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

I was shot down mid-scroll. Brutal.
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
I’m sad now :( I’ll be even sadder tommorow once it sinks in

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.

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
Me either. It's just gonna sit there on my phone, having a well earned rest. Sleep well RIF.
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”.
Install https://libredirect.github.io/ to not give them any money lol
On iOS I sideload Reddit+ with AltStore (no jailbreak needed). It gets rid of all the ads, promoted content and whatnot. Other than that, I also use Inoreader app with the RSS.

Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.
Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
Sync dead too.
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.
I've had a ton of issues with Jerboa, but thus far Connect for Lemmy is working well!
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!
BaconReader is out
10 years on it for me. Hope there's a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling
The end of an era

RIP
pours one out 😢
I was sleeping, I woke up, checked that my boy has been murdered, now I can’t sleep peacefully. It hurts.
Now I'm like.. what to do? Should I just let go completely?
What then?
R.I.P.
Somehow Relay is still working.
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.
Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.

Baconreader is also gone. RSVP 🥓

Sync just went down 😭🫡🎺
I just tried this WeWef web app and it’s pretty much identical to Apollo, in case anyone is looking for a lemmy equivalent.
Open in Safari and save to the homescreen as an app.
😢 End of an era.
Just checked, and yep - it crashes whenever I try to open it. Honestly, it feels sort of surreal to think that this day ever came.
Rest In Peace, Apollo. You were my favorite social media app. You may rest now. 😔
There goes my wallpapers! Jokes aside, it's been a fun time browsing Reddit on Apollo. Easily one of the most enjoyable, well-built app on iOS. So long my little astronaut.
RIP Apollo 💔
