To be fair I wouldn’t blame him for wanting to take a break for a bit after developing Apollo for so long. Would have to be so frustrating and sad to have a project you work so hard on torn from you.

Since many of us are trying to avoid giving reddit any traffic, this space can be used to discuss Apollo, our dreams of seeing it join the Fediverse, and to give our appreciation to @[email protected] for his incredible work.

Indeed - if something similar happened to me I’d loose hope on humanity. He immensely popularized Reddit on iOS and spez and Reddit admins treated him like POS.
Honestly, wefwef.app. Although a strange name is probably the closest thing I’ve found on Lemmy!
Memmy too scratches the Apollo itch for me. Extremely busy dev!
Found that Memmy scratched the Apollo itch best for me.
Really? I find it confusing in a way, wefwef is more clear to me in a sense. On Memmy I’m no t quite understanding if I’m seeing all the fediverse or only a portion. On wefwef I understand where I am more clearly
Memmy is OK.
But wefwef is an exact clone of Apollo…
I’ve been using the TestFlight ‘Mlem’
Both wefwef and Mlem have good features the other doesn’t so I’ve been using both lol
On a episode of The Talk Show, Christian said Lemmy and Kbin are too young and uncertain for him to invest this kind of work and dedication at this time. :~
I'm actually surprised he hasn't addressed any comments asking him to do a Lemmy app.
Checkout http://wefwef.app
Wefwef is amazing.
This is the first time I’ve felt Lemmy could be a viable replacement to Reddit for me.
Using this right now
Fills my Apollo fix.
Memmy is also a good option
Bean is by far the best Apollo-like client so far
Where can I try it out?
He mentioned that he’s on Twitter and Mastodon in his farewell post. Maybe he’ll create a 3rd party app for one of those?
Apollo for Lemmy would be great. I’d definitely pay money for it. For now, I’m trying wefwef. I love it so far.
