Why don't makers of Apollo sync rif boost etc just make their own app. - Lemmy.world

They have big enough followings if they made their own app or even their own instance of a federated site they would be able to migrate most redditor.s.

I’m talking about their own reddit app. Without lemmy. For someone like christian from Apollo he already has a built in user base why not convert it to a social media platform.

I heard someone approached Christian with that idea already, but he is wasn’t really interested.

Setting up the whole ecosystem is hard - most of the app developers are very good with front-end and user experience, but setting up a robust, scalable backed is a completely different skill set.
