Apollo has been one of my most used apps the past couple years… it’ll be sad saying goodbye.

    What did you like about Apollo? I used ReddPlanet instead. I wasn’t going to pay for Apollo before I could figure out what I was getting and that I would like it. ReddPlanet had everything I wanted and payment was cosmetic and supporting lupeski.

      Apollo is similar! iirc the only “functional” feature locked beyond a paywall is submitting posts (which you could argue is a pretty big feature to lock away). But I think the majority of users rarely submit posts, and the “pro” tier was just a one-time $5 payment. I found Apollo very intuitive to use and very minimalistic; there was very little fluff to distract from posts and comments.

        To my recollection making posts was never locked behind a paywall - I used Apollo for most of its lifespan without paying for it, but did get Apollo Ultra eventually for notifications.

            Apparently I had Pro + Ultra, I don’t remember how long I had each for. Oh well. I really hope one of the big 3rd party app developers for Reddit turns an eye to Lemmy (or kbin) - this space has real potential and a well-designed app could smooth over some of the current weirdness about discovering other communities in other servers, but the apps are pretty rough.
