Apollo - A beautiful app built for power and speed.

Since many of us are trying to avoid giving reddit any traffic, this space can be used to discuss Apollo, our dreams of seeing it join the Fediverse, and to give our appreciation to @[email protected] for his incredible work.

Christian your app will be sorely missed. Deleting my account tonight and going all in on lemmy. It’s been a great run!

For everyone missing Apollo, give wefwef a go! It feels just like Apollo but for Lemmy!

Memmy is also a great Apollo-like app for iOS. They say they’re hoping to launch it in the App Store today, but if you can’t wait here’s the TestFlight link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

Sounds like some tokens broke when Reddit pulled the plug. Still no access to content, but Christian has fixed the app itself in case anyone still wants to tip, refuse a refund, get the wallpapers, or download their data.

It’s over

I could not imagine to have this feeling about losing an app, truly sad. But we build something new here!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Yes. What we have got here is pretty sweet

I'm not ashamed to admit that this is a significant moment in my life. It's the end of an era. It has had significant impacts on my habits.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Agreed. It might sound dumb but I am experiencing a sort of grief right now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yep. For years I’d scroll Reddit during my off-time. Sitting on the bus or in the train, when taking a short break from work.

There was always something interesting to read, and now it’s ruined.

I hope Lemmy picks up but it takes years to build up such a large userbase.

Couldn’t have said it better……

I’m also finding this.

RIP Apollo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep it’s done

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Similar thing happened to Reddit sync, I get error 429 (too many requests). It's time to move over permanently to lemmy!

Consider not getting a pro-rated refund from Christian if you see fit. If you got value out of the app, it's one last hurrah for Christian.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’m my case, I can open the app but can’t change the app icon. Instantly crashes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The same thing is happening to me!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It will forever have its own page

Yes, 1000 times yes

Same here /: unfortunately I didn’t get to download the wallpapers before it died which is kinda a bummer, but as a 12+ year Reddit user I’m still glad to have supported Christian one last time.
