Looks like Apollo is now dead boys and girls. Feels like having a loved one die

I haven’t processed what it means yet. I’m still at the first stage of grief.

I was shot down mid-scroll. Brutal.

[–] YouNaughtyMonsters@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

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.

Same dude. It didn't have got to me how to live without RIF, so I'm still treating it like a momentary shutdown

[–] Retirix_YT@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I’m sad now :( I’ll be even sadder tommorow once it sinks in

RIF is as well. Sad times and stuff but I'm happy to be here instead.

GOAT app. Don't have the heart to remove it from my phone

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.

[–] 70ms@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

I'll say here what I said there -

"This is like seeing someone steal the motorhome you've had tons of adventures and experiences in, and roll it over the edge of the Grand Canyon as you watch helplessly. It's not just the loss of your comfy, customized motorhome, it's all of the feelings and memories that are attached to it."

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”.

I feel like Lemmy will only grow from here.

So many old subs have popped up and become properly active.

I just used it for the last time I think. But I think we are into only minutes left...

RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.

[–] TeaEarlGrayHot@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

I've had a ton of issues with Jerboa, but thus far Connect for Lemmy is working well!

[–] Hungovah@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

The end of an era

[–] neardeaf@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!

[–] wreel@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] 6jarjar6@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

10 years on it for me. Hope there's a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling

[–] Rinesi@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.

I was sleeping, I woke up, checked that my boy has been murdered, now I can’t sleep peacefully. It hurts.

[–] Maffrow@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

pours one out 😢

[–] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Somehow Relay is still working.

[–] DuckGuy@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Today Christian pushed an update so people could export their Pixel Pals to his other app. I don't think he thought Apollo would crash so I reckon he will push one final update soon.

Edit: nevermind, Apollo doesn't crash anymore.

Now I'm like.. what to do? Should I just let go completely?

What then?

[–] ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Rest In Peace, Apollo. You were my favorite social media app. You may rest now. 😔
