Apollo was already a nice app so why didn't reddit just buy apollo and integrate ads into it and just keep the features that made everyone happy.

    At some point, the apps here will be as good or better than Apollo. Give it time.

    Just a few things to keep an eye out for:

    memmy is in very, very, very early Beta and incorporates Apollo's gestures and scroll style. It's missing pretty much every feature. However - scrolling, voting and commenting is a breeze and there's a lot of potential.

    mlem is also in very early beta and has several developers working on it. My understanding is there's a goal for a 6/30 App Store release to coincide with the 3rd Party Kill date for Reddit.

    The famed RIF Developer is working on a Tildes app that federates with Lemmy. It will be available on iOS and Android.
