They have a remix of “I will remember you” that I haven’t seen anyone on the internet talk about.
What a great way to close this chapter. Just brilliant. Fuck /u/spez. You slimy, greedy pig boy. I will remember Apollo.

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 will also remember Apollo! I am so pissed that that wonderful app is gone.
Forced me to try something new, at least. Trying to navigate the fediverse on Memmy right now.
RIP Apollo. You were wonderful.
Hey if you come from Apollo you have to try wefwef app, here’s the link https://wefwef.app/posts/lemmy.world/all
Let me know if you like it! It is very similar to Apollo experience
Thank you for the recommendation! It is very similar. I’m digging Memmy right now but this may be more up my alley!
I’m on memmy too. I quite like it so far.
It’s very Apollo-like. It’s working well for me, but I’m still a little confused about finding communities, and I wish the place was a bit more active in general. But so far, I like it!
I exported the Apollo json (doesn’t seem to be an option anymore) which held the subs we were subbed to in it. I then created an account on we feed and imported the json there and it tried to connect me to the equivalent communities here. They aren’t as big and it wasn’t perfect, but it did the job… now I switched to Memmy. (Nothing against wefwef I just don’t like web apps).
I just noticed this.
I updated Apollo on both my phone and iPad before I could export! I was so bummed when I realized that!
I’ve been slowly adding in communities and recreating my Reddit experience.
After a couple updates, I think I’m preferring Memmy right now, as well.
Apparently you still can! Open Apollo and shake the device, you’ll get an option to export local data. Then you can put that export into Wefwef!
I wish I knew this before I deleted the app! There’s no way for me to log back in to get that info, unfortunately, but I hope someone else sees your comment and can benefit from it. Really good to know!
I second wefwef. It’s 85%+ an Apollo clone.
I like it, but I need a native app. My eyesight is poor. Apollo and Memmy let me set text size. I have to zoom in too far to Wefwef to the point where the gestures fuck up when I scroll back and forth.
It’s a great setup though for someone without my limitations.
Edit: I’m a dumbass and didn’t realize there were settings to change text size! Lol. Well now I will have to compare this to my Memmy experience and see what I like more. Thanks for the recommendation.
Visit settings > appearance in wefwef to adjust font size without zoom. Worked for me, at least, but my apologies if you already tried this.
Haha I just found it, but thank you anyway! It definitely helps! I'm not sure what I prefer right now, but I think Wefwef is edging out Memmy for me, at the moment.
Well done. Enjoyed the song.
The song “I will Remember Apollo” was also posted in a montage on Christian’s YouTube.
Unfortunately I deleted it yesterday. What was the song?
He’s done a custom version of “I will remember you”. Worth downloading it for a listen
I saw. All of this is just awful. I remember when I first made a Reddit account after lurking for years, I immediately looked for an app and couldn’t find an official one. Apollo popped up though, and I’m glad it did, because I loved it.
I’m never deleting the app, though. I’ll leave it so I remember why I left Reddit.
I will remember Apollo
Such a sweet send-off. Saddened.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
Is the Apollo export feature gone in the latest version? I’m not seeing it anymore.
I just exported from the latest version.
It’s on the top right corner of the Settings page
This is what Apollo looks like for me now on the latest version.
So weird. I updated to this version before and didn’t have that screen. I was able to get back to the original interface.
Just now while trying to figure out what you were seeing I force quite the app and restarted and now I’m seeing what you’re seeing and I can’t get past it.
It’s almost like there was interface change that was scheduled to happen at a particular time. I wonder if @[email protected] could help?
Wondering the same, I did export once to populate wefwef but would like to have the option to do it again.
Always remember this fantastic app and the community behind.
Make sure you download the JSON export file before updating as you cannot afterwards (as I found out).
I don’t suppose anyone has found a way around this? What with the memorial page being the only screen now :/
So that was the Easter egg he was talking about or was there something else?
Love it, but don’t love that I have a permanent alert bubble on the icon I can’t get rid of haha. I hate unread alert bubbles.
Good times…
I have android so I had never used Apollo and frankly never heard of it until recently. That song still makes me sad. A community lost, but not forgotten.
