Apollo was updated on the AppStore today.

1.15.15 Adds an option to download all wallpapers rather than having to do it individually. Also adds an option to sign up to be notified for my Next Thing™!>>

I’m sad he didn’t use Apollo’s platform to advertise Lemmy (or kbin or any other platform). He had an attentive follower base with his app. Now most people deleted it (I still have it in a folder, I can resolve myself to delete it). Even if he wasn’t making a new app he could have guided some users to a better place.

Well, maybe he just doesn't know what Lemmy is or how cool it is, so he isn't confident to "guide people" somewhere else, although this would be hard to believe since I guess he is a Mastodon user.

It is a shame for sure, especially since many people tried to talk to him about the Fediverse, and even about Voyager app formerly Wefwef (I am glad for this PWA, even when I was not an Apollo user anymore because of Android).
