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.

Want to know what’s worse? According to The Verge, /u/iamthatis told them it was Reddit who pulled the plug earlier than planned.

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’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.
- 70ms ( @70ms@lemmy.sdf.org ) English4•1 year ago
I’ll say here what I said there -
“This is like seeing someone steal the motorhome you’ve had tons of adventures and experiences in, and roll it over the edge of the Grand Canyon as you watch helplessly. It’s not just the loss of your comfy, customized motorhome, it’s all of the feelings and memories that are attached to it.”

RIF is as well. Sad times and stuff but I’m happy to be here instead.

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
- SuspiciousUser ( @SuspiciousUser@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year ago
On iOS I sideload Reddit+ with AltStore (no jailbreak needed). It gets rid of all the ads, promoted content and whatnot. Other than that, I also use Inoreader app with the RSS.

Is Teddit and Libreddit going to keep working through this?
- LostRedditor ( @LostRedditor@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year ago
Old.reddit would not show comments anymore. It will direct you to reddit.
So I believe they might stop working at any moment.
- james ( @james@lurk.fun ) English0•1 year ago
Thanks for the suggestion!
- smort ( @smort@feddit.nl ) English1•1 year ago
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.
- phario ( @phario@lemmy.ca ) English1•1 year ago
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.
- MentalEdge ( @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz ) English1•1 year ago
I feel like Lemmy will only grow from here.
So many old subs have popped up and become properly active.
- Mahcle ( @Mahcle@lemmy.ml ) English12•1 year ago
Sync dead too.
- Torty ( @Torty@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year ago
I’m so happy that ljdawson the Sync creator has decided to make something for Lemmy/Fediverse
It gives me a lot of hope for the future with Lemmy as my primary content feed.

I just used it for the last time I think. But I think we are into only minutes left…
- ira ( @ira@lemmy.ml ) English10•1 year ago
Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
- NotBadAndYou ( @NotBadAndYou@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) English8•1 year ago
RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.
- TeaEarlGrayHot ( @TeaEarlGrayHot@lemmy.ca ) English2•1 year ago
I’ve had a ton of issues with Jerboa, but thus far Connect for Lemmy is working well!

I’m having a lot of emotions right now over a stupid app. Been on reddit nearly 15 years at this point so saying goodbye is hard. Saying it because of greed and hubris is even harder. I’m just glad this is here to try and help fill the void because without Apollo I’m never going back.
- neardeaf ( @neardeaf@lemmy.ml ) English5•1 year ago
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!

10 years on it for me. Hope there’s a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling
