I used Infinity until I deleted my Reddit account in connection with the protests. Now I don't use Reddit at all.

Infinity, FOSS and on FDroid

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.

I used Sync up until last week.

Won't be back.

Did. Libreddit. Now Lemmy only. #FediFTW

I used a 3rd party app for years until last week. The bridge is burned I'm not going back.

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.

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.

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

Me for about 10 more days or so apparently.

Then it'll just be Jerboa on my phone because I refuse to install 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.

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.

RIF was Reddit for me.

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.

10 years on Relay. I've stopped going now.

reddit is not fun anymore

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

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

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 until last week. Deleted Reddit account.

RIF, though I haven't visited Reddit in the last week. Call it me training for the 30th

Infinity!

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

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.

RIF right until I stopped using reddit.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I used Narwhal for a long time, switched to Apollo a couple of years ago.

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.

During my 13.5 years of Reddit, I've used at least these, in possibly this order

• Alien Blue (RIP)
• Bacon Reader
• Reddit is Fun
• Reddit Sync
• Joey, for the last ~6 years

Don't browse Reddit anymore, apps or browser. If I do end up visiting via Google, I use old.reddit.com.

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!

I use Boost on Android.

I've been using Slide basically since I started using Reddit.

It was the only client that fits all my requirement (it being FOSS and in F-droid being the most important one), while having a non-cluttered UI and a good dark theme.

It has basically been a dead project for 2 years but I never had any reason to move away from it.

Well, now that's I'm quitting Reddit, it's a good way to move away from it.

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