Sad to see almost none of the devs, from
Apollor (ChristianSelig), RIF (u/talklittle), Infinity (u/Hostilenemy),
Boost (rmayayo), BaconReader, to Relay (u/DBrady), etc. are not considering Lemmy at all.
I know these were hobbies but by atleast developing it for some time just to make transition for your audience to Lemmy easier would have gone a long way!
@lemmy @LemmyDev Lemmy will remain a niche platform if not enough people switch to it
How do you know they’re not considering it at all?
Reddit just pulled the rug out from under them, give them some time at least to come to terms with that and decide what’s best for them. They certainly weren’t hobbies, look at Christian’s (Apollo) posts on the debacle and you get a sense of the scale of what he built.
I’m hoping Christian makes a Lemmy compatible app (I’d subscribe in an instance like I have been for Apollo) like the developers of Tweetbot did for Mastodon but they have to do what is right for them in the first instance!
Well Doctile Alligator is trying to implement a subscription model. Of cause you can also compile it yourself with your own API key since it keeps being Open Source
