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”.

    Swapped Infinity for Jerboa. I applaud the Infinity devs, and the devs of every reddit client that actually put some effort in to a good user experience rather than what reddit want users to trawl through and generate profits. Unfortunately the latter want to corkscrew more control and profits so now users and devs alike are getting screwed.

    Maybe for the best. Explore the Fediverse.
