I haven’t processed what it means yet. I’m still at the first stage of grief.

I was shot down mid-scroll. Brutal.
Holy crap... That is brutal.
I was in the middle of switching over to Lemmy. Honestly I'm really enjoying it so far.
I tried to use the official reddit app and it was horrible. So I'm trying out Lemmy. The look and feel on Lemmy mobile app (Jerboa) is so similar to Reddit is Fun.

Same dude. It didn't have got to me how to live without RIF, so I'm still treating it like a momentary shutdown
I’m sad now :( I’ll be even sadder tommorow once it sinks in

When this saga began, I didn't think I'd be struggling with such a sense of disconnect with the loss of an app of all things. However, I do feel that Christian's eulogy for Apollo helped, a gentle reminder to "smile because it happened". Here's to moving on.
I'll say here what I said there -
"This is like seeing someone steal the motorhome you've had tons of adventures and experiences in, and roll it over the edge of the Grand Canyon as you watch helplessly. It's not just the loss of your comfy, customized motorhome, it's all of the feelings and memories that are attached to it."
RIF is as well. Sad times and stuff but I'm happy to be here instead.
GOAT app. Don't have the heart to remove it from my phone
Me either. It's just gonna sit there on my phone, having a well earned rest. Sleep well RIF.
So at the moment my “workflow” is to completely stop accessing Reddit via mobile apps. I’ll still use Reddit via Google Searches because it remains important for finding key information.
I’m content playing with Lemmy as my main mobile “app”.
Install https://libredirect.github.io/ to not give them any money lol
On iOS I sideload Reddit+ with AltStore (no jailbreak needed). It gets rid of all the ads, promoted content and whatnot. Other than that, I also use Inoreader app with the RSS.

I feel like Lemmy will only grow from here.
So many old subs have popped up and become properly active.
There’s so much community knowledge on reddit, it’s kinda painful to see everyone deleting all their historical comments and posts.
I get it, but still that’s information presumably lost forever.

Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.
RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.
I've had a ton of issues with Jerboa, but thus far Connect for Lemmy is working well!
The end of an era
Sync dead too.
I just used it for the last time I think. But I think we are into only minutes left...
RIP
BaconReader is out
10 years on it for me. Hope there's a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling
pours one out 😢

I was sleeping, I woke up, checked that my boy has been murdered, now I can’t sleep peacefully. It hurts.
Somehow Relay is still working.

Now I'm like.. what to do? Should I just let go completely?
What then?
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!
Today Christian pushed an update so people could export their Pixel Pals to his other app. I don't think he thought Apollo would crash so I reckon he will push one final update soon.
Edit: nevermind, Apollo doesn't crash anymore.
Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.
