Exilfranke,

Paying a monthly fee and not even being able to see all content? No thank you.

de-integro-initium,

I agree with you, since Apollo died last night, I have been exclusively on kbin and lemmyw. I don’t know if it is the novelty or just my wish for reddit to die, I don’t miss Reddit at all. Maybe it is like the feeling of a first day after a break up, while you’re still trying reconnect with yourself again.I will probably keep doing some Google search with Reddit for quick finds from time to time, until Fediverse is matured enough and index by search engine. For now I’m happy to be with your guys. Long life to Fediverse.

Crankpork,

I assume that once it's a subscription service most of that money will be going to Reddit, so you'd basically be paying for the privilege of not having to use their official app. That's just ghoulish.

The idea of paying a monthly subscription to use reddit is so off-putting. Maybe if it were a company that I didn't feel so negatively about, I'd consider it.

Based on the prices the Apollo dev was slinging around, I highly doubt Relay will be around even after this guy "figures out" what to charge his users. Unless he's aiming for whales with deep pockets I give it maybe 3-6 months before he also folds. Reddit can also easily move the goal post on Relay, which is inevitable, because Reddit wants people to use thier app.

This is what I'm thinking too. Narwhal is sticking around but once Narwhal 2 comes out it'll be $5-7 per month and more for a user who makes a lot of API calls. If I'm remembering correctly Christian figured it would be close to $10 per month to support Apollo's heavy users without going in the red. That's crazy money to pay for access to Reddit.

And to not even have feature parity (no polls, for example) and not be able to view NSFW posts...

Exactly. I want to be empathetic to the dev, after all /u/Spez put them in an awful position. But scabbing for Reddit isn't going to end well. Better to accept that the blow has been dealt, and to move onto the next platform and/or project.

VulcanSphere,

So long, Relay.

It's been a pleasure to use this app for years but this is the end.

I loved Relay and I really wish the dev the best, but I won't continue using it and Reddit because the underlying issue remains. Reddit admin is rotten.

Nicenightforawalk,

I read that and instantly thought about spez singling out Apollo APL for not being efficient then Christian pulls out all the data to show how efficient it is. Another lie by spez he got called out on

Criton,

Aww man I have had Relay Pro for so long but have only been on Reddit recently to look at my sub list to work out what I’m missing over here (and find/create equivalent communities)
