When Reddit killed Alien Blue, I downloaded Apollo on a whim. It has since become what I believe to be a sterling example of what an iOS app could and should be, in terms of UI/UX, and has been justifiably showcased by Apple themselves.

It’s sad to witness its death, but I’m incredibly thankful to Apollo’s dev, Christian Selig, for the work that he put into an app that I used for literally hundreds of hours.

I hope Lemmy can prove to be a viable alternative to Reddit. I’ve been enjoying it so far. Using it is reminding me of the earlier days of Reddit when it was seen as the “nerdy website with the ugly interface”.

    Thanks for the links. Hope their development makes it easier for Lemmy to grow.

    That said, I personally prefer to use homescreen shortcuts to Safari on iOS to avoid having to download apps that can clog up my phone, use up its battery, etc.

    So the fact that I was happy to have Apollo installed on my phone really says a lot about how much I loved using it.
