Technology

I used RiF. Tried a few other apps over the years, but nothing beat the clean, uncluttered UI.

During my 13.5 years of Reddit, I've used at least these, in possibly this order

• Alien Blue (RIP)
• Bacon Reader
• Reddit is Fun
• Reddit Sync
• Joey, for the last ~6 years

Don't browse Reddit anymore, apps or browser. If I do end up visiting via Google, I use old.reddit.com.

The only open question is, whether at least one of the popular apps will transition Lemmy. This should doable since the concept is so similar.

The world needs good Fediverse apps. If they include mastodon, we can say good bye to Musk's twitter as well.

I've used RedReader for many years. When the api changes were announced I was certain I would never use reddit before, as I usually browse it on the phone. I still want to migrate away from reddit fully, but since RedReader has an api exception it's going to be more difficult to break my addiction.

Have used various third party apps in the past, won't name, they've never been too bad.

Usually neater and pay homage to the original style of Reddit as a long form text based forum,. From what I've seen, the official Reddit app and front page on desktop has evolved into a Facebook style newsfeed of images and short videos.

Not my jam

10 years on Relay. I've stopped going now.

Well I did use sync, now using jerboa of course. Would be neat if sync or other apps could be remade for the fedverse. An app that could bridge different fedverse apps more easily like lemmy and mastadon for instance but keep everything easily readable and sortable would be cool.

Used to use Sync pro

Relay Pro. Stopped going.

If "currently" means before the debacle (because I don't use Reddit currently): no, I'm primarily a desktop user, I used old Reddit and RES and I don't really have much personal attachment to 3rd party apps (that doesn't mean I won't stand with those who do).

I think that the API issue is more of a symptom of something much more deeply wrong with Reddit, if it wasn't the API it would have been some other breaking point.

Depends on how "currently" is defined. If it means right now, then no. However, if it means until all this then yes. I used to use redreader before i nuked my accounts and content in protest and came to lemmy full time

I used to use Boost, I stopped when they banned the community showing how to switch to kbin.

That poll isn't going to get good results because a lot of 3PA users have already left reddit

Used Sync for Reddit for few years. I paid for pro version after just few hours of using (super simple setup etc). Now I am enjoying kbin via mozilla and it is great.

I was using Joey but deleted it along with my accounts on the 12th.

Used to use Apollo for Reddit (with pro)

I use Boost on Android.

I used a 3rd party app for years until last week. The bridge is burned I'm not going back.

Red Reader is my main app, but I use it a lot less than before because I'm slowly moving to Lemmy. Still on there for now to shitpost where it's been newly allowed.

I just uninstalled BaconReader. Long time user. Deleted the accounts that weren't banned for wrongthink.

I am/was using Sync Pro for 9+ years

RIF for as long as I remember. No more. Sad to see it go. Looking forward to watching this new fediverse community grow.

RIF for a few years and Apollo for a few months, since both are going down I don't really have any incentive to stay on Reddit

I used to use rif. Now, if a search brings me to reddit, I use my web browser, but I haven't directly gone to reddit since the subreddits went dark.

I was on digg but was slow to get on Reddit. Wasn’t until Apollo that it became regular part of my daily routine. Without the app I wouldn’t have been as engaged.

I have Apollo Ultra, because I really appreciated the work that went into making the app so pleasant. I also was a reddit subscriber for over a decade ( since 2011 ). Already cancelled the subscription, and when Apollo goes dark I think my use of reddit will plummet. Pretty much just browser access with adblock on.

@lostwonder Yup, I use Infinity, and I'll keep it installed until it no longer works, but I'm just trying not to use Reddit at all now.

@lostwonder Used to have Infinity for Reddit on my Android.

Uninstalled it now.

Used to use Apollo, but traded my iphone to get back to Android a week ago. Perfect timing to be honest, haven't been on Reddit since.

I'm still using Apollo and am trying to get used to Feddit but it's hard, to be honest. On Reddit I'd know I'd get shittons of downvotes for saying this ;-)

I used to, Joey. It was a little rough around the edges but it was cheap and had no ads. I stopped using in January because I wanted to spend less time on Reddit in general - the site on mobile Firefox sure helped to keep me away :^)

Now I'm gone for good tho - thanks spez for helping me quit!

You’re asking a rather biased crowd, seeing as we’re on Lemmy. I’ve used Apollo for a long time.

RiF, up until a few days ago when I decided to take an indefinite break from Reddit.

Yup, that's why I ended up here. Used RIF on my phone, and can only stand Reddit on browser through RES on old.reddit. Gonna lose the RIF at the end of the month, and old.reddit's undeniably approaching death will make me stop going back there too.

Boost on android and Apollo on my iPad. Absolutely fantastic apps that made the experience so much better. I don't even remember the last time I used the ofifical reddit app. Though, I haven't used reddit since the blackout began.

Apollo forever till the blackout. Replaced the apollo spot with Mlem to keep my muscle memory from screwing over my desire to not support the reddit changes.

RiF for at least 10 years.

Joey for Reddit

Yes, Relay. Not nearly as much as before the whole API situation, but i still use it occasionally.

Apollo for iOS, RiF for Android I've pretty much been off Reddit since the blackout
