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

Done with Reddit. Lemmy is the way

I’m certainly walking away for the most part, hopefully lemmy can become my daily scroller. That said though, I’ll definitely get on reddit again at some point. Its just too useful of a resource to never touch again. If I need some question answered and only reddit has it, I’m not gonna pass on it just to make a point that primarily hurts me. Other than that though, my primary reddit usage died with Apollo

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

Switch to lemmy and wefwef :)

In a way, I feel more free now - had an 11 year old reddit account and used Alien blue, then Apollo. I got so stagnant in consuming media that I ended up not contributing since everything I would’ve said had already been posted. But seeing the smaller growing communities across Lemmy makes me excited to actually contribute

This is not news. Please don't post these 'extremely slow news cycle' shit articles. Everyone who is here already knows this and has had it repeated to them ad absurdum.

This article is about as informative as 'Ted Cruz is a bad candidate' 'Random people are mad at rich folks' or 'water is wet'

Been on reddit for nearly 8 years (baconreader only), tragic really but it's been pushed into a direction I don't want to be involved with. Did the same with Facebook and haven't been back.

It'll go the same way other platforms have done before. Acting like they are irreplaceable when they are anything but.

Looking forward to being here and contributing to a growing community, get a good felling about here!

It’s the only reason I’m here checking out how this works.

Good for them, and I am one of them :3

I couldn’t get use to Narwal and the official app wasn’t it. The ads weren’t as bad as the subreddits it kept recommending. It was too cluttered. Also I wasn’t aware how many things were Apollo only. Gif scrubbing seems like such a common sense thing.
