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.
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.
You can use it oN Android and feels ilegal, but ilegally awesome.
Damn, that looks just like Apollo!
That’s the idea, but better because Fediverse>Reddit.
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.
Wefwef feels like home. I was using Apollo for years and this feels very natural
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
Voyager now… i know this thread us really old.
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.
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.
I just joined Lemmy today after uninstalling Reddit Is Fun. It was absolutely surreal just how much habit was in pulling out my phone and pressing the space where RIF used to be. Decided I’m kind of mostly done with Reddit other than quick information look ups on the website.
So here I am! First post! The only constant in life is change. Hello everyone, I hope we all get along! :)
I’m going to leave RIF right where it’s been on my home screen for the last decade, as a little memorial.
Hiya Lemmy.world, another Reddit refugee here, pleased to join you fine folk.
Over a decade lurking on reddit; never posted. Just made a lemmy account. I don’t need lemmy to be “the next big thing”… just need it to not be overrun by bots and astroturfing. Hopefully some of the smaller subs I visit move over.
Welcome, everyone! RIP Reddit Sync
RiF is dead, and so is the vast majority of my Reddit participation.
Holy shit this is about to be the top post for the instance, welcome, everyone who’s new!!! be sure to check the Communities page for World.
CYA REDDIT!! 8 year old account all deleted and everything I modded is handed down :)
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 😁
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
There goes RiF, so there goes me. Almost 12 years of Reddit, gone.

Looking for a new home from Reddit; glad to be among friends!
