A post to a news story about Apollo shutting down at the end of this month was already made, but I thought that the original post by the Apollo Dev was worth also citing. This is a VERY interesting read, though long. He also has audio recordings of all his dealings with Reddit of late.

I don't really understand why he refuses to consider moving his app to Lemmy. He cites that he doesn't want to be in an administrative position but I don't really see why he'd have to be?

It'd be so nice to have a nicer mobile app for Lemmy, no offense to the jerboa devs, but I'm hoping sync decides to come to Lemmy.

Presumably he just doesn't know anything about Lemmy, and has misunderstood what people are asking of him. Let's see where things sit in a couple of months.

Exactly, Christian just had his project of the last 8 years ruined. To suffer a loss like that may take some time before considering a new project.
