I usually don’t get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I’m on their side.

They probably have a blanket ban on promoting competing Reddit clients, and didn’t bother to figure out what Lemmy was.

Exactly. There’s a note that says “Self-promo – Lemmy” right in the posted screen cap.

Which is (technically) true.

Ha! I was wondering why the comment to which I had replied had gone.

Maybe a stupid question from a Newb here such as myself, but are there currently any good 3rd party clients for Android and iOS that support Lemmy? I’ve been looking around here using the browser and this platform has promise, but being able to use clients like Apollo, Sync for Reddit, etc, would really make it more useful in my opinion.

The official list is an https://join-lemmy.org/apps , but the main iOS one (remmel) is currently abandoned, so we’re updating that page soon.

There’s a new iOS app being developed by @davidbures@mstdn.social called Mlem.

I made an android one, called Jerboa.

Jerboa

That is a pretty decent client. I come from Relay for Reddit, and at first glance like it a lot. Feels home.

I thought Voat was mostly defunct now.

It is. Shut down in 2020.

Voat is a sad story. The site itself was very good. When Reddit purged their worst subs and users, they all went to Voat. Predictably it became extremely toxic.

That could have been avoided by establishing a counter-culture there, but it seems that this has not been tried well enough. It’s still sad to see the decline of alternatives to almost every large website out there.
