I didn’t even realize how long I’d been using Apollo until all this stuff happened. It’s been the only way I’ve used Reddit for five years. Not having access to it anymore really hurts. Christian did such a phenomenal job of making Apollo feel incredibly intuitive and customizable without feeling overly cluttered. I’m really going to miss spending my time lurking over there.

Have you tried wefwef? It’s pretty much Apollo for lemmy

[–] strangepagan@geddit.social 6 points 1 year ago

I haven’t!

Originally? AlienBlue. It was the best, but then they killed it, so I went to Apollo.

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

They bought it first and then killed it so that they could present their own BS β€œofficial” app.

Yeah it's been many years but I remember trying the official reddit app and it simply didnt work. I installed rif and it was perfect. I used rif for many years. Countless hours just scrolling my carefully curated subs.

So sad. When I launched it and it gave me an error that day the api changes kicked in, it felt like a friend just died.

Snif.

I think the fediverse might just be ok tho. These networks taking off right now are thanks to spez. Lol.

Sync on android and Apollo on iOS, both were sublime in their own way.

Currently using Memmy on iOS for lemmy, but I have about a dozen other apps installed since I’ve been trying all of them

Checking in! Can't wait for boost for lemmy!

[–] Granixo@feddit.cl 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I used the official app, but i decided to quit because of all the API debacle.

So now i use Jerboa for Lemmy.

[–] gizmonicus@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, same here. Th API changes had 0 effect on me, but corporate money grabs that involve restricted access and screwing the community is a big no no for me.

[–] soupspoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I used the web browser and really loved Reddit, but the way they screwed everyone over was too much to put up with. So glad I found out about Lemmy before I left!

RIF was fun for reddit

[–] SeatBeeSate@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

RiF for nearly 10 years. And is sorely missed.

Joey, I would gladly use Joey again if they hosted Lemmy

Sync because I had huge preference for apps that followed MD3/Material You. I wish it had an inline comment editor for replying in the middle of threads, that was my only missing feature. Slide did the inline editor nicely.

This falls under #4 - it's very similar to other Reddit discussions and I feel like we're just looking back rather than forward.

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Me, having never used a reddit app, just the web UI (which, as you can imagine, made me as a mobile user hate reddit more and more over time) ...

Wow, didn't there were so many apps. No wonder you were all upset at the API changes!

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alien Blue, then Sync.

Cannot wait for Sync for Lemmy

Apollo. Everyone in my house did. Two have stopped using reddit entirely, I'm still checking on a couple of communities until their counterparts take off here. I'm using Dystopia there now because I'll never, ever download their shitty app.

[–] amenotef@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Infinity as my main, Boost as my second one. Reddit once per year to check if it was getting better or still a shit.

Relay, great app

[–] Knightfall@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used Sync for Reddit. The dev seems close to releasing the beta of Sync for Lemmy.

Connect for Lemmy has been a very nice alternative, especially after the most recent update. I might be torn once Sync is out.

Slide, except for moderating a couple of specific subs where I needed the bullshit that's only available via the official crapp
