Something tells me the apollo dev doesn't want to build an application for lemmy. They'll probably stick with reddit unfortunately.

pretty dogshit attitude from them -- easily one of the worst things about reddit is random subs being able to silence people like this. especially at a time like this, we're really bickering on about rule 8a.(b) when the app and site are facing existential threats?

It is unfortunate, because I'd be glad to help them build an app for lemmy, or contribute to the existing ones in development.

wonder if it was the actual dev or one of the random mods on that sub? Their mod list is hidden so who knows how many they actually have?
