A post to a news story about Apollo shutting down at the end of this month was already made, but I thought that the original post by the Apollo Dev was worth also citing. This is a VERY interesting read, though long. He also has audio recordings of all his dealings with Reddit of late.

    Hi, I’m one of those newbies. :) I figure why wait for the building to fall, get out while I still can. I would have never used the Reddit official app, but considered using it on browser still. Until I saw that too. And old.Reddit is very hard to read on mobile, and I’m 100% a mobile user. I hope with more users here more niche hobby spots will open up. :)

      Same here! Took me a minute to figure out Lemmy but it’s not bad. Using Mlem on iOS and excited for the future.

      Long time use of Apollo and just tried reddits app to see how bad it was…it sucks compared to all the Reddit apps I’ve used across iOS and Android.

        I’m liking the Fediverse, and enjoying Beehaw/Lemmy/etc. I’m still learning this new world, but I’m loving it so far!
