Reddit - Dive into anything

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.

    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.

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

    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.
