I haven’t processed what it means yet. I’m still at the first stage of grief.

I was shot down mid-scroll. Brutal.
Holy crap... That is brutal.
Want to know what’s worse? According to The Verge, /u/iamthatis told them it was Reddit who pulled the plug earlier than planned.

I’m sad now :( I’ll be even sadder tommorow once it sinks in
Same dude. It didn't have got to me how to live without RIF, so I'm still treating it like a momentary shutdown

When this saga began, I didn't think I'd be struggling with such a sense of disconnect with the loss of an app of all things. However, I do feel that Christian's eulogy for Apollo helped, a gentle reminder to "smile because it happened". Here's to moving on.
I'll say here what I said there -
"This is like seeing someone steal the motorhome you've had tons of adventures and experiences in, and roll it over the edge of the Grand Canyon as you watch helplessly. It's not just the loss of your comfy, customized motorhome, it's all of the feelings and memories that are attached to it."
RIF is as well. Sad times and stuff but I'm happy to be here instead.
So at the moment my “workflow” is to completely stop accessing Reddit via mobile apps. I’ll still use Reddit via Google Searches because it remains important for finding key information.
I’m content playing with Lemmy as my main mobile “app”.
Install https://libredirect.github.io/ to not give them any money lol
Oh this is awesome! I was wondering how I’d manage without the ol’ browser searches
Is Teddit and Libreddit going to keep working through this?
Old.reddit would not show comments anymore. It will direct you to reddit.
So I believe they might stop working at any moment.
Thanks for the suggestion!
There’s so much community knowledge on reddit, it’s kinda painful to see everyone deleting all their historical comments and posts.
I get it, but still that’s information presumably lost forever.
What is information archival on the Fediverse like? Is there any advantage to Reddit?
Also if I understand last discussions, it’s not clear how well the Fediverse currently behaves with Google searches.

RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.

Yeah… instant crashing. It’s a weird feeling.
Yup. It’s done. No more. Wow…. Well HELLLOOOOOOO LEMMMMINGS!!!!
The end of an era
Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
BaconReader is out
10 years on it for me. Hope there's a Lemmy app or theme etc to replicate the feeling
RIP

pours one out 😢
I was sleeping, I woke up, checked that my boy has been murdered, now I can’t sleep peacefully. It hurts.
Sad days, friends. Sad days, indeed.

RIP Apollo 💔

Rest In Peace, Apollo. You were my favorite social media app. You may rest now. 😔
RiF just went down as well
Now I'm like.. what to do? Should I just let go completely?
What then?
Somehow Relay is still working.
Sad day, hopefully I work out what I'm doing here..!
That's my cue. Account of almost 13 years, deleted.
Sync just went down 😭🫡🎺
Just checked, and yep - it crashes whenever I try to open it. Honestly, it feels sort of surreal to think that this day ever came.
Today Christian pushed an update so people could export their Pixel Pals to his other app. I don't think he thought Apollo would crash so I reckon he will push one final update soon.
Edit: nevermind, Apollo doesn't crash anymore.
