Apollo founder Christian Selig said he's "heartbroken" about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit's API pricing changes.

Let's be realistic here, there's very little chance that a significant portion of users migrate out. It's cool. We don't have to obsess about our ex.

Done with Reddit. Lemmy is the way

Why is it always Apollo? There were tons of amazing third party apps. This was just another one that seems to be iphone exclusive, which who cares about iOS anyways.

There seems to be quite a fan club. I used RIF and Boost. All apps except the official were good.

Memmy has been giving me Apollo vibes and has made the transition way easier

used to use reddit sync.. deleted my reddit account now. shame, it was a really active site, but this is a good equivalent and it won't get spezzed or eloned. I can just move server if I feel like it.

Same here. But fortunately LJ is working on a Sync for Lemmy, excited for that. I use Connect for Lemmy right now which has a similar UI

I deleted my 12 year 100k account at 11:59p Friday night. Had redact edit every old comment then delete them and closed the account. Some of my Google searches are still landing me over there. I don't even know what it would take to put me there permanently, again. I'm just hoping I can cultivate my experience here, enough, so that I won't have to find out.

Same here.. i just quit cold turkey after ~15 years. I just tell myself I can do it again. I pinned the lemmy to my phone so it feels like RIF, just has less content. Thats why we are here though.

Judging from the slowdowns and hiccups around here, yeah, I'd say that was "some". And we're not done yet either. Plenty of people in the world party on friday and saturday. Plenty of people in the US are camping or something on an extended weekend.

Everyone checks it eventually as the week rolls on though. Kinda fortunate for us, really. Spreads the influx out.

Do you know if there are usage stats posted somewhere? I would like to see how much people joins in the upcoming weeks.

[–] NicolaeEast@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've seen a few stats posted throughout the day. Around 6hrs ago I saw just lemmy.world activity had risen 40% since yesterday.

I'm one of the new ones so I don't know where stats came from tho.
