It’s a third party Reddit app for Android. One of the many that are getting killed off by the API changes. A lot of people liked it because it has a much better UI than the official Reddit app and I’m sure plenty of people will love getting to bring the same experience over to Lemmy now.
I’m admittedly jealous. I’d love if Apollo pivoted to Lemmy as well but I don’t blame Christian at all for taking a step away from things after becoming the face of the 3PA developers in this entire debacle. Hopefully at least one of the several iOS Lemmy apps currently in-development can provide something familiar.
Oh great, thank you.
I don't know why, but with the amount of craze sync for lemmy was generating, I couldn't wrap my head around it just being one of the third party apps. Im really happy for all the Sync users that get to move here and keep their preferred app, but you would think there was a pizza giveaway or something with the amount of posts there are about it.
The loss of third-party apps is the reason most of us are here. Makes sense that people are a bit excited that one of the favorites is following us here too haha.
You're right that is weird. I think most sync users including me find it to be far superior any Reddit experience, better than RES, and all the other apps or web interfaces.
I couldn't stand Reddit in any other form after trying sync.
One thing I'm really missing is that once I've read a post, it can be hidden in sync so I'm only seeing new content. I'm having to re-read so many posts in Lemmy right now and just want to move on to new things!
