Christian already commented on this. He said it's a lot more work than it might seem, and he's not interested in maintaining that. And I don't blame him, the poor dude needs a break from technology for a while.

In the Android world, the Sync for Reddit developer expressed some subtle interest in Lemmy, but has not committed to anything one way or the other.

I think the big push to converting Reddit apps to Lemmy apps won't happen until July. We'll have to see.

Apollo is literally just one dude. He should do whatever he wants. He had a good run, almost certainly made a life-changing amount of money and is ready to move on. I can totally respect that.

I also think anyone who says should "just" probably has never written anything as complex and popular as Apollo before. There really is no "just" anything at that scale.

Say I made a post to some specific subreddit from apollo. How does the app decide which lemmy community to use, on which instance? Or if I voted or made a comment, on which post on which community on which instance should it land?

I don’t think this is a serviceable idea.

Definitely, but they should allow people to choose their instance naturally. We don't want every user to end up in lemmy.world (or any other instance for that matter), decentralization is key, otherwise, at some point, it will end up exactly like reddit.

I don't think that's feasible, how would it handle choosing communities or pinging users?

These apps seem pretty similar (although new and barebones): memmy https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

Mlem https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc

I’m using Mlem as well. I’m interested in trying any apps to see what is out there. Right now this has a really nice feel about it. Definitely enough to get me started and more useful than the web app on my iPhone.
