When Reddit killed Alien Blue, I downloaded Apollo on a whim. It has since become what I believe to be a sterling example of what an iOS app could and should be, in terms of UI/UX, and has been justifiably showcased by Apple themselves.

It’s sad to witness its death, but I’m incredibly thankful to Apollo’s dev, Christian Selig, for the work that he put into an app that I used for literally hundreds of hours.

I hope Lemmy can prove to be a viable alternative to Reddit. I’ve been enjoying it so far. Using it is reminding me of the earlier days of Reddit when it was seen as the “nerdy website with the ugly interface”.

    I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: While browsing lemmy, if you didn’t tell me I wasn’t on reddit, I would not know.

      This is true, and an important thing for me. If I browsed specific subs, I’d definitely be able to see the difference. But I used reddit for just browsing the popular/cool topics of the day. I did subscribe to subs but rarely specifically entered one and browsed its content. I basically just blocked subs I didn’t want and did it that way, so Lemmy isn’t that different for me
