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

[-] Boterham@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] LegacyFlex@kbin.social 4 points 1 year 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.

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

[-] gk99@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I used to use Boost, I stopped when they banned the community showing how to switch to kbin.

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.

[-] TheBladeRoden@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Using RIF until it throws errors at me

[-] Skiptrace@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

I use Boost on Android.

[-] Rentlar@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year 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.

[-] MrMonkey@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Sim@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

RIF was Reddit for me.

[-] fiberandcolor@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago
[-] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] madr@madr.it 3 points 1 year 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.

[-] renard_roux@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] parared@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year 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.

[-] wholemilk@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year 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

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year 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.

[-] Gh05t@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year 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.

Not sure if the responses to the poll are skewed, but the vote suggests vastly different numbers than Reddit would lead you to believe

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.

[-] borntohula85@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

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 ;-)

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!

[-] Master@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Bought multiple copies of Sync Pro and Ultimate. Apollo was good, RiF was great but Sync Pro was GOD! The GOAT!

Still holding out hope that ljdawson does a sync pro for lemmy. Hope he at least adds a splash page on the 30th explaining why the app no longer works and where to go.

[-] raspberrybush@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year 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.

[-] Varyag@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yup, that's why I ended up here. Used RIF on my phone, and can only stand Reddit on browser through RES on old.reddit. Gonna lose the RIF at the end of the month, and old.reddit's undeniably approaching death will make me stop going back there too.

[-] Hellebert@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] JohnnyMentero@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I use 3: RedReader, Stealth & Relay

[-] wreck@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Apollo for iOS, RiF for Android I've pretty much been off Reddit since the blackout

[-] Cowbob45@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

RiF for 9 years

[-] HisDufusness@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago
[-] BReel@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Apollo since day one. When I searched for an app originally, I thought it WAS the official app lol. Now that they're gone, I'm gone.

[-] purpledonkey@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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