We just need a easy to use, beautiful mobile client and so many people will switch over to it.
One can only dream that these canceled 3rd party clients might join some day. Hopefully some will be opensource or they decide to support any other platform.
It would've been great if they just collectively change to something else.
the dev for RedReader (minimalist and awesome FLOSS reddit client) has indicated RR will be targeting Lemmy as soon as Lemmy instances smooth out after an anticipated load ramp up from reddit defectors. I am sure others are planning the same thing.
Probably not just waiting for instances to smooth out, but waiting to see if reddit actually follows through. I think they likely will, but there is an off chance heads roll when they realize all the people creating, aggregating, and moderating their site are the ones that are pissed off and leaving. The casuals may not care directly about this decision, but they will when the content goes to shit.
