Goodnight Apollo, my sweet prince.
Hello Memmy 🫡
You may have already seen this, but there is a web app for Lemmy that looks and functions very similar to Apollo:
I’ve been trying it today, and it’s pretty good.
Holy shit, the developer has put some serious work in. I didn’t know web apps could be that good. There’s some insane attention to detail going on here
Damn… I hadn’t been paying attention and thought that was actually exclusively an iOS app when I’d seen it mentioned before… Looks interesting.
You can use it oN Android and feels ilegal, but ilegally awesome.
Nah, it’s for everyone.
And if you save it to your Home Screen as an app it feels really good to use.
Yes… This is what I learned and the reason for my comment. It looks very interesting as I said. Not bad at all.
Wefwef feels like home. I was using Apollo for years and this feels very natural
Wow! It really does feel very similar to Apollo. It will undoubtedly make the transition easier.
Thanks!
🙏

Incredible, and the dev keeps updating it like twice a day.
I’m also running a copy alongside my instance, thelemmy.club at app.thelemmy.club
I never was really fond of web apps but this is great.
Damn, that looks just like Apollo!
That’s the idea, but better because Fediverse>Reddit.
WTF! i been on lemmy for 2 weeks and this is my first time seeing this! Thanks
e: This is friggin amazing!
No prob, fam!
I’m just curious; why is it a web app and not something you can download? The black bar in the bottom of the screen makes it feel weird, also the fact that upvote/downvote colors are reversed. Other than that, it soothens my withdrawals from Apollo, and I think I’ll be using it a fair amount alongside Memmy (which feels nice, it’s not a 100% carbon copy, but familiar)
Click the share button and save it your home screen it’ll save and operate as an app. It’s a web app just a new build option that makes it easier for something to be accessible in multiple ways.
Didn’t the Apollo developer say that he was planning on porting his app to the fediverse?
No, some other apps have
I wonder how many people who didn’t understand Reddit that well and just used it to scroll r/aww just woke up to disabled third party apps one day and figure that Reddit went under. I have to imagine they lost less internet literate users.
Hiya Lemmy.world, another Reddit refugee here, pleased to join you fine folk.
10+ yr rif user, bring it Lemmy
10 years on RIF and Apollo… but this here feels great. Glad to have such a nice alternative without the baggage
RiF is dead, and so is the vast majority of my Reddit participation.
Looking for a new home from Reddit; glad to be among friends!
i kinda doubt that there will be hordes joining Lemmy. Most who cares already migrated
Rest in peace beautiful RIF 😥 10+ years went by quickly! Time for new adventures now with both old and hopefully new family at Lemmy!
11 years with reddit and RIF for me! I’m actually feeling a little rejuvenated being free from it and trying something new.
Yeah, I can understand that feeling 😊 Having a bit of a giddy feeling in a good way myself 😁
There goes RiF, so there goes me. Almost 12 years of Reddit, gone.
PSA: You can use browser scripts to securely delete your posts and comments. Don’t gift Reddit your content. Force search engines to scrub dead Reddit links from their results.
CYA REDDIT!! 8 year old account all deleted and everything I modded is handed down :)
Man, if you told me a couple months ago, that I would stop using Reddit, I wouldn’t believe you. I’ve been on it over a decade. It took Spez ONE MONTH to undo everything and make that a reality.
Fellow RIFugee here moving in to the Fediverse. After 8 years, the moment I opened RIF and could no longer refresh my feed, it felt like the end of a chapter of my life. With every ending comes with new beginnings, so here’s to Lemmy and the Fediverse!
One more day until Reddit Isn’t Fun… :(
It’s been a good run, but without RiF the site is worthless.
That being said, it paves the way for the Fediverse to grow, so rather than celebrating the end of an era, I’m enjoying the birth of a new one.
I crisis can be an opportunity.
It’s unlikely that reddit was the best site possible for us. We know how to improve it.
