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.

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.
I used to use Boost, I stopped when they banned the community showing how to switch to kbin.
I was with boost too. I deleted it at the start of the blackout after using it for like 7 years.
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
I used Joey for about a year but since the blackout it's been uninstalled
Using RIF until it throws errors at me
Well, I technically still use Boost, though I haven't really used reddit since the 11th.

Was using Relay on android for the past like 10 years.
I've been using boost for a while now. Just felt right for me.
Relay Pro. Stopped going.
Same. I haven't opened the app (or the website itself) since the start of the blackout. As the news has developed, there's less and less reason to.
Not sure if the responses to the poll are skewed, but the vote suggests vastly different numbers than Reddit would lead you to believe
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.
I used to use Teddit.net and Stealth on F-Droid before the u/spez tomfoolery.

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

Have used various third party apps in the past, won't name, they've never been too bad.
Usually neater and pay homage to the original style of Reddit as a long form text based forum,. From what I've seen, the official Reddit app and front page on desktop has evolved into a Facebook style newsfeed of images and short videos.
Not my jam
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.
Sync all the way
Sync!
I used BaconReader for a long time and then switched to Relay several years ago. I'm going to miss it dearly.
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.
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.
Former Apollo user here.
I used Apollo until roughly a week ago or so when I started to detach from Reddit. Now it‘s since been uninstalled.
