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?

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.

I don't plan to use reddit anymore if I can help it, other than to find specific answers to things. I'll no longer just browse. That said, up until now I exclusively used RiF. I refuse to touch the official app, and use old.reddit and ad blockers.

[–] Beeko@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] racer983@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

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.

Apollo (and Alien Blue before that back in the day).

I've been using boost for a while now. Just felt right for me.

[–] BiggestBulb@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I used Joey for about a year but since the blackout it's been uninstalled

Yes, Relay. Not nearly as much as before the whole API situation, but i still use it occasionally.

[–] AceLucario@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't say "currently", but I used to use Infinity.

[–] Minty@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Sync, but I already got rid of it and my Reddit stuff.

[–] Valdair@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Reddit is Fun back when I was on Android. Apollo once I moved to iOS. I will sorely miss Apollo.

That poll isn't going to get good results because a lot of 3PA users have already left reddit

I used bacon reader for a couple years before switching to relay and staying there for like 10 years or something like that. Tried others here and there but always quickly went back to relay for one reason or another. I'll be sad to see it go

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago

Depends on how "currently" is defined. If it means right now, then no. However, if it means until all this then yes. I used to use redreader before i nuked my accounts and content in protest and came to lemmy full time

[–] Snowpix@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

Always used RIF, the stock Reddit app has always been unusably terrible.

Used to use Apollo, but traded my iphone to get back to Android a week ago. Perfect timing to be honest, haven't been on Reddit since.

[–] ZippyWonderdust@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Former Apollo user here.

[–] delcake@lemmy.songsforno.one 2 points 1 year ago

Slide for Reddit was my app of choice. Now I'm just waiting for my CCPA data export request to come back to me. Once that's done, all the old accounts are going in the shredder.

[–] TacoTime@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

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.
[–] Xenanthropy@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago
[–] Varyag@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yup, that's why I ended up here. Used RIF on my phone, and can only stand Reddit on browser through RES on old.reddit. Gonna lose the RIF at the end of the month, and old.reddit's undeniably approaching death will make me stop going back there too.

[–] kkaosninja@mas.to 2 points 1 year ago

@lostwonder Used to have Infinity for Reddit on my Android.

Uninstalled it now.

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I use Joey, a lesser known but very customizable app for reddit. But I've reduced my participation there.

[–] icanflywheniwant@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Just wanted to ask if Lemmy has an iOS that is not in TestFlight or has its beta full.... Or should we just make one!

[–] rs5th@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I was using Apollo before... well... you know, everything.

[–] fell@ma.fellr.net 2 points 1 year ago
[–] TranceReduction@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Used Reddit is Fun. Obviously not anymore.

[–] tom@lmmy.tvdl.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Back on Android I used sync. Now on iOS I use slide.

[–] hazelnoot@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

RiF, up until a few days ago when I decided to take an indefinite break from Reddit.

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

On Android I used boost and reddit is fun. On iOS I used Apollo. Haven't been browsing reddit since then but did move to setting up an rss for two subreddits to use with feedly.

The two rss I set up being

http://teddit.net/r/buildapcsales/?api&type=rss http://teddit.net/r/gamedeals/?api&type=rss

Tried to at least lessen any benefit I might have to them by using a reddit front end to get feeds.

[–] Larven@feddit.nu 2 points 1 year ago

Sync, fantastic app.

[–] heschlie@lemmy.schlunker.com 2 points 1 year ago

Was using Relay on android for the past like 10 years.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I never used a 3rd party app on reddit.

[–] spacemanspiff@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Relay Pro (android) use to be the app I've used for reddit, but I uninstalled it at the start of the debacle and will not be returning to reddit for the foreseeable future due to the nature of what reddit has become. It is no longer a community lead platform and instead a thing owned by a larger company with leadership that just wants to make money off of the people who use it. I believe the fediverse to be the future of the community that made reddit what it was and that community should not be owned by any one company/organization. There will definitely be growing pains and decisions to be made here on how best to handle so many things, but I have confidence in the community that it will be sorted out and we will get through the growing panins. It will result in a much better platform that will help take us through to the next stage of worldwide community, connectedness, and information sharing.

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

[–] Whimseymimple@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.
