Just replaced the spot where Apollo was on my phone homescreen with a shortcut to Lemmy
When Reddit killed Alien Blue, I downloaded Apollo on a whim. It has since become what I believe to be a sterling example of what an iOS app could and should be, in terms of UI/UX, and has been justifiably showcased by Apple themselves.
It's sad to witness its death, but I'm incredibly thankful to Apollo's dev, Christian Selig, for the work that he put into an app that I used for literally hundreds of hours.
I hope Lemmy can prove to be a viable alternative to Reddit. I've been enjoying it so far. Using it is reminding me of the earlier days of Reddit when it was seen as the "nerdy website with the ugly interface".
Same. I got Apollo to try it before it died. Ended up being being the best experience for me. No more he gets us ads. Now I’m happy to be a part of Lemmys next chapter.
