Many popular third-party Reddit apps will be shutting down on Friday, including Apollo, RIF, Sync, and Boost, and fans of the apps are sending them off with heartfelt posts and memes.
Apollo will always be Reddit for me. Sad to see it go this way 😢
I am properly sad about this whole ordeal. I suggested, defended, and praised Reddit to my friends and acquaintances, but that Reddit is dead today.
Funny enough, this is my first post on Lemmy
Long time Apollo user and I’ve just uninstalled it after many years… Started using WefWef now and it’s really close in the interface but it still doesn’t have the all power features. The 3rd party ecosystem of Lemmy is now really strong and it’s amazing to see apps getting updates daily.
Will there be a RIF for the fediverse?
Unfortunately no, the developer is making an app for Tildes instead, which is an invite-only forum.
Personally I quite like Jerboa, although it’s buggy if your instance isn’t on 0.18 (yours isn’t), and I also quite like https://wefwef.app, which you can install as a PWA.
