RIF for as long as I remember. No more. Sad to see it go. Looking forward to watching this new fediverse community grow.
Apollo until last week. Deleted Reddit account.
I've used RedReader for many years. When the api changes were announced I was certain I would never use reddit before, as I usually browse it on the phone. I still want to migrate away from reddit fully, but since RedReader has an api exception it's going to be more difficult to break my addiction.
RiF for 9 years
I'm still using Infinity For Reddit until the app doesn't work anymore.
Apollo forever till the blackout. Replaced the apollo spot with Mlem to keep my muscle memory from screwing over my desire to not support the reddit changes.
@lostwonder Yup, I use Infinity, and I'll keep it installed until it no longer works, but I'm just trying not to use Reddit at all now.
Apollo for iOS, RiF for Android I've pretty much been off Reddit since the blackout
10 years on Relay. I've stopped going now.
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.
Used Sync for Reddit for few years. I paid for pro version after just few hours of using (super simple setup etc). Now I am enjoying kbin via mozilla and it is great.
Used to use Apollo for Reddit (with pro)
Yes, Relay. Not nearly as much as before the whole API situation, but i still use it occasionally.
I have Apollo Ultra, because I really appreciated the work that went into making the app so pleasant. I also was a reddit subscriber for over a decade ( since 2011 ). Already cancelled the subscription, and when Apollo goes dark I think my use of reddit will plummet. Pretty much just browser access with adblock on.
Apollo. So no more reddit for me when the app shuts down officially.
I wish Christian would made an Apollo-like app for the Fediverse.
Right there with you. The thing is, I've been trying to kick the habit for years now. Huffman is doing me and millions of others a favour here. I'll probably still log in online occasionally, but that's a small minority of the time I spend on the site.
RIF for many years, switched to Infinity a year or two ago
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.
Have used various third party apps in the past, won't name, they've never been too bad.
Usually neater and pay homage to the original style of Reddit as a long form text based forum,. From what I've seen, the official Reddit app and front page on desktop has evolved into a Facebook style newsfeed of images and short videos.
Not my jam
Sync, but I already got rid of it and my Reddit stuff.
I'm still using Apollo and am trying to get used to Feddit but it's hard, to be honest. On Reddit I'd know I'd get shittons of downvotes for saying this ;-)

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.
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!
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.
Relay Pro. Stopped going.
Same. I haven't opened the app (or the website itself) since the start of the blackout. As the news has developed, there's less and less reason to.
RIF right until I stopped using reddit.
I used Narwhal for a long time, switched to Apollo a couple of years ago.
I used a 3rd party app for years until last week. The bridge is burned I'm not going back.
I used to use rif. Now, if a search brings me to reddit, I use my web browser, but I haven't directly gone to reddit since the subreddits went dark.
Red Reader is my main app, but I use it a lot less than before because I'm slowly moving to Lemmy. Still on there for now to shitpost where it's been newly allowed.
Have been using Boost for quite a while now, but have used a few over time.
- Boost
- Relay
- Sync
On desktop, always old.reddit.com with RES.
RIF for a few years and Apollo for a few months, since both are going down I don't really have any incentive to stay on Reddit
I just uninstalled BaconReader. Long time user. Deleted the accounts that weren't banned for wrongthink.
I never used a 3rd party app on reddit.
Me. I use Slide for Android, an #openSource one (do we do hashtags here, can't recall!)
