The death of Apollo is literally why I'm starting to look at online spaces other than Reddit as my go-to

Same. Apollo = Reddit for me. Take Apollo out and I have no way to access Reddit (that I’d want to use).

I would love to see Christian make an Apollo variant for Lemmy at this point.

I know he wants a break. But I would love to see Apollo for Lemmy

mlem is planning a stable iOS release by 6/30, and using Apollo for inspiration. You won’t need to wait long.

On the android side, jabroa is kinda clunky. Hoping some other people step up to the plate.

Me too, but I think the Reddit and Lemmy APIs are sufficiently different that he would effectively have to rebuild most of the app. I have high hopes for https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem, I'm in the TestFlight, but it's too incomplete to actually use currently. Still, I'll miss Apollo itself far more than Reddit.

Godspeed Christian. Personally, I am very much looking forward to the impact you will have on the fediverse. There's not many whom I would trust more with it.
