Goodnight Apollo, my sweet prince.

Hello Memmy 🫡

[-] garretble@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You may have already seen this, but there is a web app for Lemmy that looks and functions very similar to Apollo:

https://wefwef.app/

I’ve been trying it today, and it’s pretty good.

[-] fer0n@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] cod@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Wefwef feels like home. I was using Apollo for years and this feels very natural

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.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Lukecis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I hope Reddit fully dies off- that site is a cesspool and deserves to meet a fate similar to tumblr & myspace.

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.

[-] AmbiNine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hiya Lemmy.world, another Reddit refugee here, pleased to join you fine folk.

[-] Clbull@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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.

[-] Haha@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

CYA REDDIT!! 8 year old account all deleted and everything I modded is handed down :)

[-] Fireinthesky7@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

RiF is dead, and so is the vast majority of my Reddit participation.

[-] von_zyl0@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

10+ yr rif user, bring it Lemmy

[-] anthimatter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Can't be worse than what Musk just did.

[-] Zibani@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Spez: Challenge Accepted.

[-] Sterben@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ye, but is it a different website? And at least Twitter original app was half decent.

Those API changes will be the death of Reddit. When I glanced at RIF today in my app list and remembered it was offline, that brought me here finally. I held out hope that Spez wouldn't stand his ground but he did and now here we are. And this is my first post here, first of many. I hope this place thrives.

Sure hope things take off here. Fuck reddit.

[-] PastorHaggis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I realized that at work today, I didn't even check reddit at all beyond my initial opening of it. Checked Lemmy the rest of the day.

That and did actual work because everything was fucked at work but that's beside the point.

[-] Tigerfishy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I love how my subscribed are all in one list now, as opposed to have to select each one...other than that however, I honestly wouldn't want to change much else. Somehow it makes it easier to explore. Reddit made it too easy to set in ritual...or it seems I'm hitting more topics here anyway

[-] Dragontre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hey all. RiF brought me here. Leaving behind a 12 year Reddit account.

[-] MooseBoys@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'll add the obligatory farewell to RIF - "the app I was happy to pay for". This seems like an interesting alternative - I hope the back end is up for it! I won't be going back to Reddit on principle.

[-] TheVampireSaga@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] DoZzeRr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I hope Lemmy will be successful, and maintain healthy communities.

[-] aetrix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Welcome, everyone! RIP Reddit Sync

[-] Olabanderou@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Rest in peace beautiful RIF 😥 10+ years went by quickly! Time for new adventures now with both old and hopefully new family at Lemmy!

[-] HalfJack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

11 years with reddit and RIF for me! I'm actually feeling a little rejuvenated being free from it and trying something new.

[-] Olabanderou@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I can understand that feeling 😊 Having a bit of a giddy feeling in a good way myself 😁

[-] CreativeCider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

10 years on RIF and Apollo... but this here feels great. Glad to have such a nice alternative without the baggage
