Many popular third-party Reddit apps will be shutting down on Friday, including Apollo, RIF, Sync, and Boost, and fans of the apps are sending them off with heartfelt posts and memes.

When I heard about Apollo shutting down I toyed with the idea of using the Reddit app. Then I saw how spez handled the whole thing and realized I’m never going back.

So here I am taking the lemmy plunge. Wefwef is a godsend!

I hate the official Reddit app but I probably would have sucked it up and used it if they had handled this professionally.

Reddit can die the death its admins clearly so desperately want for it.

We will carry on without it

I tried out the official app yesterday. Uninstalled after 10 minutes. scrolling was terrible. It felt really laggy even after some changes. If RIF isn't available, I'm never going back. 10years 6months. Bye reddit
