    Apollo is one of the best clients out there(for IOS). They’ll probably lose lots of mobile traffic if they decide to do this.

      I would kill for Apollo to support a federated platform like this instead, and I hope he considers it. I use Apollo exclusively when accessing Reddit on mobile, and given the choice between it and literally anything else, I’d rather just stop using Reddit on my phone entirely lol
