Another sign Reddit was never interested in having third party apps at all. They want all mobile traffic through their own app.

Ah yes another prime example of them working with those who were willing to work with them. That's what they said, right?

Unfortunate but predictable. Reddit and u/spez have decided that third-party apps are going to die, and nothing is going to stop them. The "talks" they were offering to interested devs were always just a show, as this clearly demonstrates.

How fucking shitty. It just proves that everything spez said about negotiating with developers in good faith was bullshit.

So sad. I'm here because of that. Hopefully this community grows fast.

This was the moment I moved to Lemmy. I was hemming and hawing but after Joey I was done. Would love to see a Joey for Lemmy someday.

it's sad Joey was a great app.

Joey was my go to reddit app, and I'm really sad to read about the developer stressing out. They seemed pretty cool, so it sucks that reddit is doing this to them.

I was so stoked that thinking that maybe Joey wouldn't go down, it's been my most used phone app for years. Trying to force myself to love lemmy, just wish there was an app that allows swiping from one post to the next

Meh. Very little sympathy for people betting their livelihood on proprietary technologies.
