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

I used Now for Reddit for years. Was a great app. Somehow it's still working. Must not be big enough for Reddit to kill.

Reddit? Now here's a blast from the past! Is that thing still around? I've not been there since Sync died.

I have, for now at least. Reddit is a hard habbit to break, and maybe lemmy is just feeding that same habbit but it's an interesting time.

Good for them, and I am one of them :3

Been on reddit for nearly 8 years (baconreader only), tragic really but it's been pushed into a direction I don't want to be involved with. Did the same with Facebook and haven't been back.

It'll go the same way other platforms have done before. Acting like they are irreplaceable when they are anything but.

Looking forward to being here and contributing to a growing community, get a good felling about here!

To me third party apps is what made Reddit special. Now Reddit is just another social media platform, so I’m staying far away.

I’m enjoying pixel pals though, and I recommend others give it a go too

I haven't willingly been back since the 12th. Shithead CEOs aren't going to profit off my contributions. If everyone did the same it would evaporate overnight
