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

Used Reddit is Fun. Obviously not anymore.

I've been using boost for a while now. Just felt right for me.

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

10 years on Relay. I've stopped going now.

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

I was using Joey but deleted it along with my accounts on the 12th.

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

Not sure if the responses to the poll are skewed, but the vote suggests vastly different numbers than Reddit would lead you to believe

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

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.

Former Apollo user here.

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

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.

I'm still using Infinity For Reddit until the app doesn't work anymore.

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

I never used a 3rd party app on reddit.

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

@lostwonder Used to have Infinity for Reddit on my Android.

Uninstalled it now.

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

I use Joey, a lesser known but very customizable app for reddit. But I've reduced my participation there.

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

I wouldn't say "currently", but I used to use Infinity.

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

I’m not on Reddit right now; but I was on Apollo since it came out, feels like about 10y right now.

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

RiF, up until a few days ago when I decided to take an indefinite break from Reddit.

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

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.

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

Bought multiple copies of Sync Pro and Ultimate. Apollo was good, RiF was great but Sync Pro was GOD! The GOAT!

Still holding out hope that ljdawson does a sync pro for lemmy. Hope he at least adds a splash page on the 30th explaining why the app no longer works and where to go.

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

Depends on how "currently" is defined. If it means right now, then no. However, if it means until all this then yes. I used to use redreader before i nuked my accounts and content in protest and came to lemmy full time

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

I use the Apollo app and wait until the ship sinks…

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

Sync for years, then when the dev had done one of his up-and-disappear-for-half-a-year's I switched to Boost. Now I just won't use Reddit.

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

Relay Pro user for a few years here.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

Yup, that's why I ended up here. Used RIF on my phone, and can only stand Reddit on browser through RES on old.reddit. Gonna lose the RIF at the end of the month, and old.reddit's undeniably approaching death will make me stop going back there too.

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

I used Joey for about a year but since the blackout it's been uninstalled

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

Reddit is Fun back when I was on Android. Apollo once I moved to iOS. I will sorely miss Apollo.

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

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.
