I’ve seen the app Apollo as the center of the reddit protest (it was mentioned and cited more than any other app in relevant posts). I’ve also seen many Lemmy clients in development taking inspiration from it.

As a lifetime Android user I’ve never been able to use it, and I’ve never gotten a proper answer to “why not just use the official app?” What made it different from the official application and other unofficial clients that consequently made it so popular among Redditors?

    Yeah, I’m posting from WefWef using lemmy.world for this. I’ve had some issues, but genuinely, nothing that the Reddit app wasn’t doing itself in not loading content for me.

    Fediverse stuff takes an extra second sometimes since it’s not all hosted on a single instance, so it will sometimes take a second try to access stuff. As chronically online, it’s worth the second chance.
