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.
Super glad lemmy is in place and I've gotten used to it. The first week where I didn't have this place and wasn't opening Apollo was like quitting smoking (which I've done before)
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.
"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."
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”.
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.
This has been working amazingly! Smooth, user friendly, and you can add the app to you Home Screen by “sharing” the web page then tapping add to Home Screen.
I've been bouncing all over the place trying different apps while I wait for Sync for Lemmy. Just switched from Connect to wefwef.app and so far I really like it.
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 Apollo. I’ve had Apollo on the front page of my phone for so long it just looked plain wrong not having it there so for me, wefwef now has the Apollo icon!
Today Christian pushed an update so people could export their Pixel Pals to his other app. I don't think he thought Apollo would crash so I reckon he will push one final update soon.
Same for rif. Just made this account about 20 minutes aggo. Been comething here and there. Fuck Steve Huffman. Everyone who reads this, dont be chickening back to reddit now. Lets make this comunity ours.
