Many popular third-party Reddit apps will be shutting down on Friday, including Apollo, RIF, Sync, and Boost, and fans of the apps are sending them off with heartfelt posts and memes.
Long time Apollo user and I’ve just uninstalled it after many years…
Started using WefWef now and it’s really close in the interface but it still doesn’t have the all power features. The 3rd party ecosystem of Lemmy is now really strong and it’s amazing to see apps getting updates daily.
Same. Apollo was Reddit as far as I’m concerned. Too much valuable information on Reddit for me to stop using it entirely, but I won’t be on there regularly like I was with Apollo. The official Reddit app just isn’t as refined as Apollo was.
When I heard about Apollo shutting down I toyed with the idea of using the Reddit app. Then I saw how spez handled the whole thing and realized I’m never going back.
So here I am taking the lemmy plunge. Wefwef is a godsend!
I tried out the official app yesterday. Uninstalled after 10 minutes. scrolling was terrible. It felt really laggy even after some changes. If RIF isn't available, I'm never going back. 10years 6months. Bye reddit
I’m properly sad about this whole ordeal. I praised, suggested, and even defended Reddit to anyone I know because I felt we aligned in the spirit of community. That Reddit died today.
Unfortunately no, the developer is making an app for Tildes instead, which is an invite-only forum.
Personally I quite like Jerboa, although it's buggy if your instance isn't on 0.18 (yours isn't), and I also quite like https://wefwef.app, which you can install as a PWA.
