I just uninstalled BaconReader. Long time user. Deleted the accounts that weren't banned for wrongthink.

Still have Apollo installed to use it until the last day. Been using less and less thou in recent 1-2 weeks.
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!
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.
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'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 use the Apollo app and wait until the ship sinks…
Well, I technically still use Boost, though I haven't really used reddit since the 11th.
RiF for 9 years
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.
Red Reader is my main app, but I use it a lot less than before because I'm slowly moving to Lemmy. Still on there for now to shitpost where it's been newly allowed.
I used Relay for years until I quit reddit a week ago.
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 as long as I remember. No more. Sad to see it go. Looking forward to watching this new fediverse community grow.
RiF for at least 10 years.
RIF for a few years and Apollo for a few months, since both are going down I don't really have any incentive to stay on Reddit
Used to use Apollo for Reddit (with pro)
@lostwonder Yup, I use Infinity, and I'll keep it installed until it no longer works, but I'm just trying not to use Reddit at all now.
Relay
I have Apollo Ultra, because I really appreciated the work that went into making the app so pleasant. I also was a reddit subscriber for over a decade ( since 2011 ). Already cancelled the subscription, and when Apollo goes dark I think my use of reddit will plummet. Pretty much just browser access with adblock on.
I used to use rif. Now, if a search brings me to reddit, I use my web browser, but I haven't directly gone to reddit since the subreddits went dark.
I use 3: RedReader, Stealth & Relay
Apollo for iOS, RiF for Android I've pretty much been off Reddit since the blackout
Libreddit
Sync!
Yes, Infinity. Actually I used the official Reddit app until all of this hit the news. Then I deleted that app and switched to Infinity. When infinity goes, I'll delete it and I'm done with Reddit except on an alt account on my desktop. And that will just be for correspondence.
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.
Currently, as in up until the blackout: yes, Baconreader. I used it so exclusively that I only really know reddit as BR shows it to its users and I felt uncomfortable and a bit confused on old and new web reddit. I missed all the "innovations" new Reddit brought, never knew what people were talking about when they mentioned avatars and apparently missed all chats that were ever sent to me because BR would only show messages and comment replies. So without BR, to me there will be no reddit, because I wouldn't be willing to invest time into getting to know reddits official app. One, because it looks absolutely terrible and two, because I'm tired being treated like this by big corporations. You want to shit all over your user base, you won't get any of my data or money any more. Simple as that
Boost user here, sad to see it go :(
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.
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.
Naturally.
Used to use Sync pro
Same, for as long as I can remember. Great app.
I am/was using Sync Pro for 9+ years
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.
