RIF RIP
Deleted my account, deleted the app! My thumb keeps looking for it on my phone, though. Poor little thumb, probably misses his old simpsons shitposts
The muscle memory is so bad. I had to hide RedReader after I found myself subconsciously opening it over and over again. The toilet breaks are not the same…
I won’t be deleting it yet, they’ve got the accessibility exception for now.
The thumb thing is real. It’s like muscle memory every time I unlock my phone.
Sync is/was a fantastic app. One of the best designed and functioning Android apps I’ve used. Damn shame.
I just replaced Sync with Jerboa.
Same here, decent enough start for the app so far
Yeah, and the things that I’ve noticed as being broken are actively being worked on (you can just look at the GitHub commits and code reviews and follow along since it’s open source)
Yep sync is truly incredible, The fluidity of the app was truly something else
Agreed. I deleted Boost off of my phone, and because it’s early in the alphabet I’d open my App Drawer most times to get to it
Now I just muscle-memory open my calculator and look disappointed.
To account for muscle memory, I just created a folder where Reddit used to be, and made Lemmy the first entry. Good way to test multiple apps regularly.
The Sync dev has stated that Sync for Lemmy might become a thing one day, so there’s good news on that front.
I’d pay for that
Lets hope so ✌✌
Same, it’s been hard it’s like I’m in rehab. But in a way it’s great too. I’ve been doing other stuff. Like started learning to make video edit with Davinci. For all the Apex gameplay footages I’ve stored over the years.
You mean we don’t have simpson shitposting here? https://frinkiac.com/video/S05E03/QF76_L_CplCQuXur7Rqpj-nesvU=.gif
We do now! Simpsons shitposts-
but now we need futurama shitposts!
I’m ashamed with myself that I fell for it :(
I made my own, with blackjack and hookers, actually without the blackjack or the hookers, just the community.
Hey! This post is not specifically related to the lemmy.world instance. From now on, posts such as these will be removed, in order for the community to stay on topic. However, as this is a highly upvoted post, I’ll just lock it for now.
Pour one out for dark sky too man rip in peace 🪦
Yeah, to me, Apollo and Reddit went hand in hand. Without Apollo, no good Reddit.
Didn’t Reddit acquire Alien Blue and make it into the official app?
And absolutely ruined it, of course
Yea I remember at first everyone was so excited and then they decided to absolutely destroy what made that app good.
yes
Lmao I have the exact same folder on my phone!
Ok, why? Why not uninstall?
Ah, it can be nostalgic for some people
Personally a Reddit is Fun user, but sad to see them all go…
More new apps will eventually come
It’s really sad, but it’s also super exciting to be a part of something new! All of this reminds me of the old school internet with competitors and communities popping up here and there.
I didn’t realize how toxic and hostile Reddit actually was until I stopped using it and started interacting with the folks on here. I just hope it sticks around
RiP RiF
I’m also a rif user. Best thing was have my face subs and get notifications on new post so I don’t have to interact with reddit as much. See the post. Comment upvote read send boom in good. Lenny is awesome now
Still need that alert function on the app.
Although all this immature development is making me consider taking a stab at programming Social Networks again. Last effort was an app back in College to collate facebook, twitter, reddit, etc into one interface. Very clunky, held together by proverbial tape and crashed when there were non latin characters input. Still, that was fun.
Very sad!
I feel badly because I preferred the native app. I tried several 3P apps including Apollo but I never could get into it. I’m still here instead of Reddit because I don’t like the changes but i any case I feel a bit of guilt around it
I hereby order you to stop feeling guilty!
Life is too short to feel guilt over app preferences. And anyone who purposefully tries to make you feel guilty should go out and touch grass (as the youth say).
You damn youth, go touch somebody else’s grass!
touch. Touch. TOUCHTOUCHTOUCH!
“Dang kids! Get off my lawn!”
I have been using Infinity, which somehow is NOT planning on shutting down?? Yeah, I don’t see how that’s gonna work. Doesn’t matter, Reddit under Spaz is dead to me now.
I’ll miss Infinity. Jerboa just isn’t ad (edit: as) intuitive as Infinity, as nice as it is.
Yeah, I hope they make a version for Lemmy
Ive heard some rumors that it is possible to fake the app ID and/or useragent to make reddit servers think youre using their app.
I hope he will try that route just to fuck with them.
I did see something about that in the ReVanced subreddit and the Sync app.
Sounds like a short term solution, but it’s worth it just to cause Spaz some grief.
Yeah, I used Infinity too. Deleted my reddit account yesterday and uninstalled Infinity today.
I hope the Infinity developer finds a job…
Ye, last time I’ve they’re looking for a junior software dev position
Alien Blue is the pre-enshittification official Reddit app right?
Yeah. Basically the proto-official app. Apollo was (allegedly) inspire by AlienBlue, but I’m not sure if that’s just a rumor or not. People called it the spiritual successor during Apollo’s whole run.
It is and it was my go-to app for iOS. I was very excited when it got bought by Reddit because it was a really good app, but it slowly turned into shit over time. It didn’t respect my subreddit subscriptions and it eventually showed more ads.
I didn’t notice at first, but I decided to try out Apollo because people pointed out what’s happening to the official app (formerly Alien Blue). I immediately felt the difference, so I uninstalled the official app. It’s crazy how Reddit was able to turn it into an ad-fest sneakily.
The reddit official app also eat battery, that why i switch i few years back to apollo.
Has anyone tried Mlem yet, specifically with this server? Refuses to connect for me.
I use it with lemmy.world. Its promising, it still has a lot of crashes and some kinks that need to be ironed out and there are many features missing, but IIRC the team intends to come out with the 1.0 version by the time 3rd party apps shut down. That will probably feel more stable. Its looking good!!
Hasn’t been working for me either. Just says I logged in, then that it can’t connect.
Yeah same thing. Too bad

I am truly hoping Christian or u/lupeski come here and show their awesome talent off in the Fediverse!
Apollo for lemmy would be great, and it wouldn’t be too hard for Christian to rewrite it to work with lemmy. Heck, people have written proxies which proxy the reddit oauth API to lemmy, so it would be as easy as running one of those proxies and replacing a URL, really.
That’s over simplified. Even if they change the data source. Lemmy and reddit have different data structures and the UI would also have to be modified
definitely, but it’s good enough for a start, while he develops a more comprehensive application
The difference in data models and APIs, combined with the amount of features Apollo supported would likely make it a fairly large task.
But that aside, he mentioned in an article recently that he doesn’t have an appetite to pivot the app towards Lemmy or another third party: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759180/reddit-protest-private-apollo-christian-selig-subreddit

I’m aware, but there have been efforts to do this, which is what I was referring to:

aww that sucks :-/ maybe he should just put the code on github and release it as FOSS then if he doesn’t want to work on it
That would be awesome if it came to fruition! I am so proud of everybody who has brought the Fediverse this far, and that would ice the cake haha.
