Apollo for iOS, RiF for Android I've pretty much been off Reddit since the blackout
@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.
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.
Yes, Infinity. Actually I used the official Reddit app until all of this hit the news. Then I deleted that app and switched to Infinity. When infinity goes, I'll delete it and I'm done with Reddit except on an alt account on my desktop. And that will just be for correspondence.
Used to use Apollo for Reddit (with pro)
Naturally.
RIF, though I haven't visited Reddit in the last week. Call it me training for the 30th
Sync!
Have been using Boost for quite a while now, but have used a few over time.
- Boost
- Relay
- Sync
On desktop, always old.reddit.com with RES.--
Libreddit
I used Joey for about a year but since the blackout it's been uninstalled
I just uninstalled BaconReader. Long time user. Deleted the accounts that weren't banned for wrongthink.
Me for about 10 more days or so apparently.
Then it'll just be Jerboa on my phone because I refuse to install that piece of crap official Reddit app entirely. If a Google search takes me to Reddit for an answer I'll just use my browser until they eventually kill that too probably.
I preferred the /.compact version of Reddit. They disabled it a few months back and all the alternatives suck.
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 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!
Bought multiple copies of Sync Pro and Ultimate. Apollo was good, RiF was great but Sync Pro was GOD! The GOAT!
Still holding out hope that ljdawson does a sync pro for lemmy. Hope he at least adds a splash page on the 30th explaining why the app no longer works and where to go.
RiF for 9 years
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.
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.
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.
That poll isn't going to get good results because a lot of 3PA users have already left reddit
I used to use Boost, I stopped when they banned the community showing how to switch to kbin.
I was using Sync for years and years. This month, I deleted all my Reddit accounts. That was a well polished app and I'll definitely miss it, but I'm not really missing Reddit itself.
I use the Apollo app and wait until the ship sinks…
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
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.
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.
Yes, Relay. Not nearly as much as before the whole API situation, but i still use it occasionally.
Relay Pro. Stopped going.
Same. I haven't opened the app (or the website itself) since the start of the blackout. As the news has developed, there's less and less reason to.
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.
I use Boost on Android.
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'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 ;-)
