Goodnight Apollo, my sweet prince.
Hello Memmy π«‘
You may have already seen this, but there is a web app for Lemmy that looks and functions very similar to Apollo:
Iβve been trying it today, and itβs pretty good.
Holy shit, the developer has put some serious work in. I didnβt know web apps could be that good. Thereβs some insane attention to detail going on here
+1
Incredible, and the dev keeps updating it like twice a day.
I'm also running a copy alongside my instance, thelemmy.club at app.thelemmy.club
I never was really fond of web apps but this is great.
Didn't the Apollo developer say that he was planning on porting his app to the fediverse?
I just joined Lemmy today after uninstalling Reddit Is Fun. It was absolutely surreal just how much habit was in pulling out my phone and pressing the space where RIF used to be. Decided I'm kind of mostly done with Reddit other than quick information look ups on the website.
So here I am! First post! The only constant in life is change. Hello everyone, I hope we all get along! :)
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.
I think a lot of moderators are just going to back down and return to business-as-usual from tomorrow. Reddit will suffer as a business but this isn't going to downright kill the site. Unlike say... Tumblr or OnlyFans, Reddit has a far more diverse clientele and many of them couldn't give a shit about third-party apps.
These half-arsed protests staged after the 14th June have told me that most of Reddit's mods are fucking cowards who are more afraid of losing their status as internet janitors than all the third-party apps.
Reddit's moderators could have easily brought the site to its knees if they just collectively stopped enforcing rules (including site-wide ones), removed Automoderator, unbanned everybody, then told the community to just go nuts.
The mods of /r/interestingasfuck had the right idea by encouraging users to post NSFW content, since this would have chased away advertisers in droves.
I mean the whole "sexy pics of John Oliver" protest that /r/pics had isn't going to chase away advertisers and was something that Spez could easily ignore, but having your content displayed alongside a flood of explicit pornographic images definitely will.
I'd argue it will become like Facebook, with the younger and more intelligent crowd leaving the site.
Excuse me! I'm older and more intelligent, thank you very much.
I hope Reddit fully dies off- that site is a cesspool and deserves to meet a fate similar to tumblr & myspace.
Tumblr? Tf u mean? It's still doing pretty well, MySpace lost all content posted before 2016 and is now a useless empty husk. Tumblr is just smaller, but still active. This comparison makes no sense.
Yeah. Hell, a bunch of people just joined tumblr from reddit. There's a whole reddit refugee tag that was trending for a minute there.
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.
I hope Lemmy will be successful, and maintain healthy communities.
Hiya Lemmy.world, another Reddit refugee here, pleased to join you fine folk.
Can't be worse than what Musk just did.
Ye, but is it a different website? And at least Twitter original app was half decent.
Spez: Challenge Accepted.
I'll add the obligatory farewell to RIF - "the app I was happy to pay for". This seems like an interesting alternative - I hope the back end is up for it! I won't be going back to Reddit on principle.
Over a decade lurking on reddit; never posted. Just made a lemmy account. I don't need lemmy to be "the next big thing"... just need it to not be overrun by bots and astroturfing. Hopefully some of the smaller subs I visit move over.
Even as somebody who has never used, and will likely never need Apollo, I am really grateful for what he did. However unintentionally, I think he ripped the mask off how rotten the management structure was. It's one thing to sell ads and collect hidden metadata. Pretty much all the apps do it. But the whole way Reddit treated him was beyond despicable.
Hello Lemmy.world
πβ€οΈ
Can confirm, it completely cracked
Former RIF user, sad to see the app go, finna go drink a toast to it, and also going to go help with the downfall of reddit, but I'm happy to be here.
Hello there, fellow refugees!
We here
I am doing my part!
Oooooooh, do we get booted in here when it's overloaded lol I've had an account since June 20th! Do you know who I am?? :))
Truly though, this is awesome. I hope the impact surpasses reddits wildest estimations. As most people it seems...I'm not a mod, don't use a 3rd party ap and I'm not blind. I just paid attention.
Hey all. RiF brought me here. Leaving behind a 12 year Reddit account.
10 years on RIF and Apollo... but this here feels great. Glad to have such a nice alternative without the baggage
There goes RiF, so there goes me. Almost 12 years of Reddit, gone.
PSA: You can use browser scripts to securely delete your posts and comments. Don't gift Reddit your content. Force search engines to scrub dead Reddit links from their results.
i kinda doubt that there will be hordes joining Lemmy. Most who cares already migrated
Looking for a new home from Reddit; glad to be among friends!
