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.
I’m using wefwef.app and so far it’s like 90% of the way to an Apollo clone. Now we just need more users, communities, and content.
Tell all your friends! Wait, we’re all redditors. Shit…
Want to know what’s worse? According to The Verge, /u/iamthatis told them it was Reddit who pulled the plug earlier than planned.

Same dude. It didn't have got to me how to live without RIF, so I'm still treating it like a momentary shutdown

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.
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
Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.
Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
The end of an era
RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.

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

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.
What is information archival on the Fediverse like? Is there any advantage to Reddit?
Also if I understand last discussions, it’s not clear how well the Fediverse currently behaves with Google searches.
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!
BaconReader is out
10 years on it for me. Hope there's a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling
I was sleeping, I woke up, checked that my boy has been murdered, now I can’t sleep peacefully. It hurts.
pours one out 😢

RIP
RIP Apollo 💔
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.
RiF just went down as well
Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.

Sad day, hopefully I work out what I'm doing here..!
Sync too :(
Just checked, and yep - it crashes whenever I try to open it. Honestly, it feels sort of surreal to think that this day ever came.
R.I.P.
Baconreader is also gone. RSVP 🥓

Rest In Peace, Apollo. You were my favorite social media app. You may rest now. 😔
