Third party Reddit apps just got canned.

Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.

No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.

I’m using WefWef.app for Lemmy and it’s awesome.

It’s a straight-up Apollo clone as a web app.

I am floored.

It's time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!

As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it's basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. https://wefwef.app/

Y'all are missing the real tragedy of this situation. This api fiasco means the end of RTV, reddit terminal viewer, the world's finest TTY compatible reddit client. The days of reading reddit on an electronic typewriter are over.

Apollo refugee here. Wefwef and Lemmy are very nice :)

Sync refugee here, RIP Sync. I can't wait for Sync for Lemmy.

This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.

Let's go.

Reddit is dead to me anyways.

Can't wait for more Reddit refugees

Rip sync

Fuck Reddit and the bootlickers all over the site now. Enjoy brown nosing spez as you scroll through ads on the shitty official app

Using the wefwef app is just like using Apollo, good clone

Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.

Digg refuge reporting in.

I'm dropping Reddit completely in a social aspect. I'll definitely be using it for the treasure trove of information it contains.

Boost refugee reporting in! Can't wait for the boost app for lemmy!

A few last minute loopholes were carved in according to comments in this post

• some apps have gotten a temporary reprieve such as Narwhal
• Some apps have gotten an exception for access for visually impaired.
• the NSFW block is exempt for mods so if you start your own sub, you can still see all content or so it seems (I’m not quite sure because Narwhal still seems fully functional in this regard and I am not a mod)

Godspeed all my fellow Apollo Astronauts searching for a new home. May you all find safe ground here

Permanently Deleted

Former RIFer here.

I didn’t know who Huffman, spez or the fact there was a bid to IPO until Apollo’s announcement of closure occurred. Why? Because I didn’t subscribe the Reddit’s main subreddits, I was very niche.

Once I learned about all that, I vowed if they didn’t reverse their standing and treatment of Christian, I was leaving.

Once the last week of June came and Spez triple-downed on his terrible business decision, I began using tools to destroy all of my content including topics I made that were all ranking #1 in Google, that causes plenty of PMs years after creation.

I’ve since deleted all but one account that I’ll probably hold onto just in case they decide to block my access to information I need.

I’ve deleted Apollo, Reddit’s official app and logged out on all browsers across all platforms I use. I’m done and liking WefWef as a replacement.

It’s been a very chill and peaceful switch, once I get used to the change I plan on helping any way I can to help the community grow. We can rebuild together 🖖

RedditSync checking in. Looking forward to the LemmySync app in development.

Rip Apollo Fuck u/spez

RIP boost.

Can see clearly, this server is much slower than yesterday, like if thousands of users are switching here

Infinity for reddit user here, as much as I love the app, and the work the developer has done on it, and even though the app will continue on a subscription based model, I have had it with reddit, full fediverse citizen from now on

Yeah switched to lemmy yesterday and currently finding it ok. I’m usually just on phone so it’s a little weird, but I’m here for the community XD

i prefer reddit UI, but, there is no way im going back to reddit

Just an FYI - some apps are still working as of this moment... But yeah, most of us know it's only a matter of time.

Honestly, the content seems higher quality here. Perhaps the cesspools of Reddit were hard to spot for those of us who lurked there for over a decade.

Quality over quantity. Cheers to a new horizon, everyone.

Sync is out but infinity still works, Ill probably use both Reddit and Lemmy and see which app I stop using but so far what an easy switch. It's quite relaxed at the moment.

Infinity still working right?

I've been using RIF and old.reddit.com for as long as they existed. Reddit since the big Digg transition. Hope to never see the same happen to Lemmy!!

I was on Reddit for 13 years. I've been using sync for as long as I knew there was a mobile app. Lemmy seems really relaxed and I'm looking forward to it!

The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.

Well that's that I guess. No more Reddit on my phone.

Any lemmy client suggestion ? For Android

Relay for Reddit is at least comming with a subscription model but to be quite honest I think I'll start using Lemmy much more.

Never really posted on reddit, but enjoyed scrolling on Apollo to while away the time. Sad to see it go, but excited to see what Lemmy has in store.

got my data takeout request from reddit just in time

ran powerdelete suite to delete everything

it took almost 3 weeks to process the data takeout request, that means it is computationally expensive, everyone should ask for it to send a signal

Guys, Connect for Lemmy is really good on Android.

Let's go. I just really do wish this social platform does not get taken over by corporate greed or becomes a political right/left platform.

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority but it doesn't make sense why these elitists are so upset. It was bound to happen eventually. Then they say the official Reddit app is unusable? It's functional, it probably works better than half of the third party apps do anyway.

The only thing I'm upset about is the developers lost well earned money and their time and effort to make these apps only for them to shit the bed. But let's be real: nobody's really going to quit Reddit. I joined lemmy because I wanted a new social media app and I'm going to be using it alongside Reddit. Will I use Reddit more than lemmy? No, probably not. Will I use lemmy more than Reddit? Also no, probably not that either. I'll use them side by side.

It's kind of a shame that lemmy has mods though, from what I've been reading up on it, I thought it would be better than Reddit when it comes to freedom of speech. But just because it's "federated" doesn't mean you can't say whatever you want. It just means it's not owned by anyone in particular.

3k? I see 6.78K
