Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
