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.
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.
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

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.
I feel like Lemmy will only grow from here.
So many old subs have popped up and become properly active.
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.
BaconReader is out
10 years on it for me. Hope there's a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling
Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
The end of an era

RIP Apollo 💔
Rest In Peace, Apollo. You were my favorite social media app. You may rest now. 😔
Somehow Relay is still working.

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.
Wefwef
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.
Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.

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.
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.
Sync too :(
