Goodnight Apollo, my sweet prince.
Hello Memmy π«‘
You may have already seen this, but there is a web app for Lemmy that looks and functions very similar to Apollo:
Iβve been trying it today, and itβs pretty good.
Holy shit, the developer has put some serious work in. I didnβt know web apps could be that good. Thereβs some insane attention to detail going on here
Wow! It really does feel very similar to Apollo. It will undoubtedly make the transition easier.
Thanks!
π
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, itβs 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.
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 itβll save and operate as an app. Itβs a web app just a new build option that makes it easier for something to be accessible in multiple ways.
I think a lot of moderators are just going to back down and return to business-as-usual from tomorrow. Reddit will suffer as a business but this isn't going to downright kill the site. Unlike say... Tumblr or OnlyFans, Reddit has a far more diverse clientele and many of them couldn't give a shit about third-party apps.
These half-arsed protests staged after the 14th June have told me that most of Reddit's mods are fucking cowards who are more afraid of losing their status as internet janitors than all the third-party apps.
Reddit's moderators could have easily brought the site to its knees if they just collectively stopped enforcing rules (including site-wide ones), removed Automoderator, unbanned everybody, then told the community to just go nuts.
The mods of /r/interestingasfuck had the right idea by encouraging users to post NSFW content, since this would have chased away advertisers in droves.
I mean the whole "sexy pics of John Oliver" protest that /r/pics had isn't going to chase away advertisers and was something that Spez could easily ignore, but having your content displayed alongside a flood of explicit pornographic images definitely will.
I'd argue it will become like Facebook, with the younger and more intelligent crowd leaving the site.
Excuse me! I'm older and more intelligent, thank you very much.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Even as somebody who has never used, and will likely never need Apollo, I am really grateful for what he did. However unintentionally, I think he ripped the mask off how rotten the management structure was. It's one thing to sell ads and collect hidden metadata. Pretty much all the apps do it. But the whole way Reddit treated him was beyond despicable.
Agreed. When I saw the Apollo thread, my first thought was 'Nah, not even spez would do this' but I choked on that very fast when I saw the e-mails, the audio recordings and everything. It was so blatant, so asinine, so horribly fucked up.
I've never used the Apollo app, but millions of people did and in stead of thanking him for all his work, reddit just stabbed him in the back. Can't believe there are people still taking reddit's side on this, it's crazy.
Welcome, everyone! RIP Reddit Sync
Looking for a new home from Reddit; glad to be among friends!
Hello there, fellow refugees!
We here
I am doing my part!
Hello Lemmy.world
πβ€οΈ
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 :)
10+ yr rif user, bring it Lemmy
RiF is dead, and so is the vast majority of my Reddit participation.
Rest in peace beautiful RIF π₯ 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 π Having a bit of a giddy feeling in a good way myself π
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.
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.
Hey all. RiF brought me here. Leaving behind a 12 year Reddit account.
i kinda doubt that there will be hordes joining Lemmy. Most who cares already migrated
Reddit was RiF for me. I don't like Tildes so can't follow TalkLittle to his new app. What's everyone using for Lemmy? Jerboa started crashing with the latest updates, so I'm trying Connect for Lemmy. It's ok. Would like to give a few other apps a crack too.
What's his new app called? I wanna try out Tildes too
It's in development according to the RiF goodbye message. So no name yet. Will be interesting to see if it looks and feels like RiF.
Highly recommend purging / editing your comments before you go. I used PowerDeleteSuite for my main and alt accounts and it worked really well. If you've got thousands of comments and heaps of data it'll take ages, but it's an important step, leave them with nothing they can monetize
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.
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!
just got a 429 message from RiF. there it goes
was on til the last moments, RIP RiF, my most used app by far....
