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

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

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!

[-] kkaosninja@mas.to 2 points 1 year ago

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

Uninstalled it now.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[-] Jamsb@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

I used BaconReader for a long time and then switched to Relay several years ago. I'm going to miss it dearly.

[-] maique@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I did, Apollo, before leaving Reddit for good. It was the reason why I used Reddit in the first place.

[-] TacoTime@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I've bounced around through a couple different apps over my almost 14 years on that site. I never loved the official app.

  • RiF
  • Sync
  • Apollo (for my Apple devices)
  • Relay, though has been my go to for the past years though.

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

[-] ghashul@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] nickb333@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I used Baconreader on Android but I may have subscribed to RSS at one time too. 14 years but not so much recently.

[-] Deemo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Used to use Apollo and Reddit sync now switched over to Jeroba for Lemmy (android) and pwa for iPad

Might consider sync for Lemmy after it develops.

[-] WhiteBlackGoose@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Such a useless poll

[-] gotofritz@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

No, and I don't give a shit about them or app developers. Sorry, i know I am supposed to fIGhT ThE PoWeR or something, but couldn't care less. Fed up of reading about it, in fact I'll probably stop using beehaw because that's all there is to read - reddit this reddit that. BORING

[-] jschmau5@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I’m not on Reddit right now; but I was on Apollo since it came out, feels like about 10y right now.

[-] Drewski@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I use teddit, a privacy frontend for reddit. Doesn't support logging in, but I haven't had a reddit account for a few years now.

[-] runningman@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I used a variety of 3rd party reddit apps (reddit is fun, slide, and infinity), but deleted my account after the API mess. I've been using Jerboa with Lemmy the last week or two

[-] themizarkshow@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I used Apollo on iOS and Sync Pro for Android. Deleted my account of fifteen years though

[-] papegaai@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Former Apollo user here.

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

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

[-] Suspicious_Lori@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I use to use bacon reader but now here I am

[-] plum@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I used Apollo for over 5 years. Before that, I had an Android, so I used Baconreader and later Relay. Before THAT, I used Alien Blue.

Ever since the blackout, I have only visited Reddit once. Definitely making Lemmy my primary forum nowadays.

[-] LostCause@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I used Apollo until roughly a week ago or so when I started to detach from Reddit. Now it‘s since been uninstalled.

[-] MxM111@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Apollo still works. I will use it until it does not. And then - cold turkey.

[-] LostCause@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

My main reason to rush was that I felt disgusted any time I opened it, because I kept seeing comments from people who didn‘t give a fuck and supported spez. I’m used to feeling like shit and doom when browsing Reddit, but disgust was a new one.

So I pulled the plug early and overall, I feel good here now, I can share in some negative news about Reddit which makes me feel less alone and also participate in new and growing communities, it‘s awesome.

Only thing I miss is the app, Apollo was a wonderful app and you could tell a labor of love, RIP. I can see why you might want to use it till its last day.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
