Sad day, I’ve been using Apollo for years 😭

It's a beautiful app. Disappointing it'll just go to waste rather than try to interface it with the Fediverse.

Has there been any official rationale for this? It seems like a waste. It can't be that hard to do, and while the fediverse may not be huge yet, most of its users are the type of power users it would clearly appeal to.

Probably doesn't feel motivated enough to rewrite the backend. Lemmy is still small and it's not 100% clear what will even happen when the main exodus occurs.

Plus he's got at least one other app he's advertising now.

Same. I returned to iPhone just so I could have it back awhile ago. Could never find anything as good on Android.
