When Reddit killed Alien Blue, I downloaded Apollo on a whim. It has since become what I believe to be a sterling example of what an iOS app could and should be, in terms of UI/UX, and has been justifiably showcased by Apple themselves.
It’s sad to witness its death, but I’m incredibly thankful to Apollo’s dev, Christian Selig, for the work that he put into an app that I used for literally hundreds of hours.
I hope Lemmy can prove to be a viable alternative to Reddit. I’ve been enjoying it so far. Using it is reminding me of the earlier days of Reddit when it was seen as the “nerdy website with the ugly interface”.
I swapped Apollo with mlem and I miss Christian’s work so much. Really the pinnacle of a third-party client. I would love to see where he goes next, but I’d love to see an app for accessing Lemmy or Mastodon.
