Apollo - A beautiful app built for power and speed.

Since many of us are trying to avoid giving reddit any traffic, this space can be used to discuss Apollo, our dreams of seeing it join the Fediverse, and to give our appreciation to @[email protected] for his incredible work.

I see that WefWef says you can export your subscribed subreddits to it, but I don't get the option. Is it too late now, or can you use another service?

Thanks! For future reference - you have to be on the "Thank You" screen to bring up the right menu.

It used to be there before the API shut down at the top right corner of the settings screen. However, I don’t think it could possibly be functional now because it would require API calls to get a list of your subs. So it’s probably just gone now.

Just need to open Apollo, shake your iPhone, and the menu to export should show up. I did it yesterday

[–] rivhi 3 points 1 year ago

Oooh yes I just did it and this works. Nice! Never would have tried that myself

Apollo did have a local list of your subs and filters. It was able to save more filters than Reddit allowed. It was still accessible after Apollo’s API access was shut down.

Shake your device and the export option will appear. Make sure you are on the latest version.

Commenting because I also have this question, on IOS specifically

Either way, not all subreddits are in the fediverse…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's now possible to do through reddit.com on wefwef.app, no longer need to export from apollo.

[–] bluemellophone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can’t find it either. My guess is Apollo can’t know what subreddits you subscribed to without checking with Reddit, which is not possible because Christian quite literally deleted the Apollo API credentials.

See this comment. I think that just exports some data that were saved before it got shut down, including subscribed subreddits

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Once I export the JSON file, how do I import it into wefwef?

[–] BluDood 2 points 1 year ago

They changed the process a bit, now you'll have to use Reddit's multireddit feature to generate the list. Make sure you're on the latest version, and just go to Settings > Migrate :)
