Technology

I was using rif for years, I don't see myself ever downloading the reddit app partly because it sucks but now I have a bad taste in my mouth after all this. If they had of just improved their own app and left the third party ones alone I probably would have used it.

Infinity, FOSS and on FDroid

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.

During my 13.5 years of Reddit, I've used at least these, in possibly this order

• Alien Blue (RIP)
• Bacon Reader
• Reddit is Fun
• Reddit Sync
• Joey, for the last ~6 years

Don't browse Reddit anymore, apps or browser. If I do end up visiting via Google, I use old.reddit.com.

I used Sync up until last week.

Won't be back.

I wouldn't say currently because I deleted it after moving to Kbin, but I was using RIF for as long as it existed and was a daily Reddit user for over 12 years. I've been happy using Kbin though this past week and have quickly seen subreddits migrating over and a lot more activity just in the past few days.

I recently bought RIF golden platinum just to give back to the dev, knowing that very soon the app will stop working. I'm hoping the dev could reuse his code and swap out the backend to make a lemmy client of the same caliber. It really is a good app.

RIF was Reddit for me.

Apollo all the way, sad to see it go

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.

When I was using reddit, I used Boost.

Used Apollo before, now I don't use it.

If "currently" means before the debacle (because I don't use Reddit currently): no, I'm primarily a desktop user, I used old Reddit and RES and I don't really have much personal attachment to 3rd party apps (that doesn't mean I won't stand with those who do).

I think that the API issue is more of a symptom of something much more deeply wrong with Reddit, if it wasn't the API it would have been some other breaking point.

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

I used Baconreader, Relay, and in 2014 got Sync pro and have used that ever since.

I stopped using reddit for the blackout and have been trying Jerboa and /kbin since then.

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

I used Apollo since it’s inception, and Alien Blue before that. Now I’ve deleted all Reddit apps and exclusively use kbin, for the last week or so.

I used Apollo. Now I'm only using it to check whether Christian Selig commented on anything, but nothing more than that.

I plan to nuke my last remaining Reddit account on June 30th.

I used Infinity until I deleted my Reddit account in connection with the protests. Now I don't use Reddit at all.

I am/was using Sync Pro for 9+ years

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

Used to use Apollo for Reddit (with pro)

Relay

RedReader, although not so much since Spez started his API stupidity. Personal preference, I like the basic, clean interface, which is also valued for accessibility. Jerboa's interface actually looks quite similar.

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.

I preferred the /.compact version of Reddit. They disabled it a few months back and all the alternatives suck.

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.

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

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

RIF right until I stopped using reddit.

Infinity!

Apollo until last week. Deleted Reddit account.

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

I used Relay for years until I quit reddit a week 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.

Did. Libreddit. Now Lemmy only. #FediFTW

I use Boost on Android.

Joey for Reddit

Me for about 10 more days or so apparently.

Then it'll just be Jerboa on my phone because I refuse to reinstall that piece of crap official Reddit app entirely. If a Google search takes me to Reddit for an answer I'll just use my browser until they eventually kill that too probably.
