Goodnight Apollo, my sweet prince.
Hello Memmy 🫡
You may have already seen this, but there is a web app for Lemmy that looks and functions very similar to Apollo:
I’ve been trying it today, and it’s pretty good.
Wefwef feels like home. I was using Apollo for years and this feels very natural
Damn, that looks just like Apollo!
That’s the idea, but better because Fediverse>Reddit.
Damn… I hadn’t been paying attention and thought that was actually exclusively an iOS app when I’d seen it mentioned before… Looks interesting.
You can use it oN Android and feels ilegal, but ilegally awesome.
Nah, it’s for everyone.
And if you save it to your Home Screen as an app it feels really good to use.
Yes… This is what I learned and the reason for my comment. It looks very interesting as I said. Not bad at all.
WTF! i been on lemmy for 2 weeks and this is my first time seeing this! Thanks
e: This is friggin amazing!
No prob, fam!
I’m just curious; why is it a web app and not something you can download? The black bar in the bottom of the screen makes it feel weird, also the fact that upvote/downvote colors are reversed. Other than that, it soothens my withdrawals from Apollo, and I think I’ll be using it a fair amount alongside Memmy (which feels nice, it’s not a 100% carbon copy, but familiar)
Click the share button and save it your home screen it’ll save and operate as an app. It’s a web app just a new build option that makes it easier for something to be accessible in multiple ways.
Didn’t the Apollo developer say that he was planning on porting his app to the fediverse?
Voyager now… i know this thread us really old.
Hiya Lemmy.world, another Reddit refugee here, pleased to join you fine folk.
I wonder how many people who didn’t understand Reddit that well and just used it to scroll r/aww just woke up to disabled third party apps one day and figure that Reddit went under. I have to imagine they lost less internet literate users.
10+ yr rif user, bring it Lemmy
Man, if you told me a couple months ago, that I would stop using Reddit, I wouldn’t believe you. I’ve been on it over a decade. It took Spez ONE MONTH to undo everything and make that a reality.
RiF is dead, and so is the vast majority of my Reddit participation.
CYA REDDIT!! 8 year old account all deleted and everything I modded is handed down :)
First comment. Looking forward to the new(ish) community full of familiar faces.
I have a weird request to the other Redfugees: I had considered going through and nuking my entire post history for all of my accounts. But then I realized that a lot of the advice that I’ve given on /linux and /python would be lost. I’m not a master at either, but I like to think that I’ve helped people out.
So before deleting everything as a (justified!) middle finger to a terrible CEO, take into account that what you’ve written is a part of a tapestry of internet history. 99.99% is trite. But you never know what future generations will find interesting or useful.
Just my $0.02.

One more day until Reddit Isn’t Fun… :(
It’s been a good run, but without RiF the site is worthless.
That being said, it paves the way for the Fediverse to grow, so rather than celebrating the end of an era, I’m enjoying the birth of a new one.
I crisis can be an opportunity.
It’s unlikely that reddit was the best site possible for us. We know how to improve it.
