I’m really glad I’ve stopped actively using Reddit. The day Apollo shut down was my last day on the platform. Sure if a search result leads to a Reddit post I’ll still go, but long gone are the days of mindless scrolling through r/all. Probably has significantly improved my mental health too.

Same here

I used Apollo for BARELY under a year and I loved it. Still Reddit has great search results for games I play like no man’s sky, gta, planetside to a lesser degree. But ask a question in your search engine of choice and slap Reddit on the end you’ll probably get exactly what your looking for

I really hope lemmy gets that far someday
