I would describe Apollo as an accessibility app in the sense that the regular Reddit app is unusable.

My guess is that Reddit is alluding to the stupid suggestion of “just make your app more efficient with requests bro” (paraphrasing) that I saw an admin make. Reddit’s already said they’re not open to negotiations.

The Apollo dev (/u/iamthatis) estimated that the new pricing would cost him $20m per year. I raised this with Reddit – they said that his calculations were “totally wrong”, but they were unable to discuss why. Given that the Apollo dev literally just multiplied the cost by the number of requests, I have trouble seeing how this could be wrong.

lol

“The content” on all Lemmy instances is the same. There is no account migration, but you can just sign up on lemmy.ml. If you already had an account there and you want it back… I don’t know if it’s possible for an admin there to restore it, you might have to get in touch with them.

I’m trying to understand this community and posts there like “how to disprove the lies about the DPRK?” To me, the most telling thing about these pro-North Korea communities is that there are no North Koreans within them 🙃

Hmm… That does not bode well for my hopes that Apollo would support Lemmy in the future. It could have been one of his mods and not the dev himself, though.
