ETA so far wefwef.app feels like a great Apollo clone. No push notifications on iOS (yet?) but I added it to my Home Screen and it’s great.
I was in the middle of switching over to Lemmy. Honestly I'm really enjoying it so far.
I tried to use the official reddit app and it was horrible. So I'm trying out Lemmy. The look and feel on Lemmy mobile app (Jerboa) is so similar to Reddit is Fun.
I’m using wefwef.app and so far it’s like 90% of the way to an Apollo clone. Now we just need more users, communities, and content.
Tell all your friends! Wait, we’re all redditors. Shit…
I’m sad now :( I’ll be even sadder tommorow once it sinks in
Same dude. It didn't have got to me how to live without RIF, so I'm still treating it like a momentary shutdown
When this saga began, I didn't think I'd be struggling with such a sense of disconnect with the loss of an app of all things. However, I do feel that Christian's eulogy for Apollo helped, a gentle reminder to "smile because it happened". Here's to moving on.
RIF is as well. Sad times and stuff but I'm happy to be here instead.
Sync dead too.
I just used it for the last time I think. But I think we are into only minutes left...
BaconReader is out
10 years on it for me. Hope there's a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling
So at the moment my “workflow” is to completely stop accessing Reddit via mobile apps. I’ll still use Reddit via Google Searches because it remains important for finding key information.
I’m content playing with Lemmy as my main mobile “app”.
There’s so much community knowledge on reddit, it’s kinda painful to see everyone deleting all their historical comments and posts.
I get it, but still that’s information presumably lost forever.
What is information archival on the Fediverse like? Is there any advantage to Reddit?
Also if I understand last discussions, it’s not clear how well the Fediverse currently behaves with Google searches.
I feel like Lemmy will only grow from here.
So many old subs have popped up and become properly active.
I find that a lot of Lemmy people are positing a vision that won’t exist, which is that there’s going to be a great migration to Lemmy. I don’t think that’s going to happen.
But the key is that you don’t need the hundreds of millions that Reddit has. You can argue that you don’t even want it.
What I want is a return to the 2000-era bulletin board-type numbers where each community would have on the order of a few hundred or thousand active participants.
RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.
I've had a ton of issues with Jerboa, but thus far Connect for Lemmy is working well!
Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
pours one out 😢
Wefwef
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!
R.I.P.
Rest In Peace, Apollo. You were my favorite social media app. You may rest now. 😔
There goes my wallpapers! Jokes aside, it's been a fun time browsing Reddit on Apollo. Easily one of the most enjoyable, well-built app on iOS. So long my little astronaut.
RIP

Someone on Reddit said “years of muscle memory gone,” which hit me hard. Apollo was Reddit for me for years, so depressing watching this play out.
I haven’t processed what it means yet. I’m still at the first stage of grief.
I was shot down mid-scroll. Brutal.
Holy crap... That is brutal.
Want to know what’s worse? According to The Verge, /u/iamthatis told them it was Reddit who pulled the plug earlier than planned.

Install https://libredirect.github.io/ to not give them any money lol
Is Teddit and Libreddit going to keep working through this?
Old.reddit would not show comments anymore. It will direct you to reddit.
So I believe they might stop working at any moment.
Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.
The end of an era
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!
Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.
