Deleted my account and deleted some of the content I had on there. I didn’t have a big account anyway and mainly lurked.

The writing is on the wall. I don't want to boiled slowly like a frog. Merely tolerating the disrespect from the CEO of Reddit is not a long term solution. I bet old.reddit.com is next on the chopping block for sure. For me I just bit the bullet and decided to move away now than eventual future.
I’m one of those
I do not understand how there is no mention of the fediverse.
Dumb question. I've been off reddit and here for about a month. Today 7-2 I opened my boost app and infinity app and noticed new posts. I thought all the api apps were shutting down 6-30?
Infinity's dev said the app would still be usable for sometimes until a new update pass it into a subscription plan.
Thank you for your reply. So infinity will continue to support reddit until further notice?
Thank you. I haven't been on there for a month I was just curious. Am using wefwef now and love it. I hope to see the Lemmy community grow so there is more to enjoy like Reddit has been for the last 10 years for me. I'm going to miss it as a resource but I'll be ok. Happy 4th.
You're welcome ! Been on reddit for like 6 or 7 years maybe ? But just a big lurkers, I find Lemmy and smaller instance a good opportunity to invest yourself more in the community as there isn't a lot of users (for now). Happy 4th too !
There is no Reddit without Apollo for me. I can't stand the changes Reddit has made over the years, so I'm fine to leave.

Why is it always Apollo? There were tons of amazing third party apps. This was just another one that seems to be iphone exclusive, which who cares about iOS anyways.
It's not really about Apollo specifically. Or people refusing to use a Reddit without the Apollo app
Reddit is the site it is because of third-party assistance. The communities were all built and have been maintained for free by volunteer moderators for almost 20 years. Developers liked Reddit and contributed apps that made it useful. Reddit is fun, Automoderator, moderator toolkit, apollo, praw, etc etc. Imgur was created so that people could post images to Reddit and easily link them.
I quit reddit because of the company's two-faced approach to the people who have done the most work to make this site successful. The shitty behavior is nothing new, but I think that openly telling third-party developers and moderators to go fuck themselves was just a breaking point for a lot of people.

Christian would be wise to start a Lemmy app. He would have a huge following right out the gate.
I’m here too having signed up this morning. I am still hoping for a good iOS mobile experience. Either way I’m here for the long run. I’m done with Reddit.
An iOS app (Mlem) is currently under development. If you want to be an early adopter, you can test it already. I guess it will be available in the app store sooner or later.
