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.
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

RIF is as well. Sad times and stuff but I’m happy to be here instead.
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.
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.
Wefwef
pours one out 😢
RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.
Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.
Sync dead too.
Just opened Sync because “I wanted to use it for one last time” and was hit with the 404… So sad to see a good app vanish like that…
But I’m glad we’re getting Sync for Lemmy at the same time.
RIP Apollo 💔
R.I.P.
