Although I'm a bit sad about no plans for Apollo for Lemmy, I definitely get the reasoning he gives - a double heartbreak is the last thing I'd wish on him. I got the Pixel Pals app (yay, cute raccoons!) to show support for his work & the challenges lately.

Yeah, I also will be staying on Lemmy. There's bugs and performance issues but the quality of conversation is better and interaction feels genuine. There's also actual possibilities to contribute instead of getting lost in a sea of rehashed comments.
The main thing that is missing now (and I assume will remain missing) are the hobby communities, especially those aimed at non-techies, like sewing, cross stitch,... I feel the people there aren't going to bother with figuring out Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse... because they tend to be less tech savvy.

Yeah, their interview with Christian Selig was an interesting read as well: Apollo’s Christian Selig explains his fight with Reddit — and why users revolted

I wonder if the comments about no significant revenue drop still holds true today. I was quite surprised to see that there doesn't seem to be too big a drop in posts & comments (~1k) aside from the crash yesterday. https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/

I use both but I'm terrible at taking meds regularly (ha, the irony!).
For losing track of time during meetings/focus sessions, I use a Time Timer to visually see time passing by/showing how much time is left.
For reminders, I use Due on iOS (+ Apple Watch) as it continues to send reminders until you do the thing and check it off.
For to-do lists, I use both paper planning with a bullet journal-esque notation as well as a whiteboard for "temporary" planning, like creating a prioritization matrix, as it allows me to shift things around more easily.
