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 was in the middle of switching over to Lemmy. Honestly I'm really enjoying it so far.
I tried to use the official reddit app and it was horrible. So I'm trying out Lemmy. The look and feel on Lemmy mobile app (Jerboa) is so similar to Reddit is Fun.
Want to know what’s worse? According to The Verge, /u/iamthatis told them it was Reddit who pulled the plug earlier than planned.
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

RIF is as well. Sad times and stuff but I'm happy to be here instead.
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.
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
Oh this is awesome! I was wondering how I’d manage without the ol’ browser searches
Thanks for the suggestion!
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
Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
pours one out 😢
RIP
I was sleeping, I woke up, checked that my boy has been murdered, now I can’t sleep peacefully. It hurts.
RIP Apollo 💔
Rest In Peace, Apollo. You were my favorite social media app. You may rest now. 😔
Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.

That's my cue. Account of almost 13 years, deleted.
Now I'm like.. what to do? Should I just let go completely?
What then?
Baconreader is also gone. RSVP 🥓

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.
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.
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.
R.I.P.
