How many of you use a 3rd-party app to browse Reddit?

I'm looking for a gradual transition from Reddit to Lemmy. To make things easier, I started to use Redreader. Man, I wish I'd done this switch earlier.

Redreader's dev has expressed interest on Lemmy compatibility, so when (if) this happens, I know which app I'll be using.

I supidly used the official app despite it's blatant flaws. Out of spite I switched to RIF up until the blackouts.

Apollo for years. I check in on Reddit occasionally and will until month end.

Reddit didn't have a third party app (just the compact and mobile interface) when I used it, so I picked up an app and never left.

I mostly use Alien Blue and Apollo, both of which are almost certainly on the chopping block. I tried the official Reddit app for a little bit, but my iPad Mini 2 is too old and slow for it, so it tends to crash almost instantly, or run rather poorly.

On my phone, I started with relay, but moved to Redreader and Infinity, since they were open source, and have better performance compared to Relay. I still keep relay around for the message notifications, since they're better than the other two apps.

Was using Relay on android for the past like 10 years.

I only used the official Reddit app when reading Reddit on my phone. It was quite annoying to write posts with the app, but reading them was fine. I prefered using the website on my laptop though.

I definitely have used a client for years, that being RedReader. They actually managed to get a non-commercial accessibility api requirements exemption. The creator of it may be interested in adding support for accessing Lemmy and similar federated networks within the same app. That would actually be a great idea, I really hope they can make my favorite client a all in one. https://reddit.com/comments/145du4j

I used to use Teddit.net and Stealth on F-Droid before the u/spez tomfoolery.
