The gloomy sentiment around Reddit Inc. has failed to dissipate after its shares fell 50% from a February high, with volatile technology stocks under pressure.

That’s actually the main reason most left, Lemmy has never seen a bigger increase in MAU before or after the death of 3rd party apps.

Not to say the other stuff isn’t important, but for me Reddit WAS Apollo. Without it, it didn’t even feel like the same service. Enough people felt the same about their preferred apps that they left en masse in 2023.

yep, reddit was RIF as far as i'm concerned. if RIF is dead then so is reddit

Sync for me, but same. Plus I didn't like their attitude.

[–] JWBananas@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Complete with intermittent abandonment, just like the old days.

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yep, same here.

I was just opening the browser in safari when I still used Reddit after they got rid of 3rd party. Fuck em both ways but fuck em extra for wanting mic and camera access permissions

I was one of those. Happily discovered Voyager. I go back, usually when a search link takes me there.

The mobile app is designed by people who I only imagine get paid by the bulk number of raw clicks/taps on UI elements.

Yup, for me it's Sync. And Sync is doing a decent enough job of bringing me Lemmy content.

i still use sync for reddit as well, you can patch it with revanced

[–] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Meh, fuck Reddit.

For me Reddit was Alien Blue. It all went downhill after Reddit bought it and then stopped updating it.

There was never an app that had such a great UI for iPad. Apollo never introduced a two column Split View like it.

Narwhal had one, but was a bit meh otherwise.
