    Memmy with the Apollo-inspired Sunset theme has been giving me a nice same-but-different vibe. That said, if Christian enters the Lemmy arena I’d happily support him.

    Would have been helpful if Lemmy had been advertised very strongly from Apollo near the end to get people moving across here. Feels like a missed opportunity.

    I have mentioned it before and got no answer on the Apollo Reddit board

    Someone did tell me that he thinks Lemmy is too new and would like to see where it goes as a platform. That’s here-say though

        The things is… having Christian sign on and port Apollo over would be a pretty good way to ensure Lemmy’s survival.

            He needs to seriously consider his next professional move. His entire lifeline was kicked out from under him.

            Lemmy is too small for him to reasonably capitalize on. So I’m not surprised he is in a wait-and-see mode on that one.

    He said he’s not interested in building a new Apollo-like app in an interview with The Verge.

    It’s hard for me to build another thing. If it just evaporated again, it would be like a double breakup. This has been so exhausting for the last few months. The amount of work it would take to port all the API endpoints over to Lemmy or Kbin or something, that would be a gargantuan amount of work that I’m not sure I have the capacity for. Source

    For the time being, there’s wefwef. But that feels like a band-aid, rather than a temporary solution. I miss Christian and his shenanigans
