Apollo founder Christian Selig said he's "heartbroken" about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit's API pricing changes.

The official app sucks and so does the mobile site.

After BaconReader shut down, my reddit usage plummeted to near 0. Only used it the last few days to Google interview questions from my desktop.

Dumb question. I've been off reddit and here for about a month. Today 7-2 I opened my boost app and infinity app and noticed new posts. I thought all the api apps were shutting down 6-30?

I’m a part of that group. I see 24 people wish I’d kick rocks haha, I get it.

Look, I’m sure most of the refugees agree with me. If we don’t fit in we’ll leave.

So far I’m digging Lemmy. I wish it was more active, but if it’s gonna grow it will.

It broke my heart to leave Reddit after 15-16 years, but it’s not that same place any more any way.

So, hello fellow Apollo refugees.

I deleted my 11 year old account today, don't want to be a part of that community anymore.

Not long made the switch and so far I'm liking it. Subscribing to remote communities is more complicated than I think it needs to be but, meh, you only do it once. Fingers crossed it keeps growing, Reddit was fun for a good while but it's been heading downhill fast recently.

I am one of them, except I walked away weeks ago after the lies etc.

That’s what I dig. Deleted my reddit account and now am either on here onSquabbles. Fuck reddit

I couldn’t get use to Narwal and the official app wasn’t it. The ads weren’t as bad as the subreddits it kept recommending. It was too cluttered. Also I wasn’t aware how many things were Apollo only. Gif scrubbing seems like such a common sense thing.
