    I joined when Apollo went silent. Coincidentally, I’m wearing my Clipollo t-shirt as I type this.

      Ditto. I was an Alien Blue fan that jumped to Apollo then to Voyager once the APIs went down. I apparently have a type when it comes to Reddit and Lemmy apps.

        Same here. I had Alien Blue gold for the longest time too. Then Apollo saved the day and got so good. Reddit without it was useless ad garbage with a heavy slow UI. The fact it was so enshitified was the final nail in the coffin for me.

      Me as well! Unfortunately, I joined an instance that went dark (kbin), so I’ve got 2 lemmy cake days, I guess.

        I went from Reddit to Kbin to StarTrek.Website and when every action was taking >1 minute and needing to be repeated, switched again to Discuss.Online, which I am very happy with and remain to this day.

        Except I also switched to PieFed.social and use that 95% of the time now.:-)

        It’s been a bit of a wild ride! 🤣💪😺

      Didn’t we have like months of warning before the API shutdown? I recall I was already upset about a ton of other shit over there (had been for years) and as soon as I started hearing rumors or stories about the API fuckery, I headed to Lemmy way before the apps stopped working.

          I already wanted to do it anyway for a bunch of other reasons, so really they were doing me a favor by really providing additional motivation.
