If you downloaded Slide off of the google playstore, the premium version was paid as a way to help support the dev. If you downloaded it off of F-Droid, or directly from Github, the premium features were free.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I really enjoyed the “get out of your way” style the app has. I also really liked that you had to slide to upvote/downvote on posts instead of having static buttons you can accidentally press. It also had a decent system for switching between multiple accounts. Finally, it’s all open source so one could fork it and customize it if they wanted to.
For me, I liked the ability to swipe left and right between subreddits (the order on which you could configure), you could also swipe between posts. It’s also open source and pretty customisable. Unfortunately it’s not been updated in over a year.
The concept of swiping was used everywhere. Makes it quick and easy to use. You could just swipe right to close a thread, or the video/image. No need to use the back button, or reach for the tiny X in the corner.
And the seamless galley mode was awesome. Very unique (only found it quite similar in Joey).
Yes please, I just uninstalled slide last week. While some things would bug out ocassionally, I couldn’t imagine using any other app with reddit.
I’m on Jerboa now and its just not the same.
Thank you so much! I tried several Reddit apps over the years and Slide was by far my favorite. I used it up until the blackout when I left Reddit for Lemmy.
SLIDE WAS THE BEST! It ran under the radar and the dev was MIA for a long time so I had to switch to Infinity but it was the best app I used for Reddit, soooo pumped to see Slimmey

Oh HELLS yes, this was the superior reddit app
YES! thank youu. That was my app for redditing. So glad the transition will be minimal with this
Slide was my favorite Reddit client. I’m glad it’s being resurrected to serve a greater purpose!
If it is open source, then I’ll test it for sure.
Same. It was the best Reddit app IMO.
I kept using it, until last week ^^"
Same, I emailed the Devs yesterday suggesting a Lemmy port. Guess they already had the memo and worked on it.
It is, or at least should be. The original source is here.
I don’t think it is, although that’s kind of the trade off with premium client apps
GitHub page says it’s open-source., this version we don’t know yet.
It’s copyleft, not permissive, so we do know it’ll continue to be Free Software.
Can confirm, it’ll be foss, though the code is kinda horrifying :D
Where is all of this coming from??? Guys, Slide is FOSS, it’s under the GNUv3 license lmao

Oh I had no idea! I just assumed it was closed source because I had to pay to get the Pro version. Still an app worth paying for though

oh really? yeah lets do this! I still have Slide installed on my phone, excited for Lemmy version
Nice
I never used slide. What do people like about it?
I really like it has buttons to jump to previous/next parent comment. It made skimming top comments a breeze.
I like it because I like the feel of the old Material v1 theme (it seems the most functional to me), and Slide takes it and uses it to its limits.
Custom color-coding of subs was nice when you scrolled so far you forgot where you were.

Looks good.
Slide along with Infinity are my fav apps for reddit
You had me at Slide.
You son of a bitch I’m in.

When and where can we get this?
