Verge interviewed the maker of Relay for Reddit and says he might survive on a subscription only model of $2-3 USD per month. Lots of limitations inherent in that, but maybe.
How do lemmies feel about this?
Relay was my go to app also, something about the flow of the app UI always appealed to me more than any other apps. So much so, I continued using it even after I found the paid app included trackers (these can be blocked with Warden, a rare app scanner you can find on github).
However even if I wanted to stay on reddit I don’t think I’d pay a monthly subscription.
Reddit really should be paying users, not the other way around. They steal our data for free and seek to profit from it.
Relay I think was the android counterpoint to Apollo in that it is always up to date with the Android design language of the time. It is by far my favourite Reddit app and DBrady is a champ. I don’t know if it’s worth 3USD a month though. Especially when a large chunk of that goes to Reddit. I would definitely be down for a Relay for Lemmy though.
