So sad. I literally just opened it up for one last scroll, and nothing loaded.

Goodnight sweet prince.

Pulling it early is a "don't let the door it you on the way out". Guess they really want us all to get out and stay out.

[–] geodim 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not early. It was right before midnight UTC.

[–] MsPenguinette 6 points 1 year ago

Dev says in the linked post that it was a bit early. I assumed it was like 10 minutes early based on the post times I saw on the first wave of o7 posts

Rip. Glad I got Mlem lined up to replace it. This is my first comment as a refugee lol

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same. Also trying Memmy at the same time. Still undecided which I like better!

[–] failsafe5000 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Right now I’m liking Memmy over Mlem

[–] OptimalAutomation 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed. I’m finding Memmy a bit more intuitive over Mlem for things like finding new communities. The signup was also super simple which I think is crucial from brining in new users.

Be sure to check out wefwef.app - it’s a PWA clone of Apollo!

[–] SoonerMagic 3 points 1 year ago

So many good apps. Wish I could combine features from so many into one.

I like Memmy and WefWef the best as of now. Memmy feels faster so I’ve been using it, but it lacks a few features that I like from WefWef.

Spez put a bullet in Apollo’s brain while it was enjoying the sunset

[–] Limes 19 points 1 year ago

All my homies hate Spez

[–] nyawow 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

fuck u/spez my first memorable comment here

[–] BB69 2 points 1 year ago

Happy to be of service

[–] Khazram 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck spez for being a greedy little pig bitch. Apollo might not work anymore but I’ll be damned if I’ll ever delete it off my phone, just for sentimental nostalgia. Thank you Christian for building a great app!

[–] dusky 3 points 1 year ago

That app ain’t ever leaving my phone, shame it got such a sudden end :/

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Strong "you didn't dump me, I dumped you first!" vibe

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You can't fire me, I quit!

[–] SnowGlobal 14 points 1 year ago

Goodnight sweet prince.

Spez eats corn the long way

[–] dylanTheDeveloper 2 points 1 year ago

He takes corn tip first

[–] plumblossom 10 points 1 year ago

I am so sad. I had to put Memmy in the spot I had Apollo in so I don’t mess up my muscle memory. I am really glad Apollo is inspiring some great new apps though. I hope Lemmy and Kbin continue to take off. Thanks for everything, Christian.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

May it rest in peace.

Here via wefwef after the end of Apollo. I’m glad that there’s so much support for Lemmy with an interface similar to Apollo!

Sad to see Apollo end and don’t see myself on reddit other than the occasional google search question.

[–] HiddenRetro 5 points 1 year ago

Sad day. One of my all time favorite apps.

[–] octavio_dingus 3 points 1 year ago

Such a bummer. Time to take my life back. Buhbye Reddit.
