Looks like theres a final surprise in the form of a song in Apollo now that it’s closed.

Can anyone identify the artist?

EDIT: someone managed to find it. From Christian’s YouTube page:

A fun parody of Sarah McLachlan's I Will Remember You performed by the incredible Zoe Wynns

Crazy to see my lemmy account at <1m old when my Reddit one is 15yrs 11mo…kinda bummed I’m all but resigned to moving on just short of my sweet 16.

Hope to see these federated services take off!

RIP Apollo

No worries brosef. You’re early-adopting yet again. Give it time, and you’ll be one of the legacy guys once again.

This is the way.

I never thought about that... I'll be proud to show off my account age in a few years

I'm sure Christian is taking some time off to lick his wounds and regroup, and I truly hope he's able to move forward. If he makes a Lemmy app, I'll definitely jump on it.

[-] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 7 points 1 year ago

If you’re not already try wefwef. I keep forgetting it’s not actually Apollo I’m using.

Hoping for the day Christian makes Apollo for Lemmy; I’d gladly pay for it

[-] GeneralStrike@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Check out wefwef.app! It feels just like Apollo and I’m loving it.

[-] Toxinflora@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

its a little laggy but it works for me

Image Transcription: Image with Text:


[The mascot icon for the app 'Apollo for Reddit', a small cartoon-style astronaut's head, is shown smiling in from of a pink heart, with two smaller hearts floating above it. There is a white volume icon in the upper right corner and white text below the icon. The image has a black background.]

Thank You

Apollo shut down on June 30th due to reddit making drastic and sudden increases to API pricing for developers.

It was an absolute honour to build Apollo for you all over the last 9 years, I loved every minute of it.

If you'd like to continue to support me, there's some options below!

Good human

Glad to know you guys are still around ^-^

Glad to know we're still remembered

Hey, I would like to help with this, but I want to make sure I do it right and do not repeat any already existing transcripts. It gives me something productive to do on my phone that is hopefully better for my mental health and helps my fellow humans.

Release Apollo app for Lemmy 🤷‍♀️

[-] unwinagainstable@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

Wefwef app feels like I’m on Apollo. I love it

[-] kamin@lemmy.kghorvath.com 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Decently surprised at how well it performs for a PWA.

[-] Dodgeit@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Yup, so far no complaints.

I've been bouncing around between Jebora, lift off, connect and wefwef. Think I'm leaning towards wefwef.

[-] c15co@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah agreed. The migration feature from Apollo to wefwef is great too!

[-] krische@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I must be too late to export? I only see the thank you notice in Apollo.

[-] unwinagainstable@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

You can still export from Apollo. Change the date on your device to before June 30 so that the Thank You screen doesn’t appear.

I hope that Christian will make an app for Lemmy! I think he'll take a break for a while to relax after dealing with reddit's bullshit.

There is void left by Apollo - that I don't think will be filled for a long time.

The amount of times I’ve opened the app due to muscle memory and seeing that screen…. Rip Apollo and fuck spez. I hope he steps on the pointiest of lego bricks.

[-] ThatGirlKylie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Wefwef is not bad for a web app that you can add to your Home Screen. Mlem is basically inspired by Apollo, seems easy to use. It’s in TestFlight so you’ll have to download that and then grab the link to the beta.

There is another one called memmy, but I can’t find a working TestFlight link for that one as it requires a code to download.

I'll miss Christian's community engagement. It was always so nice to see an engineer who loved his product. Hopefully we'll see him on the dark side;)

[-] avater@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

RIP Apollo and fuck you spez 🖕

[-] GordonShumway@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Apollo was such a lovely experience. I still hope that Christian will rise up and produce something for iOS. I still keep looking for it's icon on my iPad Pro's dock!

[-] Retro@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

I’d love to see Apollo rise from the ashes but I get how Christian must be feeling about the whole thing right now. Still, its legacy will live on. Standards have been set and I’m sure a lot of devs have taken inspiration from that.

I’m sad that Apollo is gone, but Memmy for Lemmy fills the hole left in my Home Screen just fine. The app has already progressed so far, it’s licensed under the GPL, and it has made my transition from Reddit to Lemmy flawless.

That's insane. The Parody is just Wow

[-] TheTechNerd@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Never used the app, tried it and thought it was great, but my use case for Reddit was too simple, so I stuck with the official app. Having said that, removing such option by Reddit was one of the main reasons that pushed me to this platform. It made me realize how much power these centerlised platforms have.

[-] chackl@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I will miss Apollo! I hope he makes a Lemmy client. Wefwef is the closest there is right now.

[-] DarthYodaX@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

RIP Apollo. You were good to me

[-] thehatfox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It’s been fun, Apollo will be missed. I hope Christian will have a go at a fediverse app in the future.

[-] ItsaB3AR@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

RIP Apollo 😢 Thank you Christian for so many years of a great app.

Lemmy seems to have the promise to be a better platform than Reddit could ever be, but it is bitter sweet.
