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

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.

Using RIF until it throws errors at me

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, Joey. It was a little rough around the edges but it was cheap and had no ads. I stopped using in January because I wanted to spend less time on Reddit in general - the site on mobile Firefox sure helped to keep me away :^)

Now I'm gone for good tho - thanks spez for helping me quit!

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

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

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

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 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.

Former Apollo user here.

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

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

Used Sync for Reddit for few years. I paid for pro version after just few hours of using (super simple setup etc). Now I am enjoying kbin via mozilla and it is great.

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

Relay until the blackout, browser only now since I've uninstalled everything reddit after.

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

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

On Android I used boost and reddit is fun. On iOS I used Apollo. Haven't been browsing reddit, since then but did move to setting up an rss for two subreddits to use with feedly.

The two rss I set up being

http://teddit.net/r/buildapcsales/?api&type=rss http://teddit.net/r/gamedeals/?api&type=rss

Tied to at least lessen any benefit I might have to them by using a reddit front end to get feeds.

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

Apollo (and Alien Blue before that back in the day).

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

Apollo forever till the blackout. Replaced the apollo spot with Mlem to keep my muscle memory from screwing over my desire to not support the reddit changes.

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

Not currently using Reddit, but I started out with baconreader, and have been using Joey for a few years now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, I technically still use Boost, though I haven't really used reddit since the 11th.

I was using Sync for years and years. This month, I deleted all my Reddit accounts. That was a well polished app and I'll definitely miss it, but I'm not really missing Reddit itself.

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

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

[–] [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

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

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

Uninstalled it now.

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

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

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

I use 3: RedReader, Stealth & Relay

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

I used bacon reader for a couple years before switching to relay and staying there for like 10 years or something like that. Tried others here and there but always quickly went back to relay for one reason or another. I'll be sad to see it go

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!
