFW. There’s already lemmynsfw.com, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

        I’m not the OP, but out of Jerboa, Connect, and LiftOff I like LiftOff the most so far. Jerboa would be higher up if it worked more.

        Connect for Lemmy. Thunder and Wefwef have better swiping features but Connect has swiping features, saved posts, and slightly better sorting, so right now it’s my favorite app in terms of balancing what features it’s implemented.
