Technology

I started with RIf for ten first few years and then switched over to Sync. I loved the customization that Sync provides

Well, I did. Now I don’t use Reddit at all. Apollo.

I used Sync up until last week.

Won't be back.

Didn't even know what a 3rd party app was until the protests (never used reddit on my phone to limit the amount of time spent there, and was never very tech savvy).
Left because of other reasons, like a couple mods of communities I love packing up and leaving and the sheer principle of it all.

I used Apollo since it’s inception, and Alien Blue before that. Now I’ve deleted all Reddit apps and exclusively use kbin, for the last week or so.

I wouldn't say currently because I deleted it after moving to Kbin, but I was using RIF for as long as it existed and was a daily Reddit user for over 12 years. I've been happy using Kbin though this past week and have quickly seen subreddits migrating over and a lot more activity just in the past few days.

When I had an iPhone 3+ years ago, Apollo was the only way I interacted with Reddit. Once I switched to Android, I cycled through the choices before settling pretty happily with Boost. I don't intend to access or use Reddit on mobile at all once June 30th rolls around, and after the CEO's public comments since the protest, I don't really want to access it on desktop either.

I used Baconreader, Relay, and in 2014 got Sync pro and have used that ever since.

I stopped using reddit for the blackout and have been trying Jerboa and /kbin since then.

I've used Joey for years. (I've never used the official app.)

I'm not using anything right now and have deleted one of my accounts. I'll be deleting the other one in the next week.

Used to use Sync pro

RIF user of many years. Pissed at Reddit. Although I see the financial motive for the API, the scumbag disingenuous moves have me believing it has jumped the social media shark and I had to move on.

Loved RIF, will miss the niches of Reddit, and this APIcalypse has opened my eyes to the deeper values of Reddit, but change is inevitable though.

Still have Apollo installed to use it until the last day. Been using less and less thou in recent 1-2 weeks.

Relay

I used apollo, but I've not been on it since the protests started. Not going back to Reddit either now

I used Apollo. Now I'm only using it to check whether Christian Selig commented on anything, but nothing more than that.

I plan to nuke my last remaining Reddit account on June 30th.

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 was a RedditIsFun/RiF user when I was mobile but mostly I was a keyboard user on a laptop/desktop.

I was losing interest in Reddit over recent years due to the mobile user influx (terse posters, lots of memes and TXT-speak) but thanks to the last few weeks, I have lost nearly all of my interest in Reddit.

I'm really not a joiner or a protester -- I'm rather pragmatic about all of this stuff. But the fact is that Reddit Inc. has by its actions alienated the users most responsible for making Reddit a thing that I enjoyed. It is already to late to recover from that.

Reddit Inc. could do a 180-degree turn today and it won't matter much. In the rough-and-tumble of all of Reddit Inc.'s self-inflicted nonsense, the users they lost (the heart of Reddits culture and spirt) have discovered life beyond Reddit. It looks doable. A month ago, that was fairly unthinkable. Come back? To what? The main reason for Reddit being compelling to me won't return, leaving behind a rather less-interesting Reddit community. I doubt it will attract me.

To me, this just shortened Reddit's long tail. Reddit was already dying a slow death, but this nonsense has made it faster. My current usage is now a small fraction of what it used to me (I have 100 MB of comments and posts submitted over the past 15 years). My guess is that there will be little left of interest in much shorter time span.

Used Apollo before, now I don't use it.

Currently? No I deleted my accounts, when I still had them though I used infinity

If "currently" means before the debacle (because I don't use Reddit currently): no, I'm primarily a desktop user, I used old Reddit and RES and I don't really have much personal attachment to 3rd party apps (that doesn't mean I won't stand with those who do).

I think that the API issue is more of a symptom of something much more deeply wrong with Reddit, if it wasn't the API it would have been some other breaking point.

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.

RIF was Reddit for me.

I used RiF. Tried a few other apps over the years, but nothing beat the clean, uncluttered UI.

RIF for as long as I remember. No more. Sad to see it go. Looking forward to watching this new fediverse community grow.

RIF right until I stopped using reddit.

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.

RIF for many years, switched to Infinity a year or two ago

I preferred the /.compact version of Reddit. They disabled it a few months back and all the alternatives suck.

I recently bought RIF golden platinum just to give back to the dev, knowing that very soon the app will stop working. I'm hoping the dev could reuse his code and swap out the backend to make a lemmy client of the same caliber. It really is a good app.

Me for about 10 more days or so apparently.

Then it'll just be Jerboa on my phone because I refuse to reinstall that piece of crap official Reddit app entirely. If a Google search takes me to Reddit for an answer I'll just use my browser until they eventually kill that too probably.

Joey for Reddit

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.

RiF for at least 10 years.

Infinity!

I use the Apollo app and wait until the ship sinks…

Apollo until last week. Deleted Reddit account.

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

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.

I used Relay for years until I quit reddit a week ago.

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.

reddit is not fun anymore
