Apollo - A beautiful app built for power and speed.

Since many of us are trying to avoid giving reddit any traffic, this space can be used to discuss Apollo, our dreams of seeing it join the Fediverse, and to give our appreciation to @christianselig@mastodon.social for his incredible work.

used this app during the ugly alpha Testflight days. Loved it and how responsive Christian was. When Pro came out I bought it and when Ultra came out I got lifetime.

Any lifetime members make the jump to Lemmy?

Anyone still using Reddit ? What app are you using? I’m on narwhal to check once a day for 5 minutes and I’m done.

Had Christian been able to figure out new pricing with the API, how do you think he would’ve handled Lifetime subscriptions? Create a Apollo 2.0 and say lifetime was only for lifetime of 1.0? Offer a legacy pricing / lifetime only perks to lifetime members?

Was an ultra lifetime member, now using Lemmy full time. No longer using Reddit regularly, we need to make Lemmy succeed or we’ll always be at the mercy of these corporations.

Have jumped to Lemmy

My tips:

  1. Use a browser to signup, save password etc. it might be slow as they are under strain from all the incoming reddit people

  2. Export your data from Apollo in .json and save to your phone

  3. Install wefwef (likely to be renamed at some stage)

https://wefwef.app/

  1. Import from Apollo export and match up communities.

  2. You can also search by going to your browser and home instance and click in on communities and searching. Make sure you set the feed to ALL

EDIT: If you cant get to the export (not sure what's going on with that now), and you can get to a computer you can see what you where subscribed to with this:

https://old.reddit.com/subreddits/mine/

Hopefully that helps somewhat.

Edit 2: If you are still trying to export from Apollo then start the app, click past the first screen and then shake the phone. You will get a menu to export.

Yep; it's named Voyager now. You can get it at https://vger.app

Epic domain name, too!

I don’t think it’s possible to export your json from Apollo anymore… 😞

[–] marcgordon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It’s still possible to export your data from Apollo:

  1. Open Apollo
  2. Shake your phone to bring up a menu
  3. Tap Export Local Data
  4. Tap JSON

I was a lifetime Ultra member as well. Haven't touched reddit since June 30 and am now regularly on Lemmy. Also, for some reason, I seldom commented on reddit, but here I am more actively participating!

If you have knowledge about sideloading or are willing to learn, you can still have Apollo running with your api key. I did it with mine and it’s been working well

My issue is I accidentally installed the latest version of Apollo. I don’t know the work around with the latest version.
