At home I use the web...away from home I use Apollo.

Old.reddit on the web during the day and Sync otherwise
12 year user, mostly browse via Relay for Reddit on phone. But walking away after the API changes. Already starting the process of detoxing and using alternatives.
old reddit with RES on desktop, Infinity for Reddit/Sync for Reddit on mobile. no ads, no chat, no avatars, just plain old text threads.
I'm at my desktop a lot and always have an old.reddit tab up. If I'm anywhere else, I use a third party Android app (Sync Pro, Baconreader before that). I don't know if I'll leave Reddit, but that'll be wholly dependent on where the users/content go.
Mostly via Apollo (app). The webpage is ok. I use it occacially. The Reddit native app is crap. I don't even have it installed (anymore).
If Apollo ceases to work, I will delete my Reddit account.
RedReader! Free, no ads, tons of customization, open source, the absolute bees knees. I just discovered it right before it's apparently gonna get booted like all the rest of the 3rd part apps. >.<
Well I used to only use Reddit is Fun, but I'm committed to staying here with this new API change.
I'm a bit of an outlier though, as I don't have access to a computer so I'm forced to use mobile.
I used to browse on the desktop quite a lot, but I switched to mostly using rif over the years. I actually don't even mind the new ui on desktop, it's just that I try to be somewhat productive when sitting at my PC and mostly default to Reddit on the train etc (and at work but pls don't tell anyone)
I mostly use Apollo, can’t imagine using anything else
app
Mostly use Relay for Reddit Pro.
99% of my Reddit time is on Apollo app on mobile.
web
I used to use old web with RES, although lately it's just been Boost for Android. If Boost stops working due to API changes, I'm done with reddit on the regular.
Web on desktop, Relay on Android, Slide on iOS.
And soon, none on anywhere.
When I was using Reddit, RSS.
Like 90% RedReader and 10% when I'm at work. This change will be hard but most likely for the best.
I use a desktop with adblock for primary usage and prefer Old reddit. I use Apollo on mobile.
old.reddit.com with RES on the desktop, Relay on Android. Don't know what I will do on the toilet if paid-API comes and the clients go. The official one is crap.
For about 2 years I've been using Boost for Reddit android client. Barely used reddit on PC and if when, I've always used uBlock.
Infinity was crazy good. Made a switch about a year ago and going strong until now.
Reddit official app sucks ass so bad.
Long time Joey for Reddit user and the thought of having to experience reddit without it is not something I'm willing to do. I got over a decade from the site, and despite never spending any money there, I've gotten my money's worth.

3rd party FOSS app
apollo!
Speaking of apps are there any good ones for lemmy on ios? I saw Remmel mentioned but could not for the life of me find it on the US App Store?
You can potentially just use the web app. I know this isn't for everyone, but if you go to Lemmy in the Safari browser app, you can hit the 'share' button. There's an option there to add it to your desktop. At that point, it's kind of like a bookmark that goes on your iOS 'desktop'. It will behave a bit like an app at that point.
Like I said, not perfect, but not as bad as you might think. Just sharing for you and anyone else who may not be aware that this is an option.

On desktop I use Libreddit and on mobile I use Infinity
I don't really use it a lot on desktop though
Mobile on Rif. Rarely desktop.
I use Joey. It wasn't exactly cheap ($10 I think) but I use Google's opinion rewards, so it didn't actually cost me any money.
Primarily web via old.reddit.com. RIF on mobile but used far less than web.
I use old reddit on desktop mainly. Probably 60-70% of my redditing is on desktop. The other 30-40% is on mobile, via Apollo on iOS.
Anyway, 99% of my modding is done on desktop. And 99% of that is on old reddit. New reddit does have some nice features for modding that I use every once in awhile. I've tried to switch to new reddit a handful of times (just for my own general browsing), but I could never stick with it.
I use Infinity for 90% of my reddit use. It's so good in my opinion that I actually prefer it over the web UI. Makes me wish they supported Lemmy.
RiF and old reddit for me.
Mostly mobile with Rif, desktop only with RES. Not only do I adblock heavily with uBlock, but I've got a piHole at home to filter ad sites via DNS
Omg I've gotten 180 notifications for this post alone xDDDDD
It was a timely question.
Old Reddit on desktop, Apollo on iPhone and iPad, and Boost on Android. (Sync and Relay are great, but Boost feels most like Apollo to me.)
I use just about every website primarily on PC. I'm horrified whenever I hear the phrase "I'm primarily a mobile user," no matter which site it's referring to. How do you people do it? Mobile is trash. I hate touchscreens.
But when I'm mobile, I use Boost. RIP in pieces, I guess.

RiF on Android. As far as I'm concerned that's the only way to browse Reddit
