I’m here too having signed up this morning. I am still hoping for a good iOS mobile experience. Either way I’m here for the long run. I’m done with Reddit.

As soon as Apollo stopped working, i deleted it and moved Memmy to Apollo’s spot. I will miss it and enjoyed the developers work on it but I’m done with Reddit unless my troubleshooting work points me there.
Normally I would get my news from Reddit but I have Apple News and that works fine for now while Lemmy ramps up.
I had a more hate than love relationship with Reddit over the last decade. Quit and rejoined twice. I viewed it as a necessary evil so I could keep up with some smaller tech subreddits.
So I was more than happy to delete my account for good after the events of the last month. Looking forward to being here.
The nexus poster on Twitter are often technically inept (journos, real life famous people, etc.). Therefore I understand the migration to Mastodon and such going slowly. But I have high hopes for the likes of federated Reddit-alternatives, since Reddit’s audience is a much more technical crowd. The only fear I have is the FOSS community’s infamous infighting over non-issues. As long as things like Lemmy or kbin are federating, this is probably a non-issue, but as soon as two or more of the major players get hung up on something irrelevant and cannot reconcile, the party is over as soon as it began.
I’ll still have a look every now and then on the pc with RES. But 95% of my Reddit time was on Apollo. Inreallly enjoyed alien blue before that, so it’s a mystery how they managed to fuckup that once they bought it
Agree. The more I play around and get comfortable with Lemmy the more I realize I don’t need to “grieve” the loss of Reddit
Christian would be wise to start a Lemmy app. He would have a huge following right out the gate.

Dumb question. I've been off reddit and here for about a month. Today 7-2 I opened my boost app and infinity app and noticed new posts. I thought all the api apps were shutting down 6-30?

There is no Reddit without Apollo for me. I can't stand the changes Reddit has made over the years, so I'm fine to leave.

I ran a crack on Apollo, so I'm still using it for now, but I will never use Reddit in a way that gives them ad revenue.
