He mentioned it in his “Apollo will close down on June 30th” post on /r/ApolloApp (I’m linking it here, but here’s the quote so you don’t have to gift Reddit your traffic):

Will you build a competitor? Move to one of the existing alternatives?

I’ve received so many messages of kind people offering to work with me to build a competitor to Reddit, and while I’m very flattered, that’s not something I’m interested in doing. I’m a product guy, I like building fun apps for people to use, and I’m just not personally interested in something more managerial.

These last several months have also been incredibly exhausting and mentally draining, I don’t have it in me to engage in something so enormous.

I know Christian mentioned he wouldn’t port Apollo to Lemmy, but I haven’t given up hope just yet!

I doubt manufacturers would want to put millions upon millions into research and development if they’d have to open source it all anyways.

I’d actually love if companies/products/software went back to forums and other specialized means to get support. I hate when they refer to Reddit or worse, Discord.

I used Apollo. Now I’m only using it to check whether Christian Selig commented on anything, but nothing more than that.

I plan to nuke my last remaining Reddit account on June 30th.

This version is constantly freezing up for me. I click two buttons only for it to freeze for 10 seconds.

So what’s faster? A Core 7 or a Core Ultra 5?

We had a lot of fun with V Rising. It’s a bit like Diablo I’d say, but with base building and crafting and the level is based entirely on gear, so if someone misses a few sessions you can just craft one extra set of the latest armor you unlocked and they are on your level instantly.

I like smaller smartphones (say, the iPhone 12/13 mini), but 3 inches is a bit too tiny for modern mobile apps if you ask me.

Same-screen, but: PlateUp!

It’s nice if you already have GFN, but I wouldn’t say it’s a killer feature, as you can already stream Game Pass games with xCloud at no additional cost anyways, right?

In case of Diablo IV in my opinion Blizzard has a good track record of keeping game servers online for years and years.

That being said, the game does have some weird server hopping mechanic that you can’t turn off, meaning it seems to switch servers while you’re playing, which isn’t always as seamless as you’d hope it would be. Also, at least for me, it sometimes selects servers with >100ms latency, which is quite noticeable of course.

The mission where the janitor gives you his Walkman in Control, where you’re in that weird room killing heaps of enemies. Couldn’t stop smiling and appreciating the scene with the great music.

While I’m coping that Christian “ports” Apollo over to work with Lemmy, I love what you guys are doing with Mlem. I’m in the beta via TestFlight and what’s there works quite well (even though you can clearly tell it’s early days).

I’m very new to iOS development, but if I find the time and motivation I might put in the hours to contribute a feature or two.

At $0.24 per 1,000 API calls, this must be the most inefficient backend code to ever exist if that’s “fair pricing” as opposed to ridiculous pricing.
