New subreddit talking about it here. I'm assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community

I think Christian mentioned he isn't planning to port Apollo to Lemmy, but I haven't given up hope just yet!

I didn’t know that, he say why?

He mentioned it in his "Apollo will close down on June 30th" post on /r/ApolloApp (I'm linking it here, but here's the quote so you don't have to gift Reddit your traffic):

Will you build a competitor? Move to one of the existing alternatives?

I've received so many messages of kind people offering to work with me to build a competitor to Reddit, and while I'm very flattered, that's not something I'm interested in doing. I'm a product guy, I like building fun apps for people to use, and I'm just not personally interested in something more managerial.

These last several months have also been incredibly exhausting and mentally draining, I don't have it in me to engage in something so enormous.

Ok I had read that too. A different interpretation of your take on that is that he builds products (the app that accesses content) not the whole platform itself (Reddit or Lemmy). So it’s still possible he could build an app for Lemmy. He just wouldn’t try to build the whole ecosystem like Lemmy is.
