I haven’t processed what it means yet. I’m still at the first stage of grief.

I was shot down mid-scroll. Brutal.
Holy crap... That is brutal.
I was in the middle of switching over to Lemmy. Honestly I'm really enjoying it so far.
I tried to use the official reddit app and it was horrible. So I'm trying out Lemmy. The look and feel on Lemmy mobile app (Jerboa) is so similar to Reddit is Fun.

Want to know what’s worse? According to The Verge, /u/iamthatis told them it was Reddit who pulled the plug earlier than planned.

ETA so far wefwef.app feels like a great Apollo clone. No push notifications on iOS (yet?) but I added it to my Home Screen and it’s great.
I’m sad now :( I’ll be even sadder tommorow once it sinks in
Same dude. It didn't have got to me how to live without RIF, so I'm still treating it like a momentary shutdown

When this saga began, I didn't think I'd be struggling with such a sense of disconnect with the loss of an app of all things. However, I do feel that Christian's eulogy for Apollo helped, a gentle reminder to "smile because it happened". Here's to moving on.
I'll say here what I said there -
"This is like seeing someone steal the motorhome you've had tons of adventures and experiences in, and roll it over the edge of the Grand Canyon as you watch helplessly. It's not just the loss of your comfy, customized motorhome, it's all of the feelings and memories that are attached to it."
RIF is as well. Sad times and stuff but I'm happy to be here instead.
GOAT app. Don't have the heart to remove it from my phone
Me either. It's just gonna sit there on my phone, having a well earned rest. Sleep well RIF.
So at the moment my “workflow” is to completely stop accessing Reddit via mobile apps. I’ll still use Reddit via Google Searches because it remains important for finding key information.
I’m content playing with Lemmy as my main mobile “app”.
Install https://libredirect.github.io/ to not give them any money lol
Oh this is awesome! I was wondering how I’d manage without the ol’ browser searches
Thanks for the suggestion!

There’s so much community knowledge on reddit, it’s kinda painful to see everyone deleting all their historical comments and posts.
I get it, but still that’s information presumably lost forever.

Sync dead too.
Just opened Sync because "I wanted to use it for one last time" and was hit with the 404... So sad to see a good app vanish like that...
But I'm glad we're getting Sync for Lemmy at the same time.

RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.

Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.
The end of an era
Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!
BaconReader is out
10 years on it for me. Hope there's a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling
F
pours one out 😢
RIP
I was sleeping, I woke up, checked that my boy has been murdered, now I can’t sleep peacefully. It hurts.
RiF just went down as well
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!
RIP Apollo 💔
Rest In Peace, Apollo. You were my favorite social media app. You may rest now. 😔
Somehow Relay is still working.
Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.

R.I.P.
Same for rif. Just made this account about 20 minutes aggo. Been comething here and there. Fuck Steve Huffman. Everyone who reads this, dont be chickening back to reddit now. Lets make this comunity ours.
Wefwef
Sync too :(
Baconreader is also gone. RSVP 🥓
still opening it out of habit
Now I'm like.. what to do? Should I just let go completely?
What then?
Someone on Reddit said “years of muscle memory gone,” which hit me hard. Apollo was Reddit for me for years, so depressing watching this play out.
