Christian, Apollo’s developer, has written a long post detailing how the talks have broken down, as well as going forward.

Also, it sounds like Reddit has been lying through their teeth about a bunch of stuff around timelines and smears they’ve publicly made about Christian, but Christian brought receipts and phone call records.

Hot damn that’s insane, shit is really going down. All a darned shame really, I guess nothing lasts forever and thank goodness for this option of Lemmy! Apollo is the app I used, it’s great and I love it. Hope Christian can make something for Lemmy, that would be awesome.

I am in the same boat. Do you have an app for Lemmy on iOS yet?

[-] JaymesRS@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Mlem is still in pretty early yet active development and missing a bunch of features or isn’t yet super intuitive, but there’s a test flight for it. I’ve been using it for a week or so now. https://join-lemmy.org/apps/

I've been trying to use Mlem, but it must be really early, because I can't wrap my head around it at all.

I’ve been using it for a week, and mostly understand it if you have questions.

Mlem is improving quickly. But I’m hoping lemmy can have reasonably comparable apps to Apollo someday (meaning similar UI; fewer features is okay)

Very sad news, that’s also why I’m here finally.

The good side is, that with reddit “gone”, a platform like this will get a large influx of users and the well-deserved spotlight. Scrolling all over lemmy I felt a child-like excitment of discovering something new and great, which is so rare these days.

Also, just because something doesn’t last forever, doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. We got to cherish Apollo and reddit for many years, now the time has come to make way for something new.

I use it too and it seems very early/limited still. Seems to work for comments and likes at least though.

I'm trying to use Mlem iOS app, but it is still in early development...
