I wont forget how poorly Spez treated Christain Stelig

Y'all should check out Voyager for Lemmy. Very close look and feel.
The beta also supports PieFed

Fuck spez, Apollo was legendary, the api purge was when I quit Reddit.
Same, though I was a connect user. To think they could have made everyone way less angry if they just had an app that isn't dogshit

!piefed_meta@piefed.socialTheir icon is cute af, I hadn't seen it before lol

!piefed_meta@piefed.socialFor sure great app. He did get weirdly snippy about Voyager looking exactly like Apollo, but he was hurt at the time I suppose.

Do you have evidence for this claim?

Here's a few jabs he took at Voyager that I could find:

Not sure if there were more before too but the comments are kinda sad and bitter.... But he seemed great in every other regard

!piefed_meta@piefed.socialI've enjoyed being on Lemmy and almost never thinking about that jailbait-lovin, greedy, piece of shit billionaire.

I miss RiF. The jerboa app is a godsend for me on here and I will never go back to Reddit ever again...

Thatβs impossible, one of the core features of Apollo was that it was lightweight, no ads. Public for profit companies are unable to do that.

It's been that long I can't even remember what it did

I keep meaning to switch to Voyager from Sync, but I'm lazy and bad with change

It was comical how hard they shit the bed
Lets kill all 3rd party apps that address the issues in our app... without fixing those issues
Genius

I mean even ignoring ads, the ui for the official reddit app is an abject dumpster fire, and lacks core functionality like moderation tools
As much as I loath advertising, the ads really weren't the biggest issue with the official app
. The nonsensical tangled-web-of-spaghetti layout, dogshit ux, and inability to provide core functionality needed by some of its most vital users were
