Apollo has ceased working
Apollo has ceased working
Looks like Apollo is now dead boys and girls. Feels like having a loved one die

I haven’t processed what it means yet. I’m still at the first stage of grief.
-
I was shot down mid-scroll. Brutal.
-
Holy crap... That is brutal.
-
-
I’m sad now :( I’ll be even sadder tommorow once it sinks in
-
Same dude. It didn't have got to me how to live without RIF, so I'm still treating it like a momentary shutdown

When this saga began, I didn't think I'd be struggling with such a sense of disconnect with the loss of an app of all things. However, I do feel that Christian's eulogy for Apollo helped, a gentle reminder to "smile because it happened". Here's to moving on.

I'll say here what I said there -
"This is like seeing someone steal the motorhome you've had tons of adventures and experiences in, and roll it over the edge of the Grand Canyon as you watch helplessly. It's not just the loss of your comfy, customized motorhome, it's all of the feelings and memories that are attached to it."

RIF is as well. Sad times and stuff but I'm happy to be here instead.
-
GOAT app. Don't have the heart to remove it from my phone
-
Me either. It's just gonna sit there on my phone, having a well earned rest. Sleep well RIF.

So at the moment my “workflow” is to completely stop accessing Reddit via mobile apps. I’ll still use Reddit via Google Searches because it remains important for finding key information.
I’m content playing with Lemmy as my main mobile “app”.
-
Install https://libredirect.github.io/ to not give them any money lol
-
There’s so much community knowledge on reddit, it’s kinda painful to see everyone deleting all their historical comments and posts.
I get it, but still that’s information presumably lost forever.
-
What is information archival on the Fediverse like? Is there any advantage to Reddit?
Also if I understand last discussions, it’s not clear how well the Fediverse currently behaves with Google searches.

Sync dead too.
-
Just opened Sync because "I wanted to use it for one last time" and was hit with the 404... So sad to see a good app vanish like that...
But I'm glad we're getting Sync for Lemmy at the same time.
-
I just used it for the last time I think. But I think we are into only minutes left...
-
-
Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.
-
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!
-
The end of an era
-
RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.
-
I've had a ton of issues with Jerboa, but thus far Connect for Lemmy is working well!
-
-
BaconReader is out
-
10 years on it for me. Hope there's a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling
-
-
pours one out 😢
-
Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
-
RIP
-
RIP Apollo 💔
-
I was sleeping, I woke up, checked that my boy has been murdered, now I can’t sleep peacefully. It hurts.
-
Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.
<Bone Thugs N’ Harmony singing *Crossroads* intensifies>
-
Rest In Peace, Apollo. You were my favorite social media app. You may rest now. 😔
-
Wefwef

End of an era. Apollo joins Alien Blue in app heaven. RIP.
My 12 year old account has joined them there. It looks like my time on Reddit is over.
-
R.I.P.
-
There goes my wallpapers! Jokes aside, it's been a fun time browsing Reddit on Apollo. Easily one of the most enjoyable, well-built app on iOS. So long my little astronaut.
-
Just checked, and yep - it crashes whenever I try to open it. Honestly, it feels sort of surreal to think that this day ever came.
-
Same for rif. Just made this account about 20 minutes aggo. Been comething here and there. Fuck Steve Huffman. Everyone who reads this, dont be chickening back to reddit now. Lets make this comunity ours.
-
Someone on Reddit said “years of muscle memory gone,” which hit me hard. Apollo was Reddit for me for years, so depressing watching this play out.
-
Check out wefwef.app
-
-
Now I'm like.. what to do? Should I just let go completely?
What then?

Baconreader is also gone. RSVP 🥓
-
That's my cue. Account of almost 13 years, deleted.
-
For what it’s worth, wefwef (wefwef.app) feels a little like Apollo and has made me moving over here a bit easier…
-
It’s still in beta but mlem seems to be basically copying Apollo. It’s a marine app instead of a web app. Missing some important features at the moment but worth keeping an eye on.
