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.
I've exclusively used Relay for years until earlier this week. I've popped in a few times to see how things were going. According to my screen time usage app I've used Relay for under 10 minutes this week. Prior to that I was spending anywhere hour plus daily.
RIF, though I haven't visited Reddit in the last week. Call it me training for the 30th
I was using Apollo before... well... you know, everything.
I preferred the /.compact version of Reddit. They disabled it a few months back and all the alternatives suck.

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.
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.

That poll isn't going to get good results because a lot of 3PA users have already left reddit

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.
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.
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.
I just uninstalled BaconReader. Long time user. Deleted the accounts that weren't banned for wrongthink.
RIF was Reddit for me.
RIF for as long as I remember. No more. Sad to see it go. Looking forward to watching this new fediverse community grow.
@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.
10 years on Relay. I've stopped going now.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 ;-)

RedReader, although not so much since Spez started his API stupidity. Personal preference, I like the basic, clean interface, which is also valued for accessibility. Jerboa's interface actually looks quite similar.
Sync, but I already got rid of it and my Reddit stuff.
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!
Infinity!
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.
Apollo for iOS, RiF for Android I've pretty much been off Reddit since the blackout
RiF for 9 years
Sync!
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.
