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

I use Joey, a lesser known but very customizable app for reddit. But I've reduced my participation there.

[-] Japonica@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

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

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.

I never used a 3rd party app on reddit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[-] offthecrossbar@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year 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

[-] callyral@readit.buzz 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] bunkbed@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Caffeinated_Capybara@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Minty@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] PrinceHabib72@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.

[-] racer983@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] james@lemmy.jamesj999.co.uk 2 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] Meilindis@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I've used Boost for years.

Yes, Infinity. Actually I used the official Reddit app until all of this hit the news. Then I deleted that app and switched to Infinity. When infinity goes, I'll delete it and I'm done with Reddit except on an alt account on my desktop. And that will just be for correspondence.

[-] Valdair@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Reddit is Fun back when I was on Android. Apollo once I moved to iOS. I will sorely miss Apollo.

[-] Mellibird@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] AceLucario@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] TranceReduction@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Used Reddit is Fun. Obviously not anymore.

[-] Snowpix@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Scrabbone@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] TheNH813@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

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

Relay Pro (android) use to be the app I've used for reddit, but I uninstalled it at the start of the debacle and will not be returning to reddit for the foreseeable future due to the nature of what reddit has become. It is no longer a community lead platform and instead a thing owned by a larger company with leadership that just wants to make money off of the people who use it. I believe the fediverse to be the future of the community that made reddit what it was and that community should not be owned by any one company/organization. There will definitely be growing pains and decisions to be made here on how best to handle so many things, but I have confidence in the community that it will be sorted out and we will get through the growing panins. It will result in a much better platform that will help take us through to the next stage of worldwide community, connectedness, and information sharing.

Sync, fantastic app.
