Apollo… I miss Apollo. Voyager is nice but I still miss Apollo.
Do you still miss Apollo? Considering how far Mlem and Voyager have come.
I’m actually using Arctic. To me, it has all the features I liked, including community grouping. But yes, I still mill Apollo, I miss the Reddit communities in a good app. I may also just be nostalgia.
I didn’t know they had that feature! Interesting!
They call it multi-community
It’s at least possible to sideload Apollo and use your own API key for it.
Wait… what?
EXPLAINNNNN!!
Too bad the article only mentions apps migrating to Lemmy as a single line in a huge article. Would have been nice to hear about the transition process.
Its like they went out of their way to not mention Sync, Boost, and the other apps that pivoted. One little sentence that I missed on first read through is all they get.
Interestingly, Narwhal remained open ahead of Narwhal 2’s release without users having to pay anything. I asked Harrison in June how that was possible, but he said he couldn’t explain due to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Reddit. I asked again for this story, and Harrison said he couldn’t provide full details but noted, “Reddit was willing to work with me so that I could transition the app to subscriptions in a reasonable timeframe, especially considering it’s not my full-time job.”
That is interesting given all the shit Spez gave Christian about just this issue with respect to Apollo.
Same with RIF and hell half the other apps. Dude straight up didn’t want to work with anyone.
I believe part of the difference between the two apps is Apollo had yearly subscriptions users which Reddit didn’t seem to want to accommodate for, so he would have been on the hook paying for those users. While Narwhal just had a ad unlock making it easier to move to version 2 with a subscription.
Ctrl+F “lemmy”, only 2 occurences, that’s sad.
And they’re both in the same sentence.
