Apollo founder Christian Selig said he's "heartbroken" about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit's API pricing changes.

The official app sucks and so does the mobile site.

After BaconReader shut down, my reddit usage plummeted to near 0. Only used it the last few days to Google interview questions from my desktop.

I'm done with Reddit. To me it's kinda a dead site except for the occasional old post I'll look at for info with uBlock Origin in Firefox.

I am one of them, except I walked away weeks ago after the lies etc.

Reddit was becoming complete trash. The only thing that kept me was Apollo because it had an awesome feature where I could filter out all the keywords I didn’t want to see. Well, Apollo is now gone, so I’m done with Reddit and have started using lemmy.

Judging from the slowdowns and hiccups around here, yeah, I'd say that was "some". And we're not done yet either. Plenty of people in the world party on friday and saturday. Plenty of people in the US are camping or something on an extended weekend.

Everyone checks it eventually as the week rolls on though. Kinda fortunate for us, really. Spreads the influx out.

That’s what I dig. Deleted my reddit account and now am either on here onSquabbles. Fuck reddit

[–] SudAnon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I stopped using reddit the second Apollo stopped working, and I don't think I've truly missed it once since then, I'm optimistic things will get far better with time as more people join lemmy.
