Pretty sure nothing will change. Most people will actually start using the official app and quit 3rd party knowing they will eventually stop working soon. However i’m happy to have found this place, if lemmy grows in popularity is primarily thanks to reddit API changes. Will it be enough to surpass Reddit? we’ll see.
Even if it doesn’t grow much more, I’m actually enjoying Lemmy a lot with the current user base size. Reddit changed a lot during the early years of growth, this feels a lot more like the early reddit that got me using the site.
I don’t think enough people hate themselves to go to the official app after using a 3rd party one. I tried multiple times before I moved to Joey and Joey is the only reason I browse reddit at all. Using the official app is like trying to swim with a full suit of armor on and a migraine.
I used to be a Joey user too! But let’s face it, official app wil be the only one available, unless you are willing to move and learn Lemmy (not easy for casuals) people “have to” use it.

People say that a lot, but Lemmy doesn’t seem too hard to use tbh. The iOS app isn’t great, but it’s in beta testing, so that’s to be expected lol.
