Looks like Apollo is now dead boys and girls. Feels like having a loved one die
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.
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…
Want to know what’s worse? According to The Verge, /u/iamthatis told them it was Reddit who pulled the plug earlier than planned.

(Lemmy gif test, take #1)
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.
To get push notification, something needs to ping the server now and then in order to check if there’s any update to push you. This is why Apollo ultra had a cost to it. I’d imagine eventually the self hosted version of wefwef can get push… public instance not so sure.
Oh. Ohhhhhhhh. That makes sense.
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.
GOAT app. Don’t have the heart to remove it from my phone
Sync dead too.
I just used it for the last time I think. But I think we are into only minutes left…
Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!
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”.
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.
Thanks for the suggestion!
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.
The end of an era
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!
I was sleeping, I woke up, checked that my boy has been murdered, now I can’t sleep peacefully. It hurts.
RIP
