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.

Relay Pro user for a few years here.
Sync!
Boost
I'm still using Infinity For Reddit until the app doesn't work anymore.
Relay until the blackout, browser only now since I've uninstalled everything reddit after.
Always used RIF, the stock Reddit app has always been unusably terrible.
I use Boost
My 11 year account has been using nothing but third-party apps for Reddit on mobile. First Narwhal, then Alien Blue, finally Apollo.
RIF, but I won't after the 30th of course. Won't be switching to the main app or using Reddit at all on my phone anymore, just those niche communities that don't have an equivalent on lemmy yet through old.reddit and RES
Apollo user here. After this latest direction from Reddit's CEO I left the platform. I am waiting until after June 30th before taking a more permanent action with my Reddit Account. I hope Spez comes to his senses and works with 3rd party devs, but I know this isn't likely to happen.
I used "Now for Reddit" for 95% of my time on Reddit. Once I discovered it that was it for me. Only dealt with the web if I had no other choice.
Never did web on mobile.
I've bounced around through a couple different apps over my almost 14 years on that site. I never loved the official app.
- RiF
- Sync
- Apollo (for my Apple devices)
- Relay, though has been my go to for the past years though.
I supidly used the official app despite it's blatant flaws. Out of spite I switched to RIF up until the blackouts.
Apollo user here.
before i quit i used infinity on android and old reddit on desktop
I used to use Teddit.net and Stealth on F-Droid before the u/spez tomfoolery.
I have used reddit is fun for my entire 6 years on the platform
Me. I use Slide for Android, an #openSource one (do we do hashtags here, can't recall!)
Former Apollo user here.
I used Apollo until roughly a week ago or so when I started to detach from Reddit. Now it‘s since been uninstalled.
Apollo still works. I will use it until it does not. And then - cold turkey.

Used to use Apollo and Reddit sync now switched over to Jeroba for Lemmy (android) and pwa for iPad
Might consider sync for Lemmy after it develops.
I used Baconreader on Android but I may have subscribed to RSS at one time too. 14 years but not so much recently.
Such a useless poll
Reddit didn't have a third party app (just the compact and mobile interface) when I used it, so I picked up an app and never left.
I mostly use Alien Blue and Apollo, both of which are almost certainly on the chopping block. I tried the official Reddit app for a little bit, but my iPad Mini 2 is too old and slow for it, so it tends to crash almost instantly, or run rather poorly.
On my phone, I started with relay, but moved to Redreader and Infinity, since they were open source, and have better performance compared to Relay. I still keep relay around for the message notifications, since they're better than the other two apps.
I’m not on Reddit right now; but I was on Apollo since it came out, feels like about 10y right now.
Apollo for years. I check in on Reddit occasionally and will until month end.
Same. I opened the Reddit native app during this whole controversy and it is so much worse. Not even because of the UI, but because of the frequent and sneaky ads between posts and comments. It’s just a worse / capitalist nightmare experience.
I been using Libreddit as a webapp and will continue to use it until I can't, I made the switch about 3 months ago and for a site like Reddit that's all that needed.
I only used the official Reddit app when reading Reddit on my phone. It was quite annoying to write posts with the app, but reading them was fine. I prefered using the website on my laptop though.
