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!
I use the Apollo app and wait until the ship sinks…
Used Reddit is Fun. Obviously not anymore.
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
Never was a heavy user. I was using infinity, uninstalled before api change was announced actually.
I wouldn't say "currently", but I used to use Infinity.
I've been using boost for a while now. Just felt right for me.
Such a useless poll
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.
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!
Sync!
Apollo for the past years that I've been on iOS and BaconReader before that on Android
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.
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.
Apollo (and Alien Blue before that back in the day).
I use Joey, a lesser known but very customizable app for reddit. But I've reduced my participation there.
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.
Joey for Reddit
Hey, another Joey user.
Nice.
Usually doesn't get mentioned when people talk about third party apps.
Another ex-Joey user here. Did exactly what I wanted. Nice and clean interface.
Joey devs had a poll recently asking would I pay a subscription for the app (for Reddit). I said no, but maybe they would consider altering Joey to work with Lemmy.. not sure how easy that would be though. Are any of the other clients' devs considering the same does anyone know?
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.
Been on Reddit since 2009ish before they had an app. I used reddit is fun, baconreader, relay and then sync lasted the longest. When I moved to iOS I grabbed Apollo which was the closest experience to sync. I've been off Reddit for over a week now. Deleted my apps, deleted most of my accounts. There's some things I still miss that I haven't found replacement for, namely some niche discussions (wrestling, destiny 2) but I'm sure I'll find something.
Used to use Sync pro
Same, for as long as I can remember. Great app.
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
before i quit i used infinity on android and old reddit on desktop
RiF, up until a few days ago when I decided to take an indefinite break from Reddit.
I never used a 3rd party app on reddit.
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.
You’re asking a rather biased crowd, seeing as we’re on Lemmy. I’ve used Apollo for a long time.
Not sure if the responses to the poll are skewed, but the vote suggests vastly different numbers than Reddit would lead you to believe
Back on Android I used sync. Now on iOS I use slide.
