This. Like the apps are still there functioning. I uninstalled Boost and Apollo as my thumb kept clicking on them...
god it's terrifying and so true. I didn't realize how addicated I was to apollo until muscle memory just kept clicking the damn app!
I'm surprised at how quick I flipped my addiction from Reddit to Lemmy..
I spend just as much time here as I did there. But its a happier time too.
with some of the kinks of lemmy i dont think im spending as much time as i was on reddit
but i am spending a decent amount and thats been awesome. i do think the more old school vibe is really effecting how i wanna connect here. its maybe less time but more quality
people have been really nice
im sure that will change at somepoint if our dreams become reality but its been a unique exp if nothing else.
It's kinda making me want to less of a dick. It's what the internet has turned me into since 2012. 1996-2011 was a good run though lol.
LOL i feel that for sure
def has that fresh, non jaded vibe so that helps
I'm gonna miss Boost so bad.
Hope the dev either releases the code or implements kafkars. I would really like to just continue using boost with lemmy
I keep suddenly finding myself using boost a few times daily when the instance I'm on goes down.
Out of curiosity, which app was your preference between the two? I'm on android, so I never used Apollo, but tbh when I saw it I hated looking at it. I was surprised to learn it was the number one app. Did it have better features or something?
It was pretty similar tbh. I liked both. I got an Android phone and an iPad sooo... Had no choice :)
Apollo is a bit heavier on the sliding gestures. Swipe right to upvote. Swipe aaalll the way right to downvote. Left to share, all the way left to favorite... People really liked this. I don't mind it. Maybe cause I was on iPad? Like arrows are fine :)
The only feature Apollo had that I was missing in Boost was the scrubbing on gifs and videos. You could replay in slow-mo, pause or even go faster with such ease. It was really really nice.
I ended up having to rearrange my phone layout slightly, putting Mlem (how Iβm accessing Lemmy) where I used to have Apollo. I did the same thing with Ivory (Mastodon) taking Twitterβs spot too
Had to remove RIF, my muscle memory was like yooo. I don't even want to use it knowing it's closing shop.
