MODERATORS
Same here.
Same, though I was a connect user. To think they could have made everyone way less angry if they just had an app that isn't dogshit 😅

I miss RiF. The jerboa app is a godsend for me on here and I will never go back to Reddit ever again...
It was comical how hard they shit the bed
Lets kill all 3rd party apps that address the issues in our app... without fixing those issues
Genius
Woaahhhh, who could have done this???? Why is there a bullet hole in my foot???
He says, gun in hand.
That’s impossible, one of the core features of Apollo was that it was lightweight, no ads. Public for profit companies are unable to do that.
I mean even ignoring ads, the ui for the official reddit app is an abject dumpster fire, and lacks core functionality like moderation tools
As much as I loath advertising, the ads really weren't the biggest issue with the official app 😅. The nonsensical tangled-web-of-spaghetti layout, dogshit ux, and inability to provide core functionality needed by some of its most vital users were
Your templates get more exotic every day
One’s gotta be creative 😉
Y'all should check out Voyager for Lemmy. Very close look and feel.
That’s what I’m using! It’s great. Definitely has that Apollo feel.
The beta also supports PieFed
Piefed support works on stable.
I just tried and it didn’t work. iOS here. :/
Can't speak for iOS, but hello from Voyager stable on Android & piefed.zip!
It’s still in testing on iOS, I believe (I’m on the test version, and have a piefed account I use it with)
It’s still needing work, though, like if you refresh your feed it forgets viewed and hidden posts, makes everything show as new again. It works, but not super well.
Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to see how it works when it’s fully released! Cheers!
I keep meaning to switch to Voyager from Sync, but I'm lazy and bad with change
This dude sucks at 🧱
By building I mean by reporting bugs, donating and supporting the developers.
For sure great app. He did get weirdly snippy about Voyager looking exactly like Apollo, but he was hurt at the time I suppose.
Do you have evidence for this claim?
Here's a few jabs he took at Voyager that I could find:

Not sure if there were more before too but the comments are kinda sad and bitter.... But he seemed great in every other regard 🤷
Thanks for sharing!
I've enjoyed being on Lemmy and almost never thinking about that jailbait-lovin, greedy, piece of shit billionaire.
I miss Baconreader, another refugee from the API purge here
Any features in particular you still miss?
It's been that long I can't even remember what it did
Their icon is cute af, I hadn't seen it before lol
