So my understanding is Reddit, or specifically u/spez, tried to claim that the Apollo developer was blackmailing them over the entire API pricing debacle. The Apollo developer posted the audio and transcript of the call with Reddit showing they were lying. Now they’ve claimed his App is poorly developed and making wasteful amounts of API calls- so now he’s posted a large swath of code online to disprove that also.
Mostly interface, some say it is more simple. It does both the aggregation and communities like Lemmy and microblogging. It also does some sort of microblogging related to the individual communities but I don’t really understand how that feature works.
Somebody could use it instead of lemmy or mastodon, but it also federates to them so nobody misses out.
It’s gonna be heavily moderated and anything negative will be removed, probably.
they lied about Apollo blackmailing them I wouldn’t be surprised
What? Who lied about what? Can you expand on this, I have no idea what it means other than knowing Apollo is probably referring to the Reddit app.

Apollo dev must understand that Lemmy is slowly gaining ground. He could build an instance or rebuild Apollo into a Lemmy client.
sorry dud I’m using jerboa and didn’t get a notification for this, looks like people have already clarified below
Ha, the lemmy devs don’t know how to moderate correctly.
Is Kbin Lemmy, or is Kbin just federated with Lemmy? Still trying to figure all this out.
It is federated, but its own thing.
What’s actually different about it?
