How many of you use a 3rd-party app to browse Reddit?

Relay Pro user for a few years here.

[–] PrinceHabib72@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago

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.

Was using Relay on android for the past like 10 years.

[–] racer983@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Well I did use sync, now using jerboa of course. Would be neat if sync or other apps could be remade for the fedverse. An app that could bridge different fedverse apps more easily like lemmy and mastadon for instance but keep everything easily readable and sortable would be cool.

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[–] kilmister@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I'm looking for a gradual transition from Reddit to Lemmy. To make things easier, I started to use Redreader. Man, I wish I'd done this switch earlier.

Redreader's dev has expressed interest on Lemmy compatibility, so when (if) this happens, I know which app I'll be using.

[–] j4yt33@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

before i quit i used infinity on android and old reddit on desktop

[–] Cinner@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] themizarkshow@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] GiantBasil@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] nlm@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Same here. Still installed but I haven't touched it since.

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

Tried to at least lessen any benefit I might have to them by using a reddit front end to get feeds.

[–] Skiptrace@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

I use Boost on Android.

[–] TheBladeRoden@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Using RIF until it throws errors at me

[–] Caffeinated_Capybara@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I've been using boost for a while now. Just felt right for me.

[–] delcake@lemmy.songsforno.one 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] fell@ma.fellr.net 2 points 2 years ago
[–] hazelnoot@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] kkaosninja@mas.to 2 points 2 years ago

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

Uninstalled it now.

[–] 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.

[–] WhiteBlackGoose@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Such a useless poll

[–] Beeko@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] AceLucario@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't say "currently", but I used to use Infinity.

[–] offthecrossbar@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] HisDufusness@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago
[–] icanflywheniwant@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years 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!

[–] Varyag@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] BReel@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Apollo since day one. When I searched for an app originally, I thought it WAS the official app lol. Now that they're gone, I'm gone.

[–] rs5th@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I was using Apollo before... well... you know, everything.

[–] Meilindis@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I've used Boost for years.

[–] Valdair@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Snowpix@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago

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
