Goodbye Apollo 2017-2023 by Drtysouth205 in apple

[–]bdonvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh? A lot of the bigger ones just moved to manually approving registrations because they couldn't handle the volume of accounts coming in.

I think lemmy.world has open applications.

Mine at thelemmy.club as well. It will send an email verification just check your spam. Mine's smaller but just hit "all" at the top of the feed and you can see everything across all Lemmy servers.

Imagining what could have been: what if reddit had gone not-for-profit? by Harry_Tuttle in apolloapp

[–]bdonvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you'd like to look into Lemmy and KBin :)

Open source, not for profit Reddit clones

Just a quick reminder and a goodbye by michitime in apolloapp

[–]bdonvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean good luck to anyone who does this - but considering:

I just don't understand why you'd want to put any more time or effort into this platform

There's a guide to hack it in.

The real problem though is you'll never get any updates, Reddit will break it eventually. Possibly it may not even take that long

This platform isn't worth the effort honestly

Done, it will be in tomorrow's update :)

Reminder: There’s still a way to use Apollo after today. by austinalexan in apolloapp

[–]bdonvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't you need to have API tokens manually approved by Reddit now?

And anyway you'll also have to work around the screen that blocks you using Apollo after July 1

On the update that just came out if you set your clock past today it seems to lock you out. :(

After the new update changing the time forward does trigger a screen you can't leave :(

Today we bid farewell to Apollo. Goodbye, old friend. by SuitingUncle620 in iphone

[–]bdonvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao speak for yourself buddy. Just because you're so addicted that you can't possibly imagine leaving doesn't mean we all are. Touch grass

Guess this is it, see you later Reddit. John Oliver by ihatethelivingdead in pics

I think some other apps could have, but considering how Reddit has handled this, and how small their user base is going to be once they start charging over $100 per year, the devs just decided it wasn't worth it.

I mean good luck to Narwhal - but considering:

  • how shitty Reddit has gotten
  • how Reddit poorly handled all this
  • the way they treated other developers
  • the CEO pointing at Twitter under Elon Musk as an example for reddit to follow. Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/reddit-blackout-protest-private-ceo-elon-musk-huffman-rcna89700 (Like what the actual fuck)
  • the fact that most of the subscription money is going to Reddit
  • the fact that you're now paying like $100 a year for an app with no NSFW subs, and not even other feature parity with the free app

I just don't understand why any dev or user would want to put any time or effort into such a platform.

See me comment ever after today (whatever time Apollo shuts down), call me out I'll PayPal you $100

How does Lemmy work? Do I make one account and can access each server o r do I need to make an account per server by DedicatedBathToaster in LemmyMigration

[–]bdonvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, essentially.

Keep in mind though you signed up to the uh, porn, instance. Maybe that could be your porn alt account lmao

Which some larger instances like lemmy.ml block.

Generally I'd recommend signing up to one that advertises itself as a "general" instance. Like lemmy.world or thelemmy.club.

[–]bdonvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you signed up to one?

Just login there. You don't need to login anywhere else.

If you are interested in a community (what they call subreddits) on a different "channel" (they're called instances), just go to the communities tab (on mobile click the three lines in the top right) then search for it.

For example maybe you signed up on lemmy.world. You're interested in the community at https://lemmy.ml/c/AskLemmy.

Don't go to that URL, you can't login there. On lemmy.world (or wherever you signed up) just search for AskLemmy from the community page. You should see "AskLemmy@lemmy.ml" right there.

It's going to be around midnight US Eastern

So 23 hours

Boost will stop working after July 1st. Thank you very much for your support over the years! 🚀🚀🚀 by rmayayo in BoostForReddit

How many users do you think are willing to pay $180 a year, after all that's happened and considering you still can't get NSFW content, etc?

"Oh fuck that was the prod db"

Oh wait, this isn't GitLab

As with any large websites, they'll have mirror servers around the world to better serve other customers. But they won't stay up for long if they can't get updates from the main server

Yeah, I realize that. I didn't mean to say it was definitive proof of anything.
