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.

    That’s how I’ve been experiencing reddit for many many years. When you get used to accessing information this way, in a structured, cohesive and whole manner, you can’t easily go back to “timeline” modes information presentation where everything is mixed up, hard to relate and impossible to paginate. That’s why Twitter and mastodon have never made the cut for me.
