Hi! Those of you who use New Pipe (YT front-end on android) know that you can change your feed and search to Soundcloud, a Peertube instance, Bandcamp, and more, all in the same app.

I would love to stay on Lemmy, but most of the times that I´m looking for something, I find the answer that helps me on Reddit. If there could be a client where I´m logged into Lemmy, and could search Reddit as well with a switch button, it would be ideal for me, but i havent found a client that can do this. I don´t like having both apps, i would rather just have one. Any thoughts?

    A lot of good ideas like that died when reddit pulled APIs or made access to them prohibitively expensive for developers. They are so set on making you use their shitty app.

      Makes sense, they license all of the content under their ownership, it sucks. I picked Voyager as a client, and will be using Infinity as a R. front end for now.

    Don’t App developers need to pay for Reddit’s API which is why the Reddit boycott started in the first place? I doubt an open source client would really want to pay for a API so you had to stick with two apps unfortunately…

      Free rate-limted API is available from Reddit which can be plugged in to the client or through patching with the API token. That’s how older apps like Boost, Sync etc. still work.

      Where in the app is the lemmy integration? I’ve been using it for quite some time and never seen that feature.

        In All or when searching. I think it requires an alpha version of v3.0.0, which can be found on GitLab but not F-Droid
