I see Apollo and I’m not sure if I want to delete it.
I’m not sure why. I guess I’m kinda hoping there is some update to it that adds some functionality, but I guess that’s not really in the cards.
Anyone else not deleting their third party app for a reason?
I deleted them all from my phone. I decided reddit had moved on into the type of company I no longer wanted to support. I deleted all of my comments, deleted the apps from my phone, logged back in and deleted my comments again, deleted all of their history and cookies from Firefox, and haven’t been back. Even if they fixed the current issues and reopened the public api, what they were already willing to do to their community shows what they are as a business. They will no longer get my clicks, my visits, or my ad revenue.
Im fine with Reddit, too. What I meant by the post was hoping that Apollo will work with Lemmy.
Have you tried WefWef? I’m an android guy but I hear it’s very apollo-esque
Thanks, I’m using it now. I’m surprised a web app can work so well and feel like a native app.
this is the way
Yes… and a couple of other old favorites.
I kind of love that you have a folder for these dead apps. I loved using all of these!
I kinda forget how I transitioned between alien blue, the official app, then Apollo, but the hours I’ve spent on it.
I still have RIF. I know it will not come back, and reddit is not the same comunity that was when I joined (+10 years ago).
But it was an important part of my life, and deleting it seems like closing a door or move on from that age.
Sometimes I still forgot and try to open it anyway
How long until my muscle memory changes and I’m not trying to tap on the spot where Apollo used to be every day?
I’ve already put a Lemmy so there. Apollo is in my app drawer.
I’m not uninstalling it also. It’s a memorial to the good times and to remind me not to visit reddit.
Reddit Is Fun is still working for me in my phone for whatever reason. I’m logged out, and I kept waiting for it to stop working but as of typing this on July 4th, it still loads content. No idea why it still works (I didn’t patch it) or if it’ll stop working any day now.
I still have RIF on my phone. Looks like it still works for browsing but no login. I’ve been using it much less though
There is apparently a Revanced patch available for it to make it fully work again, but you have to set up your own API key for it.
(It gets around the rate limits by pretending each user has their own application)
I’ve kept RIF, but set an app usage time limit of 0 minutes. So it’s still there, but permanently greyed out, like a memorial to what once was.
I still have Boost on my phone and it’s still working. (Reddit realized that turning off the old API was more complex than they thought and it’ll take another few days to weeks to turn off.)
Once it stops working, I’ll uninstall it. Thankfully, the developer of Boost for Reddit is working on Boost for Lemmy. So hopefully I’ll be reinstalling Boost soon - and staying here.
I haven’t deleted BaconReader yet. Taking it off my home screen about a month ago was painful enough, after twelve years of it always being there. I checked it today and it still works if you’re not logged in, have not logged in because I deleted my Reddit account, but there’s a popup about it being discontinued and the link to it on the Play store is dead. Somehow that makes it even harder for me to go ahead and delete it, even though I need more space on my phone.
That’s how I feel about Apollo. Thanks for letting me know that it is not just me.
I got rid of mine and the reddit account. So much for a decade of my life.
The only reason I’m keeping my Reddit account is that they did not require an email to create the account. If ever they require it I will delete it. Maybe they will pull a Twitter and require an account. You never know when you will need the info posted there.
If you have Android there is a way to patch and still use 3rd party Reddit apps using ReVanced Manager. I’m still able to use BaconReader after patching it and it works great. It seems to be faster too.
That’s interesting, but I’m done with Reddit. I guess what I mean by the post was that there would be a surprise update so it magically works with Lemmy.
Yeah I still have RIF on my phone and tablet. Partially as a memorial to what was and on the extremely outside chance it will work again.
Yeah, but I moved the icon so it’s no longer on my main screen. I haven’t been back to reddit in weeks, and probably never will.
I used to use Joey for reddit, but uninstalled it before July, to avoid being tempted back to reddit. Enjoying lemmy so far though.
I still have joey, which I use for nsfw reddit exclusively. Still works.
