Apollo - A beautiful app built for power and speed.

Since many of us are trying to avoid giving reddit any traffic, this space can be used to discuss Apollo, our dreams of seeing it join the Fediverse, and to give our appreciation to @[email protected] for his incredible work.

To be fair I wouldn’t blame him for wanting to take a break for a bit after developing Apollo for so long. Would have to be so frustrating and sad to have a project you work so hard on torn from you.

Indeed - if something similar happened to me I’d loose hope on humanity. He immensely popularized Reddit on iOS and spez and Reddit admins treated him like POS.

On a episode of The Talk Show, Christian said Lemmy and Kbin are too young and uncertain for him to invest this kind of work and dedication at this time. :~

Honestly, wefwef.app. Although a strange name is probably the closest thing I’ve found on Lemmy!

Memmy too scratches the Apollo itch for me. Extremely busy dev!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Found that Memmy scratched the Apollo itch best for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Memmy is OK.

But wefwef is an exact clone of Apollo…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Really? I find it confusing in a way, wefwef is more clear to me in a sense. On Memmy I’m no t quite understanding if I’m seeing all the fediverse or only a portion. On wefwef I understand where I am more clearly

I’ve been using the TestFlight ‘Mlem’

Both wefwef and Mlem have good features the other doesn’t so I’ve been using both lol

Apollo for Lemmy would be great. I’d definitely pay money for it. For now, I’m trying wefwef. I love it so far.

He mentioned that he’s on Twitter and Mastodon in his farewell post. Maybe he’ll create a 3rd party app for one of those?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn’t Twitter already fuck over TPAs?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Yup, you’re right I wasn’t even thinking about that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm actually surprised he hasn't addressed any comments asking him to do a Lemmy app.

Wefwef is amazing.

This is the first time I’ve felt Lemmy could be a viable replacement to Reddit for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same, using it for the first time today and could easily get used to this!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes!

I now feel motivated to start contributing to Lemmy communities. This all feels viable for the first time.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Using this right now

Fills my Apollo fix.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Memmy is also a good option

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bean is by far the best Apollo-like client so far

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Where can I try it out?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He has on occasion, especially early on.

He stated that he has no interest in doing so for now.
