Weekend poll: Do you currently use a third-party Reddit app?

Sync all the way

Never was a heavy user. I was using infinity, uninstalled before api change was announced actually.

I was a RedditIsFun/RiF user when I was mobile but mostly I was a keyboard user on a laptop/desktop.

I was losing interest in Reddit over recent years due to the mobile user influx (terse posters, lots of memes and TXT-speak) but thanks to the last few weeks, I have lost nearly all of my interest in Reddit.

I'm really not a joiner or a protester -- I'm rather pragmatic about all of this stuff. But the fact is that Reddit Inc. has by its actions alienated the users most responsible for making Reddit a thing that I enjoyed. It is already to late to recover from that.

Reddit Inc. could do a 180-degree turn today and it won't matter much. In the rough-and-tumble of all of Reddit Inc.'s self-inflicted nonsense, the users they lost (the heart of Reddits culture and spirt) have discovered life beyond Reddit. It looks doable. A month ago, that was fairly unthinkable. Come back? To what? The main reason for Reddit being compelling to me won't return, leaving behind a rather less-interesting Reddit community. I doubt it will attract me.

To me, this just shortened Reddit's long tail. Reddit was already dying a slow death, but this nonsense has made it faster. My current usage is now a small fraction of what it used to me (I have 100 MB of comments and posts submitted over the past 15 years). My guess is that there will be little left of interest in much shorter time span.

I use Infinity since its open source

Sync!

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

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.

infinity

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

When I was using reddit, I used Boost.

I use Boost

Well... Not anymore I don't

This will be an insanely biased poll

Used Reddit is Fun. Obviously not anymore.

I've used RIF for nearly 10 years. I can't stand the current state of the official app. It spends far too much time harassing you with useless notifications/info/recommendations for my taste and it's a laggy mess.

I used apollo, but I've not been on it since the protests started. Not going back to Reddit either now

Apollo for the past years that I've been on iOS and BaconReader before that on Android

Always used RIF, the stock Reddit app has always been unusably terrible.

I definitely have used a client for years, that being RedReader. They actually managed to get a non-commercial accessibility api requirements exemption. The creator of it may be interested in adding support for accessing Lemmy and similar federated networks within the same app. That would actually be a great idea, I really hope they can make my favorite client a all in one. https://reddit.com/comments/145du4j

I've used Boost for years.

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.

Sync IS Reddit to me since I haven't used my desktop for primary browsing of the site in years. It's a shame Reddit is disappearing shortly.

Boost

Infinity, FOSS and on FDroid

RiF since I found Reddit so many years ago. I've tried others but they never stuck.

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