I came over from Reddit right after Apollo shut down on June 30, and TBH, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stay after that first week. I was seeing the same posts each day no matter how I sorted, and barely any of the posts had any interaction. I’ve seen a huge jump in quality posts and conversation in the last 2-3 days for some reason, and I’ve been popping over to Reddit less just to have something to browse. I’m hopeful that it keeps getting better from here.
