Far prefer Apollo and wish this was an option for Christian. Understanding (and accepting) it’s not, so looking forward to giving Narwhal a go!


If-You-Cant-Hang

Narwhal was the first app I used on iOS. It’s a great app. I actually use their swipe gestures for voting/replying/etc on Apollo because I loved it so much. It was one of the first customizable things I addressed when my buddy told me to try Apollo. I thought Apollo was better (because of a few small customization items, they’re both functionally great) but I would have no problem using narwhal if need be.

I was using Narwhal before I moved to Apollo a few years ago. I installed Narwhal again yesterday after a long-while. But the difference in experience compared to Apollo was huge. Small things like Mark posts as read as you scroll, pull down to refresh etc. make a huge difference. Even the level of customization to the UI seems incomparable. I tried to have the subreddit name over the post title like in Apollo, but apparently this is not an option in Narwhal. I’m too tired and just uninstalled it. Apollo is at a whole another level and kudos to Christian for developing such a well-rounded app. I hope Christian keeps engaging with the Apollo community even after tomorrow - through Lemmy or whatever. I’ll fully support him with whatever new ideas he comes up with.

Not going to lie I’ll be curious to see what the cost of an actual subscription to Apollo with the new API would be. Because the price I would be willing to pay for Apollo might be higher than Christian thinks it is. Even if he wasn’t able to keep updating it and we were just stuck with this version. I live by this app. I’m going to be heartbroken — posted on Apollo

So it seems like Reddit gave the Narwhal dev a bit more time to build out what they’re calling Narwhal 2 to be set up with subscriptions and stuff for the new API costs. Basically exactly what Christian asked for, they just didn’t want to work with him.

Porn's bad for your brain

Only if you’re over-consuming it or think that’s what sex actually looks like


cavahoos

Not what studies show

Nope, I don’t consume it. There’s enough literature on it out there for me to know to stay clear of it

How terminally online are you that you think someone’s brain is messed up for not consuming porn lol


GlitchParrot

Not for not consuming porn, but for the need to shout out and project their opinion onto others as if it’s the only truth.

Science doesn’t lie. You can have your beliefs, more power to you


GlitchParrot

Science proves that there are both positive and negative impacts. Far more negatives, yes, but a lot of those negative impacts are concerning relationships and how porn consumption affects people in an active relationship – many people are single, so those things don’t affect them. The other negative parts are often not caused by porn itself, but by a porn *addiction*. Which is entirely different. That’s similar to saying you don’t take pain killers because pain killer addiction is bad.

Whether you are in a relationship or not, it affects empathy

Love to see cowardice and bootlicking rewarded

Huh?

Narwhal's survival is an attempt at reputation laundering by Spez. It has only happened because the Narwhal dev kept silent about Reddit's shameful behavior over the past month. It will be short-lived.


Konpochiro

Oh. That’s it what I was hoping to hear. I switched back to Narwhal since it’s one of the only remaining apps that work now.
