Let's hope @christianselig@mastodon.social will make an Apollo equivalent for Lemmy :)

Unfortunately i think he said it's too much work\he needs a break\hes not super interested. I was bummed ๐ (even though I'm on Android LOL)
This was a great watch. I was a Relay user and DBrady (the dev) has also been crunching the numbers to see what he'd have to charge to keep the app alive. Honestly as much as I love Relay and would gladly donate for all the hard work he's done, I don't want to pay Reddit a monthly fee for a crippled product (no NSFW).
I'm liking Lemmy so far but in it's current state it's definitely not the answer for the average user. It's sad to see Reddit digging it's feet in on this because as the Apollo dev said in that video, all they need to do is make the pricing realistic and give the full experience and that would be totally reasonable.
Current state, I think you're right, it's not yet ready, but there's a window between now and the TPA API change cutoff date that Lemmy and devs have to get Lemmy to a state that will be able to be good enough. We'll see if when everyone's Apollo/RIF apps stop working if Lemmy has smashed enough bugs and gotten enough apps to be mature enough to have figured it out...
