I use to use bacon reader but now here I am

Not currently using Reddit, but I started out with baconreader, and have been using Joey for a few years now.
I’m not on Reddit right now; but I was on Apollo since it came out, feels like about 10y right now.
RIF, but I won't after the 30th of course. Won't be switching to the main app or using Reddit at all on my phone anymore, just those niche communities that don't have an equivalent on lemmy yet through old.reddit and RES
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 used Joey for about a year but since the blackout it's been uninstalled
I was using Joey but deleted it along with my accounts on the 12th.
I used Apollo on iOS and Sync Pro for Android. Deleted my account of fifteen years though
I have used reddit is fun for my entire 6 years on the platform
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.
I did, Apollo, before leaving Reddit for good. It was the reason why I used Reddit in the first place.
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
Tried to at least lessen any benefit I might have to them by using a reddit front end to get feeds.
Sync, fantastic app.
Using RIF until it throws errors at me
Boost
I used to use Narwhal app but I don't go to Reddit anymore.
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
Slide and now RedReader.
Apollo on my iPad and Sync on my Android phone.
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.
Former Apollo user here.
I used Baconreader on Android but I may have subscribed to RSS at one time too. 14 years but not so much recently.
I used Apollo until roughly a week ago or so when I started to detach from Reddit. Now it‘s since been uninstalled.
Apollo still works. I will use it until it does not. And then - cold turkey.
I originally started on iOS with Alien Blue waaaay back when, but after swapping to an Android device I swapped to RiF.
I used Apollo for over 5 years. Before that, I had an Android, so I used Baconreader and later Relay. Before THAT, I used Alien Blue.
Ever since the blackout, I have only visited Reddit once. Definitely making Lemmy my primary forum nowadays.
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.
Apollo for years. I check in on Reddit occasionally and will until month end.
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!
