used this app during the ugly alpha Testflight days. Loved it and how responsive Christian was. When Pro came out I bought it and when Ultra came out I got lifetime.

Any lifetime members make the jump to Lemmy?

Anyone still using Reddit ? What app are you using? I’m on narwhal to check once a day for 5 minutes and I’m done.

Had Christian been able to figure out new pricing with the API, how do you think he would’ve handled Lifetime subscriptions? Create a Apollo 2.0 and say lifetime was only for lifetime of 1.0? Offer a legacy pricing / lifetime only perks to lifetime members?

    Was an ultra lifetime member, now using Lemmy full time. No longer using Reddit regularly, we need to make Lemmy succeed or we’ll always be at the mercy of these corporations.

    Have jumped to Lemmy

    My tips:

    1. Use a browser to signup, save password etc. it might be slow as they are under strain from all the incoming reddit people

    2. Export your data from Apollo in .json and save to your phone

    3. Install wefwef (likely to be renamed at some stage)

    https://wefwef.app/

    1. Import from Apollo export and match up communities.

    2. You can also search by going to your browser and home instance and click in on communities and searching. Make sure you set the feed to ALL

    EDIT: If you cant get to the export (not sure what’s going on with that now), and you can get to a computer you can see what you where subscribed to with this:

    https://old.reddit.com/subreddits/mine/

    Hopefully that helps somewhat.

    Edit 2: If you are still trying to export from Apollo then start the app, click past the first screen and then shake the phone. You will get a menu to export.

        Same. Found it today and loving it so far. Just hoping there’s more content getting shared soon and less posts about Reddit because it seems like that’s the majority of the posts on here so far.

          Trauma bonding lol; the reddit posts will slow down. Everyone’s just venting and exploring right now, but it feels like a good majority of newcomers wanna stick with the fediverse

        It’s still possible to export your data from Apollo:

        1. Open Apollo
        2. Shake your phone to bring up a menu
        3. Tap Export Local Data
        4. Tap JSON

          Helpful. Thank you. I’ll be sure to pass along to others as they ask. I was able to get mine before the shutdown.

      I can’t get past a goodbye screen on Apollo, is there any way to get the .json or are we out of luck at this point?

    I was an early Ultra lifetime adopter plus many tips over time. No regrets. He was done dirty. I’m done with Reddit.

    He would’ve probably have to limit access for lifetime users because it would come out of his pocket every month :(.

    Knowing the way Christian is, he would probably do some perk to lifetime users for us to not feel so bad, but we would have to pay monthly too.

      To be clear, I was willing to pay monthly because I knew that was gonna hurt him substantially. I just would’ve been bummed if it was some silly “here’s some exclusive app icons” type perk or a “here’s a exclusive theme” but I don’t know what else he could’ve done to offset that monthly price. Honestly a lifetime member is probably also a heavy API user so I doubt he could’ve done a much of a discount for them in retrospect.

    Fellow lifetime Ultra member; I also deleted my 8 year old R****t account and came here. I also use squabbles.io. I’m not sure which one I’ll stick with yet (that’s if I stick to one and not use both).

    So far I’m loving these new options - they’re a breath of fresh air; everyone is so nice and friendly!

    Lifetime ultra here. Deleted my reddit account and not looking back. Content is good here, though I’m hopeful for increased activity on a few topics that are important to me.

    I was a lifetime Ultra member as well. Haven’t touched reddit since June 30 and am now regularly on Lemmy. Also, for some reason, I seldom commented on reddit, but here I am more actively participating!

      How long will that app last if it becomes the prominent app post migration? It’s gonna draw attention if it becomes the main way to bypass Reddit ads / app. Will it be subscription free?

        the dev is strong on the philosophy of keeping it free and open source. So it won’t ever require subscription, which also partly what allowed reddit to give the exemption as a ‘non commercial’ app. As for how long it may last, I don’t know, they were worried about this too, that a lot of 3rd party users would migrate to this app and reddit may change their mind.

    If you have knowledge about sideloading or are willing to learn, you can still have Apollo running with your api key. I did it with mine and it’s been working well

      My issue is I accidentally installed the latest version of Apollo. I don’t know the work around with the latest version.

        You’d still need to sideload. You need to alter the .ipa to get things working.
