A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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

I did, Apollo, before leaving Reddit for good. It was the reason why I used Reddit in the first place.

Sync, fantastic app.

I been using Apollo for some time. I'll use it until the end of the month when it goes dark and that will it for daily Reddit browsing.

I was using Comet on iOS

Trying to avoid Reddit at the moment... but Apollo is my go-to on iOS, rif is fun on Android. Both are shutting down at the end of the month so here I am!

I used Apollo for over 5 years. Before that, I had an Android, so I used Baconreader and later Relay. Before THAT, I used Alien Blue.

Ever since the blackout, I have only visited Reddit once. Definitely making Lemmy my primary forum nowadays.

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.

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

Apollo on my iPad and Sync on my Android phone.

I used to use Narwhal app but I don't go to Reddit anymore.

I use Redder on iPad for the last several years. It apparently hasn’t been updated in 2 years, and I have no idea if there is a userbase of any size.

Just bought the Mac version of Redder about two months ago….

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

Not sure if the responses to the poll are skewed, but the vote suggests vastly different numbers than Reddit would lead you to believe

Been on Reddit since 2009ish before they had an app. I used reddit is fun, baconreader, relay and then sync lasted the longest. When I moved to iOS I grabbed Apollo which was the closest experience to sync. I've been off Reddit for over a week now. Deleted my apps, deleted most of my accounts. There's some things I still miss that I haven't found replacement for, namely some niche discussions (wrestling, destiny 2) but I'm sure I'll find something.
