It’s been a while since I attended Gamescom. But I can completely understand why they are dodging the Gamescom. Only the announcement of a complete new Zelda or 3D Mario could be interesting but everyone is waiting for news regarding Switch 2.

Using your email address as username is a common problem for a lot of users.

Some of them are even completely shocked that they can use a different password and don’t understand, that their mail is just their login credentials for this specific site.

The feature “login with Apple/Google/Facebook” exists for a reason.

As a native App it felt of course more smooth and everything was more polished. But the whole UI is exactly like Apollo, still missing some QOL features (like favorite communities).

There were a lot of features which you would never ask for in the beginning but when you’re used to it, they are great. For example: You want to share some reddit content with friends who don’t use reddit? Here, take the native video downloader and just share the video and not a link. Or you could share a thread/comment as a big vertical screenshot, so your friends could read it on their mobile device.

Yeah I did and currently I’m switching between wefwef and Memmy. I have to say that I’m positively shocked how fast those Apps developed in the last two weeks.

Maybe I would like to see the original Apollo App, because I used it for years and it’s more about the emotional bonding.

I bought the wallpapers to support Christian and had a really emotional evening.

When the blackout started I joined Lemmy and started to stop using Reddit to show my support by not producing any traffic.

On the last day I opened up apollo again and it was so terrifying, knowing the way I used Reddit for years will be gone. I used PDS but will wait with the deletion of my accounts to be safe that Reddit doesn’t restore my comments.

I still keep my fingers crossed that Christian will make an Apollo App for Lemmy, but I can totally understand the he got other things to do.

Just remember, he got called out from Spez and one of his income sources just disappeared because a business partner just wanted to fuck him up. I hope his friends and family will be there for him.

BTW: Made a little fan icon. Just for the dreams.

A lot of users will stay, but some left. I hope they will be enough to replace the content machine Reddit with the fediverse.
