@christianselig So sad to read. It was really one of my most used app on my phone, and it'll be heavily missed.
Leaving Apollo means leaving Reddit for me.
Take care !

@christianselig Man, this sucks. What are you going to do next?

@re_chief @christianselig How about a client for Lemmy, the Reddit alternative that’s part of the Fediverse? We have Mastodon clients from developers of former Twitter clients, so why not do the same with Reddit and Lemmy? 🤓

@gracjan @re_chief @christianselig

I read on a Lemmy thread that there are folks working on a reddit-compatible API for lemmy, which would mean next to no effort in migrating from reddit to Lemmy for existing apps, could be the start of something exciting!

@austinphilp That is fascinating. I didn’t hear about it.

@christianselig thank you for everything! Without your incredible app, Reddit will be a footnote in history. At least for me.

Wish you all the best for any future projects!

Show threadBrett ElliffJun 8, 2023
@christianselig I’m really sorry to hear that and I have been limiting my Apollo usage to save you API calls. I was hoping saner heads would prevail but that just is not how most American corporations work. I'm kind of glad I have been using Mastodon more than reddit latley but I will miss Apollo, the site is just not usable without IMO. I hope you do not stop developing apps, you do fantastic and passionate work! ❤️

@gatewayy Don’t. There’s no charge before he shuts off the app on June 30. Abuse Reddit and optionally follow the boycott June 12–14

God, Reddit corp. has been disgusting lately - especially towards you. They want the enterprise-level price but without providing the enterprise-level support.

In any case, thanks for the work making Reddit usable on my iPad. Hoping for a newer/better project, post-Apollo.
