I haven’t processed what it means yet. I’m still at the first stage of grief.

I was shot down mid-scroll. Brutal.
Holy crap... That is brutal.
Want to know what’s worse? According to The Verge, /u/iamthatis told them it was Reddit who pulled the plug earlier than planned.

ETA so far wefwef.app feels like a great Apollo clone. No push notifications on iOS (yet?) but I added it to my Home Screen and it’s great.
I was in the middle of switching over to Lemmy. Honestly I'm really enjoying it so far.
I tried to use the official reddit app and it was horrible. So I'm trying out Lemmy. The look and feel on Lemmy mobile app (Jerboa) is so similar to Reddit is Fun.
I’m using wefwef.app and so far it’s like 90% of the way to an Apollo clone. Now we just need more users, communities, and content.
Tell all your friends! Wait, we’re all redditors. Shit…
I’m sad now :( I’ll be even sadder tommorow once it sinks in
Same dude. It didn't have got to me how to live without RIF, so I'm still treating it like a momentary shutdown

When this saga began, I didn't think I'd be struggling with such a sense of disconnect with the loss of an app of all things. However, I do feel that Christian's eulogy for Apollo helped, a gentle reminder to "smile because it happened". Here's to moving on.
RIF is as well. Sad times and stuff but I'm happy to be here instead.
Sync dead too.
Just opened Sync because "I wanted to use it for one last time" and was hit with the 404... So sad to see a good app vanish like that...
But I'm glad we're getting Sync for Lemmy at the same time.
BaconReader is out
So at the moment my “workflow” is to completely stop accessing Reddit via mobile apps. I’ll still use Reddit via Google Searches because it remains important for finding key information.
I’m content playing with Lemmy as my main mobile “app”.
R.I.P.

Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!
The end of an era
RIP Apollo 💔
That's my cue. Account of almost 13 years, deleted.
I happened to join Reddit mere months before Apollo. All I knew was Apollo. I tried to view Reddit through alternate means, and it just doesn’t feel right.
Now I'm like.. what to do? Should I just let go completely?
What then?
RIP
Rest In Peace, Apollo. You were my favorite social media app. You may rest now. 😔

Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.
pours one out 😢
Same for rif. Just made this account about 20 minutes aggo. Been comething here and there. Fuck Steve Huffman. Everyone who reads this, dont be chickening back to reddit now. Lets make this comunity ours.
Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.

Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff

Someone on Reddit said “years of muscle memory gone,” which hit me hard. Apollo was Reddit for me for years, so depressing watching this play out.
