How many of you use a 3rd-party app to browse Reddit?

I use 3: RedReader, Stealth & Relay

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I used Narwhal for a long time, switched to Apollo a couple of years ago.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I used RiF. Tried a few other apps over the years, but nothing beat the clean, uncluttered UI.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yes! Rif is amazingly accessible from a neurodiversity standpoint.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

RIF, though I haven't visited Reddit in the last week. Call it me training for the 30th

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I was using Apollo before... well... you know, everything.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, Infinity. Actually I used the official Reddit app until all of this hit the news. Then I deleted that app and switched to Infinity. When infinity goes, I'll delete it and I'm done with Reddit except on an alt account on my desktop. And that will just be for correspondence.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Apollo for iOS, RiF for Android I've pretty much been off Reddit since the blackout

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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.

I just uninstalled BaconReader. Long time user. Deleted the accounts that weren't banned for wrongthink.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Apollo. So no more reddit for me when the app shuts down officially.

I wish Christian would made an Apollo-like app for the Fediverse.

Yes, Relay. Not nearly as much as before the whole API situation, but i still use it occasionally.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I have Apollo Ultra, because I really appreciated the work that went into making the app so pleasant. I also was a reddit subscriber for over a decade ( since 2011 ). Already cancelled the subscription, and when Apollo goes dark I think my use of reddit will plummet. Pretty much just browser access with adblock on.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Used to use Apollo, but traded my iphone to get back to Android a week ago. Perfect timing to be honest, haven't been on Reddit since.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm still using Apollo and am trying to get used to Feddit but it's hard, to be honest. On Reddit I'd know I'd get shittons of downvotes for saying this ;-)

I used to use rif. Now, if a search brings me to reddit, I use my web browser, but I haven't directly gone to reddit since the subreddits went dark.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I use Boost on Android.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Apollo all the way, sad to see it go

Hey, another Joey user.

Nice.

Usually doesn't get mentioned when people talk about third party apps.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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?

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I used to use Boost, I stopped when they banned the community showing how to switch to kbin.

Have been using Boost for quite a while now, but have used a few over time.

  • Boost
  • Relay
  • Sync

On desktop, always old.reddit.com with RES.--

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That poll isn't going to get good results because a lot of 3PA users have already left reddit

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!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm looking for a gradual transition from Reddit to Lemmy. To make things easier, I started to use Redreader. Man, I wish I'd done this switch earlier.

Redreader's dev has expressed interest on Lemmy compatibility, so when (if) this happens, I know which app I'll be using.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

RIF for a few years and Apollo for a few months, since both are going down I don't really have any incentive to stay on Reddit

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

RIF right until I stopped using reddit.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I've used Joey for years. (I've never used the official app.)

I'm not using anything right now and have deleted one of my accounts. I'll be deleting the other one in the next week.
