Some Redditors say they're walking away after Apollo app shuts down
Apollo founder Christian Selig said he's "heartbroken" about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit's API pricing changes.

Christian would be wise to start a Lemmy app. He would have a huge following right out the gate.
I think he’s gone on record as saying he’s just going to maintain Pixel Pals. That’s the one thing Reddit couldn’t take away from him, and I wish him all the success with it.
I genuinely wonder how much that takes in. I don’t like it since it’s subscription based and it doesn’t need to be. One time pay? Maybe.
So he’s gotta be pulling in a decent salary from an Apples Dynamic Island?
It feels like his client would need minor tweaking to get to be compatible with Lemmy and I’d pay a subscription to use it.
You probably already know about wefwef.app but I'm going to mention it here for anyone reading. It's cross-platform and already shockingly close to feeling like Apollo
Ive mentioned wefwef a few times. Great Apollo clone — I just do not like web apps.
I think he’s done relying on API beyond his control. Understandable. As federated and open as lemmy / kbin is right now, there is still a chance for a large company built a tiny wall around it. Like gmail has done with email.
