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

    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.

      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.”

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

    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”.

      Just opened Sync because “I wanted to use it for one last time” and was hit with the 404… So sad to see a good app vanish like that…

      But I’m glad we’re getting Sync for Lemmy at the same time.
