My wife and I haven’t been back on since Apollo shutdown. I was/am so pissed about that shit. Fucking assholes.
I was on Apollo as well and then found this after looking at a few other thingees…
I’m trying both Avelon and Memmy as replacements for lemmy, and pretty happy with both so far. My Reddit account was 16+ years old when I dropped it because of Apollo. What a dumb decision.
I was using Memmy as my daily driver but I was getting frustrated with how fast it resets when I close and reopen it. Mlem stays where you were at. So far I like it better. The ecosystem of third party apps for lemmy is awesome, as well as the open source nature and attitude of it all.
My account was also 16 years. I’m holding out hope this place gets the interactions and niche topics over time. I don’t even like commenting right now but it’s worth the effort to help build it.
I‘m on Memmy as I type this but will give Mlem a try. Thank you!
Consider trying Bean and Thunder. They’re much better IMO.
That bean icon looks super… can’t quite put my finger on it…
Not only that, you can also change the app icon. There are lots of choices ranging from rainbow beans to cat beans.
Same here. No regrets, loving lemmy.
You can still use a custom build of Apollo and put your account API key in it by making an "app" in your account settings. The quality of the platform has dropped like a bowling ball down the empire state building though.
