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!
I use Joey, a lesser known but very customizable app for reddit. But I've reduced my participation there.
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
Tied 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 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.
Not currently using Reddit, but I started out with baconreader, and have been using Joey for a few years now.
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.
I never used a 3rd party app on reddit.
Not sure if the responses to the poll are skewed, but the vote suggests vastly different numbers than Reddit would lead you to believe
I've used Boost for years.
Sync, fantastic app.
Boost user here, sad to see it go :(
I was using Joey but deleted it along with my accounts on the 12th.
I use RIF
Libreddit
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
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.
Never was a heavy user. I was using infinity, uninstalled before api change was announced actually.
I've been using boost for a while now. Just felt right for me.
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.
Apollo (and Alien Blue before that back in the day).
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.
I’m not on Reddit right now; but I was on Apollo since it came out, feels like about 10y right now.
You’re asking a rather biased crowd, seeing as we’re on Lemmy. I’ve used Apollo for a long time.
I use to use bacon reader but now here I am
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.
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.
Infinity, FOSS and on FDroid
Used Reddit is Fun. Obviously not anymore.
