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.
I supidly used the official app despite it's blatant flaws. Out of spite I switched to RIF up until the blackouts.
I used "Now for Reddit" for 95% of my time on Reddit. Once I discovered it that was it for me. Only dealt with the web if I had no other choice.
Never did web on mobile.
Used their own app (Android), never had any issues with it. I tried a few others (like Boost) but found them less user friendly tbh.
Was using Relay on android for the past like 10 years.
Naturally.
Back on Android I used sync. Now on iOS I use slide.
Apollo for years. I check in on Reddit occasionally and will until month end.
I used RIF for years. Originally I installed the official app but it was so bad I sought out alternatives.
For desktop I used old.reddit site, the redesign was terrible! I genuinely don't know how people can use the bew look desktop site.
I only used the official Reddit app when reading Reddit on my phone. It was quite annoying to write posts with the app, but reading them was fine. I prefered using the website on my laptop though.
My 11 year account has been using nothing but third-party apps for Reddit on mobile. First Narwhal, then Alien Blue, finally Apollo.
Used Reddit is Fun. Obviously not anymore.
I used Joey for about a year but since the blackout it's been uninstalled
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.
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 have used reddit is fun for my entire 6 years on the platform
Apollo on my iPad and Sync on my Android phone.
Used to use Apollo, but traded my iphone to get back to Android a week ago. Perfect timing to be honest, haven't been on Reddit since.
Such a useless poll
before i quit i used infinity on android and old reddit on desktop
I originally started on iOS with Alien Blue waaaay back when, but after swapping to an Android device I swapped to RiF.
I was a huge fan of Sync, the Material You implementation was the best on Android, bar none.
Apollo user here.
Former Apollo user here.
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.
Joey for Reddit
Apollo (and Alien Blue before that way back in the day).
Me. I use Slide for Android, an #openSource one (do we do hashtags here, can't recall!)
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.
I used to use Teddit.net and Stealth on F-Droid before the u/spez tomfoolery.
RIF, but I won't after the 30th of course. Won't be switching to the main app or using Reddit at all on my phone anymore, just those niche communities that don't have an equivalent on lemmy yet through old.reddit and RES
The only open question is, whether at least one of the popular apps will transition Lemmy. This should doable since the concept is so similar.
The world needs good Fediverse apps. If they include mastodon, we can say good bye to Musk's twitter as well.
Using RIF until it throws errors at me
I never used a 3rd party app on reddit.
I was using Joey but deleted it along with my accounts on the 12th.
RiF, up until a few days ago when I decided to take an indefinite break from Reddit.
Yup, that's why I ended up here. Used RIF on my phone, and can only stand Reddit on browser through RES on old.reddit. Gonna lose the RIF at the end of the month, and old.reddit's undeniably approaching death will make me stop going back there too.
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!
