Remember the #Reddit Blackout of 2023? Reddark was a site that kept track of the status of subreddits, and it was honestly exciting to check in its heyday.

The last update before it stopped displaying info was mid-January 2024. Nearly all subs have gone back to their original status.

I miss #ApolloApp, stopped reading Reddit for a bit, but then begrudgingly switched to the official app. Over time, I got used to it, ads and all.

...

I'm part of the problem, aren't I?

@Gazimoff I quit reddit over the greed associated to the API changes and killing off of 3rd party apps (ahem, #apolloapp) Sadly I haven’t found anything remotely as useful. I can’t stomach Lemmy die to the dev politics and Kbin, while showing potential, is still to lacking in its content. Content for any of them will take time.

@ellane And how will you ever know if any company is a long term player in the cloud storage space? Answer: you can’t. The only sure thing is that you dropped cold hard cash on some online thing based on history, not a crystal ball. Which is the reason I didn’t drop $120 on Koofr despite the mostly good reviews. Tomorrow they could get bought out and cease operations.

I’m sure everyone that paid money for #ApolloApp can relate.

When I pay, I want a thing. And I don’t want to “rent” it either.

Biggest thing I miss since #ApolloApp shut down is my ‘happy place’ multireddit.

It was only stuff like cute or funny animals, art, photography, etc. And since content in #Reddit communities is (was?) moderated quite rigorously, I *knew* that it would only be happy stuff.

It was a great way to take a break from the world yet still scroll the internet. Sigh.

@BasementDweller3000 so far I think #Memmy is the best one out there, and probably the closest to a full App Store release. Currently it’s still in TestFlight, but I believe it’s in the approval process right now.

Alternatively, #wefwef is a great option too. It’s based off of the Reddit #ApolloApp and “installs” like you mentioned, by just adding it to your Home Screen, where it behaves like an app. You can find it at wefwef.app

@kylewritescode @CliffWade @AllThingsTech @ArtemisApp @hariette I know. I'm also seeing people starting to post screenshots of it. I understand it's "coming soon" but it's also not actually available *to me*, and I'm loathe to sign up to any system that has zero mobile clients for it. As I think we've all seen recently, the client plays a huge part in the experience. I did sign up for some kbin instance or other, but I don't even remember which one - fedio or something? - I've never logged into it since, and the only feddit-style thing I've even looked at is Lemmy (through the Memmy app).

I've happily returned to Reddit as of a couple days ago thanks to someone creating a tweak allowing #ApolloApp to use the user's custom API ID instead of it's own. Plenty of subs have reopened and the experience is still super solid even if the content is a little thinner than before. FWIW.

Just tried the “Artemis” tweak and it made it very easy to enter a new client API. Now once again browsing Reddit with Apollo. Works great.

Hopefully the next #ApolloApp release will actually have this functionality built in, little bit more useful than built in wallpapers and coffee mug merch links.

Jailbreakers have figured out a way to enable custom APIs to work with Apollo. Have to go back to a previous Apollo version because the annoying new versions don’t work with the method.

There’s a chunk of additional futzing around to get this to work and I haven’t done it (yet, or maybe never - since the official #Reddit app works perfectly fine) but here’s the tweak.
