I've used Boost for years.

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.

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

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.

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

[-] xavier666@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

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

[-] TheNH813@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years 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.

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

[-] Weaselmaster@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I use Redder on iPad for the last several years. It apparently hasn’t been updated in 2 years, and I have no idea if there is a userbase of any size.

Just bought the Mac version of Redder about two months ago….

[-] skepticalifornia@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Apollo on my iPad and Sync on my Android phone.

[-] Drewski@kbin.social 1 points 2 years 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.

[-] SeeJayEmm@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] runningman@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years 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

[-] Hyperi0n@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I used to use Teddit.net and Stealth on F-Droid before the u/spez tomfoolery.

[-] papegaai@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Former Apollo user here.

[-] Wizbangs@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Apollo for me. I'll miss it... unless a miracle happens.

[-] nickb333@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] WhiteBlackGoose@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Such a useless poll

[-] gotofritz@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] themizarkshow@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] plum@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] LostCause@kbin.social 1 points 2 years 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.

[-] TimTheEnchanter@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] techno156@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Reddit didn't have a third party app (just the compact and mobile interface) when I used it, so I picked up an app and never left.

I mostly use Alien Blue and Apollo, both of which are almost certainly on the chopping block. I tried the official Reddit app for a little bit, but my iPad Mini 2 is too old and slow for it, so it tends to crash almost instantly, or run rather poorly.

On my phone, I started with relay, but moved to Redreader and Infinity, since they were open source, and have better performance compared to Relay. I still keep relay around for the message notifications, since they're better than the other two apps.

I use to use bacon reader but now here I am
