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.

Planning to do this later today. Hopefully it stays working even though I definitely will be using Reddit a lot less than before. Still awesome to see though!

No reason to use Reddit at all at this point.

That would require us to continue to use Reddit. I’m staying away from it for the long haul.

I cant imagine this will continue to work once Apollo’s backend infrastructure is fully deprecated.

Also don’t understand why people would bend over backwards like this to jailbreak, modify an app, and use a degraded experience for Reddit. They’ve made it abundantly clear they don’t care about users.

I thought about this but I really don’t want to A) jailbreak my phone or B) support Reddit in any form after how they treated the 3rd party devs

[–] Hikiru 3 points 1 year ago

I’m guessing you could sideload using something like AltStore without jailbreak

Neat stuff. Looks to be jailbroken phones only at the moment. Let's hope that changes in the future.

Thanks for sharing.

Don’t need a jail broken phone. Using on my stick iPhone iOS 16

[–] Zobin 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Notice: You will need to be jailbroken on IOS 15+

Notice: Reddit will break this ASAP and you risk getting your account banned. Also you can't view NSFW with this. Also....why the fuck would you put in this much effort to support a shitty company?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Agreed. As much as I'd like to continue using Apollo, there comes a point in time when you have to acknowledge it's over.

You don't need to be jailbroken. You will have to sideload the app via alt store or sideloady. But I'm running Apollo 1.15.11 with a personal API and no unknown issues at all. Obviously notifications do not work but everything else seems to.
