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!

[-] AceLucario@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Minty@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Sync, but I already got rid of it and my Reddit stuff.

[-] TranceReduction@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Used Reddit is Fun. Obviously not anymore.

Trying to avoid Reddit at the moment... but Apollo is my go-to on iOS, rif is fun on Android. Both are shutting down at the end of the month so here I am!

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.

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 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.

[-] Jamsb@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] Scrabbone@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] callyral@readit.buzz 2 points 2 years ago

before i quit i used infinity on android and old reddit on desktop

[-] GeekFTW@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] bunkbed@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] NightOwl@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 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

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

[-] Caffeinated_Capybara@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Beeko@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

You’re asking a rather biased crowd, seeing as we’re on Lemmy. I’ve used Apollo for a long time.

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I never used a 3rd party app on reddit.

[-] ExoMonk@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Been on Reddit since 2009ish before they had an app. I used reddit is fun, baconreader, relay and then sync lasted the longest. When I moved to iOS I grabbed Apollo which was the closest experience to sync. I've been off Reddit for over a week now. Deleted my apps, deleted most of my accounts. There's some things I still miss that I haven't found replacement for, namely some niche discussions (wrestling, destiny 2) but I'm sure I'll find something.

[-] Larven@feddit.nu 2 points 2 years ago

Sync, fantastic app.

[-] offthecrossbar@beehaw.org 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

[-] PrinceHabib72@vlemmy.net 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.

[-] delcake@lemmy.songsforno.one 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] hazelnoot@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] racer983@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] zettajon@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I was a huge fan of Sync, the Material You implementation was the best on Android, bar none.

[-] kkaosninja@mas.to 2 points 2 years ago

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

Uninstalled it now.

[-] BiggestBulb@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I used Joey for about a year but since the blackout it's been uninstalled

[-] GeminiFrenchFry@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago
[-] Japonica@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Me. I use Slide for Android, an #openSource one (do we do hashtags here, can't recall!)
