Apollo - A beautiful app built for power and speed.

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.

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

What a great way to close this chapter. Just brilliant. Fuck /u/spez. You slimy, greedy pig boy. I will remember Apollo.

I will also remember Apollo! I am so pissed that that wonderful app is gone.

Forced me to try something new, at least. Trying to navigate the fediverse on Memmy right now.

RIP Apollo. You were wonderful.

I second wefwef. It’s 85%+ an Apollo clone.

Hey if you come from Apollo you have to try wefwef app, here’s the link https://wefwef.app/posts/lemmy.world/all

Let me know if you like it! It is very similar to Apollo experience

[–] Albinoss@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you for the recommendation! It is very similar. I’m digging Memmy right now but this may be more up my alley!

I’m on memmy too. I quite like it so far.

[–] Albinoss@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s very Apollo-like. It’s working well for me, but I’m still a little confused about finding communities, and I wish the place was a bit more active in general. But so far, I like it!

I exported the Apollo json (doesn’t seem to be an option anymore) which held the subs we were subbed to in it. I then created an account on we feed and imported the json there and it tried to connect me to the equivalent communities here. They aren’t as big and it wasn’t perfect, but it did the job… now I switched to Memmy. (Nothing against wefwef I just don’t like web apps).

I just noticed this.

I updated Apollo on both my phone and iPad before I could export! I was so bummed when I realized that!

I’ve been slowly adding in communities and recreating my Reddit experience.

After a couple updates, I think I’m preferring Memmy right now, as well.

Apparently you still can! Open Apollo and shake the device, you’ll get an option to export local data. Then you can put that export into Wefwef!

I wish I knew this before I deleted the app! There’s no way for me to log back in to get that info, unfortunately, but I hope someone else sees your comment and can benefit from it. Really good to know!

I saw. All of this is just awful. I remember when I first made a Reddit account after lurking for years, I immediately looked for an app and couldn’t find an official one. Apollo popped up though, and I’m glad it did, because I loved it.

I’m never deleting the app, though. I’ll leave it so I remember why I left Reddit.
