RIF right until I stopped using reddit.

When I was using reddit, I used Boost.

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

RiF for 9 years

[–] Satiric_Weasel@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

I've used both RiF and Sync, and between the two of them I'd probably say Sync was my favorite. I hope both of the devs land on their feet, they produced amazing apps.

[–] NRVulture@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Apollo until last week. Deleted Reddit account.

[–] flynnguy@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Currently? No, because I quit reddit.

But when I was on reddit, I used Relay For Reddit Pro.

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.

RIF for as long as I remember. No more. Sad to see it go. Looking forward to watching this new fediverse community grow.

RIF for many years, switched to Infinity a year or two ago

[–] Frederic@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

I am/was using Sync Pro for 9+ years

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] wholemilk@lemm.ee 4 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

[–] worfamerryman@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Well, I did. Now I don’t use Reddit at all. Apollo.

[–] PrinceHabib72@vlemmy.net 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.

[–] madr@madr.it 3 points 2 years ago

@lostwonder Yup, I use Infinity, and I'll keep it installed until it no longer works, but I'm just trying not to use Reddit at all now.

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 3 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

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.

[–] MrMonkey@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] monkeysuncle@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I've used RedReader for many years. When the api changes were announced I was certain I would never use reddit before, as I usually browse it on the phone. I still want to migrate away from reddit fully, but since RedReader has an api exception it's going to be more difficult to break my addiction.

[–] renard_roux@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] LegacyFlex@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I've exclusively used Relay for years until earlier this week. I've popped in a few times to see how things were going. According to my screen time usage app I've used Relay for under 10 minutes this week. Prior to that I was spending anywhere hour plus daily.

I use Boost on Android.

[–] Silviecat44@vlemmy.net 3 points 2 years ago

Used to use Apollo for Reddit (with pro)

[–] PolySeaOfTrees@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I started with RIf for ten first few years and then switched over to Sync. I loved the customization that Sync provides

[–] infinitevalence@discuss.online 3 points 2 years ago

I used a 3rd party app for years until last week. The bridge is burned I'm not going back.

[–] Jamsb@kbin.social 3 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.

[–] parared@beehaw.org 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.

[–] Rentlar@beehaw.org 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.

[–] Gh05t@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I was on digg but was slow to get on Reddit. Wasn’t until Apollo that it became regular part of my daily routine. Without the app I wouldn’t have been as engaged.

[–] TheBladeRoden@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Using RIF until it throws errors at me

[–] callyral@readit.buzz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

before i quit i used infinity on android and old reddit on desktop

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.
