Are you building an app for InsertRedditCompetitor? I am not.

There are other reddit “competitors” out there, but Lemmy/Kbin is the main one, so I wonder why he didn’t name drop it. It’s odd that he chooses to not pursue this or atleast make it easier for the community, considering he is very active on Mastodon. Perhaps he doesn’t see monetary value in creating Apollo for Lemmy since he already made millions off of Apollo and currently with Pixel Pals

https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/182v1it/_/kam3jaf/?context=1 Christian’s thoughts on open-sourcing Apollo (Not happening). Would’ve made it a whole lot easier to port Apollo to Lemmy, but we have many great alternatives now, so not a huge issue. Still, would’ve been useful for a lot of developers to see how he implemented some features.

Well he's not interested in implementing those in Lemmy nor opensourcing it so…
