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 @christianselig@mastodon.social for his incredible work.

I see that WefWef says you can export your subscribed subreddits to it, but I don't get the option. Is it too late now, or can you use another service?

I bought the wallpapers, but while I’d like to store them all for later I really don’t want to manually click and download 27+*3 wallpapers (per device)

Anyone know of a good quick way to grab them all at once?

I’d been using Apollo since 2018 so it really became my favorite and most used app. I made a ringtone from the “Goodbye Apollo” song in GarageBand. A friend called me while I was in my local Apple Store and I cried with a random stranger when they heard it. Tears were definitely shared and flowing in that moment. Thank you to whoever created this place for us to share our experiences.

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!

used this app during the ugly alpha Testflight days. Loved it and how responsive Christian was. When Pro came out I bought it and when Ultra came out I got lifetime.

Any lifetime members make the jump to Lemmy?

Anyone still using Reddit ? What app are you using? I’m on narwhal to check once a day for 5 minutes and I’m done.

Had Christian been able to figure out new pricing with the API, how do you think he would’ve handled Lifetime subscriptions? Create a Apollo 2.0 and say lifetime was only for lifetime of 1.0? Offer a legacy pricing / lifetime only perks to lifetime members?

I really hope Christian can address this soon. Now that the settings in app are gone what happened to Chumbus Boop Button?! I’m worried.

For me it’s between Beans or No Space. I also wonder how chumbus is holding up.

Driving to a treatment appointment this morning realizing it’s the first I won’t have Apollo to pass the time with is sad. I tried to get Siri to play some relaxing music but because she is dumb she played “my way” by frank sinatra. Although it’s not what I wanted certain lines hit home.

Is there any way to still get the JSON file? Not seeing the settings tab anymore :(

They have a remix of “I will remember you” that I haven’t seen anyone on the internet talk about.

I’ve been refreshing Apollo every few hours just out of habit and disbelief that it’s actually gone just hoping it will magically come back. GG. RIP Apollo.

From Christian: “Well, looks like Reddit pulled the plug a little early. Apollo started crashing, but I just manually revoked my token and it looks like it fixes the crashing, but no more Reddit access haha. Those folks are fun to the very end! 😛”

I initially tried Lemmy and thought it was too complicated - until I tried it with the wefwef.app web app. It’s design is really similar to Apollo, and is quite responsive for being a web app. Definitely give it a try before giving up on Lemmy.

Bye Reddit.

I was just browsing Apollo for the last time when it closed on me and now won’t open. I guess this is it. Thanks for everything!

45
 
 

Christian your app will be sorely missed. Deleting my account tonight and going all in on lemmy. It’s been a great run!

That’s sad. I’m sad. RIP Apollo. Fuck Reddit. Fuck Spez.

Thank you Christian.

Replaced Apollo on my Home Screen with Memmy App.

Here’s to the future I guess?

Only a matter of hours left, I can’t see me using Reddit any more, so thought I’d give this Memmy App a go…

It didn’t seem to be working for me today, so I tried the web interface. I just couldn’t. It occurred to me that I didn’t love Reddit, I loved Apollo. Once it goes away for good I don’t think I can get used to any other way. I’ve always used Alien Blue or Apollo. Plus I don’t want to give them any more views at all until they change course to be more in line with what the community wants.

Anyway. Deleted it to remove the temptation to continue to browse until the end of the month.

Hello Lemmy!

Christian Lemmy needs Apollo. I am an ultra subscriber and would gladly pay again for an apollo version to browse Lemmy.

I know there are more than a few that agree with me!
