I've been using boost for a while now. Just felt right for me.

Well, I technically still use Boost, though I haven't really used reddit since the 11th.

Using RIF until it throws errors at me
RiF, up until a few days ago when I decided to take an indefinite break from Reddit.
I wouldn't say "currently", but I used to use Infinity.
Used Reddit is Fun. Obviously not anymore.
I was using Joey but deleted it along with my accounts on the 12th.
I was using Apollo before... well... you know, everything.
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.
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.
Wish came true with Sync for Lemmy. If Apollo for Lemmy happened that would be huge too.

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
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.
Apollo (and Alien Blue before that back in the day).
I don't plan to use reddit anymore if I can help it, other than to find specific answers to things. I'll no longer just browse. That said, up until now I exclusively used RiF. I refuse to touch the official app, and use old.reddit and ad blockers.
Was using Relay on android for the past like 10 years.
I use to use bacon reader but now here I am
I used RIF for years. Originally I installed the official app, but it was so bad I sought out alternatives.
For desktop I used the old.reddit site (the redesign was terrible!) I genuinely don't know how people can use the new look desktop site.
Apollo since day one. When I searched for an app originally, I thought it WAS the official app lol. Now that they're gone, I'm gone.
Just wanted to ask if Lemmy has an iOS that is not in TestFlight or has its beta full.... Or should we just make one!
I used bacon reader for a couple years before switching to relay and staying there for like 10 years or something like that. Tried others here and there but always quickly went back to relay for one reason or another. I'll be sad to see it go
Sync for years, then when the dev had done one of his up-and-disappear-for-half-a-year's I switched to Boost. Now I just won't use Reddit.
Currently, as in up until the blackout: yes, Baconreader. I used it so exclusively that I only really know reddit as BR shows it to its users and I felt uncomfortable and a bit confused on old and new web reddit. I missed all the "innovations" new Reddit brought, never knew what people were talking about when they mentioned avatars and apparently missed all chats that were ever sent to me because BR would only show messages and comment replies. So without BR, to me there will be no reddit, because I wouldn't be willing to invest time into getting to know reddits official app. One, because it looks absolutely terrible and two, because I'm tired being treated like this by big corporations. You want to shit all over your user base, you won't get any of my data or money any more. Simple as that
Reddit is Fun back when I was on Android. Apollo once I moved to iOS. I will sorely miss Apollo.
I use Joey, a lesser known but very customizable app for reddit. But I've reduced my participation there.
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 never used a 3rd party app on reddit.
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 used BaconReader for a long time and then switched to Relay several years ago. I'm going to miss it dearly.
Slide for Reddit was my app of choice. Now I'm just waiting for my CCPA data export request to come back to me. Once that's done, all the old accounts are going in the shredder.
Sync, fantastic app.
