A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Getting Off Apollo May Be a Good Thing (beehaw.org)

I decided it was time to set up my RSS app as a replacement for Apollo. I created a list of all my subscribed subreddits. Adding them to Reeder, I skipped a bunch of them because they were never of much use. I ended up with less than a fourth of what I subscribed to.

Now when I go through my feed I see each individual post instead of focusing on large images and videos. Reeder just shows me what's new. Instead of scrolling aimlessly for as long as I like, I can get through everything is a short period of time. Now I can aimlessly scroll through lemmy and bin.

I'm mainly a lurker, reading the main posts and not the comments so Reeder works well for me. If I want to see the comments or make one I have to go the Reddit site via the RSS app. I'm sure there are a lot of other features Apollo has that an RSS app doesn't. I didn't use them.

Thanks Apollo for a great app. I hope to see you in the lemmy kbin fediverse in the future.

How many of these posts about reddit have to keep popping up before the mods start cracking down and making this community about technology, not love/hate letter spam about the reddit incident. It's gotten old.

Use one of the MULTIPLE communities about reddit for these posts. This isn't even about technology, this is someone using this as their own personal microblog thinking other people care that they've moved on.
