The Apollo dev banned and removed all my comments suggesting Lemmy as an alternative to reddit.
(lemmy.ml)
I usually don't get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I'm on their side.
well, I saw your comment and made it here, so at least one happy customer was served.
Kind of short-sighted by Christian to do this. He could put up an instance, make an Apollo update (not trivial) and migrate a bunch of users onto Lemmy. Getting a decent percentage of Apollo users over here would be good for a producer of a popular app based client. I'd wager operating his own instance would end up being cheaper than Reddit's API fees. He could even benefit from donations to keep his servers running.
Everybody wins in this hypothetical, magical, free business idea.
Sweet, glad to have you.
I don't mind the ban too much as I don't use reddit often, but it's probably indicative that the developer plans to stay with reddit. Our door is always open to him if he changes his mind tho.
glad to find you! I’m still kicking the tires but this looks like a great effort so far. Well done!
Thanks! Glad to have you!
