What Reddit client did you use before the API changes?

I didn’t even realize how long I’d been using Apollo until all this stuff happened. It’s been the only way I’ve used Reddit for five years. Not having access to it anymore really hurts. Christian did such a phenomenal job of making Apollo feel incredibly intuitive and customizable without feeling overly cluttered. I’m really going to miss spending my time lurking over there.

Reddit is probably already dead.

Maybe the posts that show up in /all differ from person to person? I don’t know. They don’t bother me too much, but depending on the day/time of day, I’ve seen a number of them come up back to back. I do enjoy a good meme so I happy to see that community thriving here.

To add on to that, I think the episodes and moments, especially in the second season, devoted to growing each character really help balance out the sheer chaos of the show. Watching them evolve and mature made me cry more than once this season. I can’t wait to do it again in season three.

It’s kind of wild how much of an impact a single app can have on us. But it makes sense. Apollo was so amazing because of how thoughtful Christian was about growing and expanding features. And because he was so responsive to what we wanted and asked for. I can’t think of another app I use where the developer interacts with the community of users to the extent Christian did. Which makes how Reddit and spez treated the situation a million times more disrespectful.

I don’t think it’s cheesy at all. At the end of the day, Reddit was a community of internet weirdos that I enjoyed being a part of and having to let that go after all this time is painful. But I’m excited to be a part of lemmy and to watch it grow as a community.
