Third party Reddit apps just got canned.
Third party Reddit apps just got canned.
Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝
Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.
As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it's basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. https://wefwef.app/
I didn’t know who Huffman, spez or the fact there was a bid to IPO until Apollo’s announcement of closure occurred. Why? Because I didn’t subscribe the Reddit’s main subreddits, I was very niche.
Once I learned about all that, I vowed if they didn’t reverse their standing and treatment of Christian, I was leaving.
Once the last week of June came and Spez triple-downed on his terrible business decision, I began using tools to destroy all of my content including topics I made that were all ranking #1 in Google, that causes plenty of PMs years after creation.
I’ve since deleted all but one account that I’ll probably hold onto just in case they decide to block my access to information I need.
I’ve deleted Apollo, Reddit’s official app and logged out on all browsers across all platforms I use. I’m done and liking WefWef as a replacement.
This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.
RedditSync checking in. Looking forward to the LemmySync app in development.
Let's go.
Reddit is dead to me anyways.
Sync refugee here, RIP Sync. I can't wait for Sync for Lemmy.
I'm dropping Reddit completely in a social aspect. I'll definitely be using it for the treasure trove of information it contains.
hopefully many more will still join lemmy in favor of reddit. For now many subs are still very sparsely populated compared to reddit.
For the empire.
A few last minute loopholes were carved in according to comments in this post
- some apps have gotten a temporary reprieve such as Narwhal
- Some apps have gotten an exception for access for visually impaired.
- the NSFW block is exempt for mods so if you start your own sub, you can still see all content or so it seems (I’m not quite sure because Narwhal still seems fully functional in this regard and I am not a mod)
Rip sync
Not just refugee but participating this round instead of lerking
I'm doing my part! (Starship Troopers plays)
Post from a helpful redditor on how to get back all 3rd party Reddit apps for now on Android!

For now it’s a haven for misfits and outlaws. And those who like decent UX.
Reddit refugee reporting in. Happy to be here.
I kept it simple. I installed this on my server: https://yams.media/
Does everything for me.Slide for reddit person here I hope they or someone makes slide for lemmy
Rip Apollo Fuck u/spez
Yeah switched to lemmy yesterday and currently finding it ok. I’m usually just on phone so it’s a little weird, but I’m here for the community XD
Infinity still working right?
Just an FYI - some apps are still working as of this moment... But yeah, most of us know it's only a matter of time.
Honestly, the content seems higher quality here. Perhaps the cesspools of Reddit were hard to spot for those of us who lurked there for over a decade.
Quality over quantity. Cheers to a new horizon, everyone.
I've been using RIF and old.reddit.com for as long as they existed. Reddit since the big Digg transition. Hope to never see the same happen to Lemmy!!
Now for Reddit also still works, though I've only launched it long enough to check a few times today... It's best to give reddit as little traffic as we can right now. That insufferable douch-weasle Spez needs to see Reddit's Fidelity value drop again.
A fall in traffic and engagement will at least alarm Reddit's internal staff. All the bad press may help as well, though... And enough people dropping off will also be noticeable.
Who knows, though... I like Lemmy better, so far. I'm not sure I'm even protesting at this point. I didn't even plan to actually fully leave reddit, but at this stage... This is nice.
I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority but it doesn't make sense why these elitists are so upset. It was bound to happen eventually. Then they say the official Reddit app is unusable? It's functional, it probably works better than half of the third party apps do anyway.
The only thing I'm upset about is the developers lost well earned money and their time and effort to make these apps only for them to shit the bed. But let's be real: nobody's really going to quit Reddit. I joined lemmy because I wanted a new social media app and I'm going to be using it alongside Reddit. Will I use Reddit more than lemmy? No, probably not. Will I use lemmy more than Reddit? Also no, probably not that either. I'll use them side by side.
It's kind of a shame that lemmy has mods though, from what I've been reading up on it, I thought it would be better than Reddit when it comes to freedom of speech. But just because it's "federated" doesn't mean you can't say whatever you want. It just means it's not owned by anyone in particular.
3k? I see 6.78K
