Alien Blue is the pre-enshittification official Reddit app right?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It is and it was my go-to app for iOS. I was very excited when it got bought by Reddit because it was a really good app, but it slowly turned into shit over time. It didn't respect my subreddit subscriptions and it eventually showed more ads.

I didn't notice at first, but I decided to try out Apollo because people pointed out what's happening to the official app (formerly Alien Blue). I immediately felt the difference, so I uninstalled the official app. It's crazy how Reddit was able to turn it into an ad-fest sneakily.

The reddit official app also eat battery, that why i switch a few years back to apollo.

Yeah. Basically the proto-official app. Apollo was (allegedly) inspire by AlienBlue, but I’m not sure if that’s just a rumor or not. People called it the spiritual successor during Apollo’s whole run.

Do we have any news on if any of the popular 3rd Party developers are planning to make Lemmy apps? How interchangeable is the code? Will it be a case of starting from absolute scratch?
