A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I use Boost
Apollo user here. After this latest direction from Reddit's CEO I left the platform. I am waiting until after June 30th before taking a more permanent action with my Reddit Account. I hope Spez comes to his senses and works with 3rd party devs, but I know this isn't likely to happen.
Bacon Reader then Sync
I've bounced around through a couple different apps over my almost 14 years on that site. I never loved the official app.
- RiF
- Sync
- Apollo (for my Apple devices)
- Relay, though has been my go to for the past years though.
Used to use Apollo and Reddit sync now switched over to Jeroba for Lemmy (android) and pwa for iPad
Might consider sync for Lemmy after it develops.
Relay Pro (android) use to be the app I've used for reddit, but I uninstalled it at the start of the debacle and will not be returning to reddit for the foreseeable future due to the nature of what reddit has become. It is no longer a community lead platform and instead a thing owned by a larger company with leadership that just wants to make money off of the people who use it. I believe the fediverse to be the future of the community that made reddit what it was and that community should not be owned by any one company/organization. There will definitely be growing pains and decisions to be made here on how best to handle so many things, but I have confidence in the community that it will be sorted out and we will get through the growing panins. It will result in a much better platform that will help take us through to the next stage of worldwide community, connectedness, and information sharing.
Never was a heavy user. I was using infinity, uninstalled before api change was announced actually.
On Android I used boost and reddit is fun. On iOS I used Apollo. Haven't been browsing reddit, since then but did move to setting up an rss for two subreddits to use with feedly.
The two rss I set up being
http://teddit.net/r/buildapcsales/?api&type=rss http://teddit.net/r/gamedeals/?api&type=rss
Tied to at least lessen any benefit I might have to them by using a reddit front end to get feeds.
Not sure if the responses to the poll are skewed, but the vote suggests vastly different numbers than Reddit would lead you to believe
I originally started on iOS with Alien Blue waaaay back when, but after swapping to an Android device I swapped to RiF.
I use RIF
Apollo user here.
I been using Libreddit as a webapp and will continue to use it until I can't, I made the switch about 3 months ago and for a site like Reddit that's all that needed.
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.
Sync, fantastic app.
Trying to avoid Reddit at the moment... but Apollo is my go-to on iOS, rif is fun on Android. Both are shutting down at the end of the month so here I am!
Me. I use Slide for Android, an #openSource one (do we do hashtags here, can't recall!)
I switched to infinity from slide and I don't even remember why.

I use teddit, a privacy frontend for reddit. Doesn't support logging in, but I haven't had a reddit account for a few years now.
Relay Pro user for a few years here.
I used a variety of 3rd party reddit apps (reddit is fun, slide, and infinity), but deleted my account after the API mess. I've been using Jerboa with Lemmy the last week or two
I did, Apollo, before leaving Reddit for good. It was the reason why I used Reddit in the first place.
Former Apollo user here.
I was using Comet on iOS
Relay until the blackout, browser only now since I've uninstalled everything reddit after.
