Apollo should just ALSO post to Lemmy under the hood (self.lemmyworld)

Make it seamless for people to migrate. Duplicate comments/posts/vote API calls to Lemmy. Then they could just drop the Reddit side whenever they want, and users wouldn’t have to do any work. Most wouldn’t even notice the change.

Of course they’d have to keep the app up in the meantime, but I’d donate to that fund.

Apollo is literally just one dude. He should do whatever he wants. He had a good run, almost certainly made a life-changing amount of money and is ready to move on. I can totally respect that.

I also think anyone who says should "just" probably has never written anything as complex and popular as Apollo before. There really is no "just" anything at that scale.

Certainly it’s not simple, and I can just imagine if my CTO asked for this, I would hope it was a joke. However, compared to the effort of all the coordination and time spent protesting…

Christian Can do whatever he wants, he did a good thing by being political enough to spread awareness. I wouldn’t ask more. There’s always incongruencies when doing a migration, but adding a second model for each Reddit primitive is a short list. we don’t need to mirror sidebars or messaging, just posts, comments, votes.

Maybe Apollo should open source.

The easy way is to just put whatever Lemmy instance they prefer in a webview, but I guess that would stick out like a sore thumb on iOS and wouldn't offer the experience users are used to. Probably be better to just call it a day, take a long holiday and maybe start a new project later (or just get a regular 9-5 job). Apollo has been part of his life for about a decade, I wouldn't fault him for just moving on.
