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

I never used a 3rd party app on reddit.

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.

I use Joey, a lesser known but very customizable app for reddit. But I've reduced my participation there.

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 use the Apollo app and wait until the ship sinks…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Apollo (and Alien Blue before that back in the day).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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.

Bought multiple copies of Sync Pro and Ultimate. Apollo was good, RiF was great but Sync Pro was GOD! The GOAT!

Still holding out hope that ljdawson does a sync pro for lemmy. Hope he at least adds a splash page on the 30th explaining why the app no longer works and where to go.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, Relay. Not nearly as much as before the whole API situation, but i still use it occasionally.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wish came true with Sync for Lemmy. If Apollo for Lemmy happened that would be huge too.

I've used Boost for years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I used Joey for about a year but since the blackout it's been uninstalled

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Always used RIF, the stock Reddit app has always been unusably terrible.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Relay Pro (android) use to be the app I've used for reddit, but I uninstalled it at the start of the debacle and will not be returning to reddit for the foreseeable future due to the nature of what reddit has become. It is no longer a community led platform and instead a thing owned by a larger company with leadership that just wants to make money off of the people who use it. I believe the fediverse to be the future of the community that made reddit what it was and that community should not be owned by any one company/organization. There will definitely be growing pains and decisions to be made here on how best to handle so many things, but I have confidence in the community that it will be sorted out and we will get through the growing pains. It will result in a much better platform that will help take us through to the next stage of worldwide community, connectedness, and information sharing.

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Used Reddit is Fun. Obviously not anymore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

Uninstalled it now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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.
