I started with the official app for the longest time, but then it just got worse and worse.

Constant A/B tests, godawful changes, the video player, etc.. There was a subreddit made to ~~complain~~ submit bug reports and discuss the app, r/redditmobile. At first, the devs were quite receptive with the community, even apologizing for removing a swipe gesture that they thought no one used and re-introducing it, but eventually they just stopped caring. Cries from users went unheard, and the app just felt worse and worse to use.

I kept hearing people say “I’m moving to Apollo” in the comments, which caused me to look in to whatever an “Apollo” is. Boy, was I glad I did.

A consistent UI, changes and additions that were commonly disabled by default when added, and zero ads. It was exactly what I wanted.

Aaaand then Reddit killed it.

At least wefwef is helping me stay in denial here on lemmy.

I did let it thaw a bit first. I was in the same boat as you for a bit. Felt like I was eating a bread-flavored popsicle.

I’ll test the “no-shaming” rule a bit here by admitting some sins:

  • Once, I got a normal oven cheese pizza and added a different sauce per quadrant. Keep in mind, this is on a pizza that already has frozen pizza sauce. IIRC, the quadrants were BBQ sauce, Alfredo, Buffalo, and a fourth which I’ve forgotten. I ate the whole thing without a complaint.

  • A month or so ago, I was hungry in the middle of the night and wanted to eat a pizza. Unfortunately, the oven in our house is next to a room with people sleeping, so I couldn’t use it. Instead, I ate the frozen pizza unthawed like a goblin in my bed. Didn’t finish it, and regretted the experience after.

Voyager? I hardly knew ‘er!

Would be a good name change, but I’m fine with the current one too.

If you’re looking for a no-cook midnight snack, it works. I’d wash it off with warm water first, though.
