‘Nothing is changing’ — Reddit is denying a report from The Washington Post that it might force users to log in to see content if it can’t reach deals with AI companies::Reddit initially denied a report from The Washington Post that it might force users to log in to see content. However, the Post says it may still block search crawlers, and Reddit didn’t deny to The Verge that it may do so.

I went with Narwhal for a while too. I've been using Lemmy on browser but still ended up on Reddit on mobile because I don't know if Lemmy has any apps. One day I opened up Narwhal with a message about some date it'd end up being paid and I immediately uninstalled. Reddit isn't at all worth paying for as a user. There's literally nothing I've regretted about not going on Reddit; Lemmy still has plenty of pages of content to mindlessly scroll through.

Heaps of reddit app ports are on Lemmy. Not sure about iOS, but on Android there is sync and boost which we're two of the bigger ones.

If Relay came to Lemmy I would happily pay $ to access.

For iOS: I fully recommend Thunder or Memmy. Very complete (I’m not a mod so perhaps lacking there?).

For Android: Sync is just so perfect. Feels like Reddit before it was overtaken with low-effort Facebook exiles. Boost is great as well. I know there are tons of apps for Android in particular but both of those just feel right at home for me.

Sync has been my alternative coming from RiF. Very clean experience

Voyager for Lemmy is essentially Apollo

Lemmy has a bunch of good apps.

I really like the customizability on Jerboa for Lemmy on Android. Smaller font with list view gives me strong old school Alien Blue vibes.

Edit: Here's my frontpage on Jerboa.

I’ve been using Liftoff! app, it’s pretty good with a few bugs
