Looks like Apollo is now dead boys and girls. Feels like having a loved one die

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

[–] wtfeweguys@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was shot down mid-scroll. Brutal.

[–] YouNaughtyMonsters@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Retirix_YT@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I’m sad now :( I’ll be even sadder tommorow once it sinks in

[–] PeWu@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] mikeycfuckinup@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

GOAT app. Don't have the heart to remove it from my phone

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”.

Oh this is awesome! I was wondering how I’d manage without the ol’ browser searches

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.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I feel like Lemmy will only grow from here.

So many old subs have popped up and become properly active.

[–] NotBadAndYou@lemmy.fmhy.ml 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] wreel 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] 6jarjar6 4 points 2 years ago

10 years on it for me. Hope there's a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling

[–] ira@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff

[–] Hungovah@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

The end of an era

[–] neardeaf@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!

I was sleeping, I woke up, checked that my boy has been murdered, now I can’t sleep peacefully. It hurts.

[–] Gravelsack@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

RiF just went down as well

[–] Maffrow@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

pours one out 😢

[–] goforliftoff@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.

[–] LostRedditor@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

RIP Apollo 💔

[–] ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Rest In Peace, Apollo. You were my favorite social media app. You may rest now. 😔

[–] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Somehow Relay is still working.

Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!

End of an era. Apollo joins Alien Blue in app heaven. RIP.

My 12 year old account has joined them there. It looks like my time on Reddit is over.

Today Christian pushed an update so people could export their Pixel Pals to his other app. I don't think he thought Apollo would crash so I reckon he will push one final update soon.

Edit: nevermind, Apollo doesn't crash anymore.

There goes my wallpapers! Jokes aside, it's been a fun time browsing Reddit on Apollo. Easily one of the most enjoyable, well-built app on iOS. So long my little astronaut.

[–] PocoGoneLoco@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Just checked, and yep - it crashes whenever I try to open it. Honestly, it feels sort of surreal to think that this day ever came.

[–] Steak@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Sync too :(
