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

I was shot down mid-scroll. 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.

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.
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”.
Install https://libredirect.github.io/ to not give them any money lol

I feel like Lemmy will only grow from here.
So many old subs have popped up and become properly active.

And just like that, the post-Reddit age of the Internet dawns.
.... Who wants pancakes??
I just tried this WeWef web app and it’s pretty much identical to Apollo, in case anyone is looking for a lemmy equivalent.
Open in Safari and save to the homescreen as an app.
It is SPECTACULAR. I can’t recommend it enough.
The Home Screen trick made it perfect. chef’s kiss
This has been working amazingly! Smooth, user friendly, and you can add the app to you Home Screen by “sharing” the web page then tapping add to Home Screen.
RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.
I've had a ton of issues with Jerboa, but thus far Connect for Lemmy is working well!
I've been bouncing all over the place trying different apps while I wait for Sync for Lemmy. Just switched from Connect to wefwef.app and so far I really like it.
Sync dead too.
I just used it for the last time I think. But I think we are into only minutes left...
Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.
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.
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.
The end of an era
BaconReader is out
10 years on it for me. Hope there's a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling
I was sleeping, I woke up, checked that my boy has been murdered, now I can’t sleep peacefully. It hurts.
Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!
RIP Apollo 💔
RIP
pours one out 😢
Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.

R.I.P.
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.
RIP Apollo. I’ve had Apollo on the front page of my phone for so long it just looked plain wrong not having it there so for me, wefwef now has the Apollo icon!

😢 End of an era.
Someone on Reddit said “years of muscle memory gone,” which hit me hard. Apollo was Reddit for me for years, so depressing watching this play out.
Check out wefwef.app
Sad day, hopefully I work out what I'm doing here..!
Somehow Relay is still working.
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.
