How many of you use a 3rd-party app to browse Reddit?
I use Infinity since its open source
Also available on fdroid (until July 1st, of course)
deleted by creator
Well… Not anymore I don’t
Yeah, seems like this poll is missing an important “I did before leaving Reddit” option.
Same. Used both RIF and Apollo through the years. Haven’t used anything for a week now.
I had grown quite fond of the app Infinity over the past years. I uninstalled it last Sunday. I’ve also deleted all my Reddit content yesterday. Honestly I had thought it would be more painful to see all that go down the drain. But after a week away from Reddit I didn’t even care about any of it anymore.
Honestly I just picked up reading books and it’s so nice
I’m reading a lot more too.
RiF for 10 years.
Same, until they announced it’d be shutting off at the end of the month. Damn shame, but oh well, it beats sticking around waiting for the end.
I’ve always used RiF - it duplicates the desktop layout better than the others, along with so many other features. Wish its developer was moving on to a Lemmy app, but he’s cranking out one for Tildes instead.
I still use it to lurk - the shitstorm over there is quite amusing, read the latest announcement at r/videos. Yes, nothing but John Oliver videos - but the screed this is delivered with is a thing of beauty.
Define “currently”… I still have rif on my phone but I haven’t used Reddit in a week
Yeah, “currently” is the wrong adverb to use. Relay and Boost were common apps I used and pretty much the only means I used to access Reddit. I only touched the desktop web app when I got a web search link.
I use Infinity and have found it to be absolutely excellent. I wish I could continue to use it rather than leave altogether.
I am also a long time infinity user, Jerboa feels fairly similar to me.
Using that too now. Could do with collapsing threads and skipping to next / previous top level comment and I’d be a little happier. But otherwise quite pleased.
What do you mean by collapsing threads? Currently if you clicked on a comment, it should collapse said comment and any children of the comment.
With regards to navigating to the next/previous top level comment, worth putting that as an “issue” on Jerboa’s GitHub as a feature request if one doesn’t exist for this feature already.
Haha, you’re right. I was trying to long press the comment to collapse it. I didn’t think of short tapping it!
Turns out there’s already an open issue on the prev/next buttons: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/542
I mean, kind of…
I use Sync and still have it installed, but now it just aggravates me when I open it. Not because of Sync, but because Reddit is just… bleh.
Maybe I’ll uninstall it later, but I’m tired and lazy. Not like I have a longtime account to delete since I coincidentally did that over a month ago for other reasons.
Do need to delete the one a I made a few weeks ago for NSFW shit. I’m sure Reddit will really miss having that 3 karma account.
This will be an insanely biased poll
I’ve used RIF for nearly 10 years. I can’t stand the current state of the official app. It spends far too much time harassing you with useless notifications/info/recommendations for my taste and it’s a laggy mess.
Sync IS Reddit to me since I haven’t used my desktop for primary browsing of the site in years. It’s a shame Reddit is disappearing shortly.
Yeah, after I started using Sync and they did the redesign, desktop browsing felt so slow. Even old.reddit felt clunky compared to Sync.
Currently? No I deleted my accounts, when I still had them though I used infinity
Use Apollo and now only open/upvote posts and polls about the resistance.
I’ve been using boost for a little over a year. I have not be on since the blackout started.
The Boost developer has been unusually quiet on this entire scenario. It’s possible he might not be shut down?
I got an app update just yesterday that cleaned up visuals a bit. Either they are sticking it out, or wanted to push some stuff out of the pipeline to finish on a high.
Caught me by surprised a bit. Been with Boost ever since release and will be sad if it goes.
Apollo was great while it lasted
Relay is what I use
I use sync but relay is solid
I used Relay too for about 10 years. The dev is trying hard to keep it going and talking about subscription costs. Realistically I can’t imagine anybody will be paying for a 3rd party app even if the option is there.
I’ve already gotten rid of it.
Boost is still my favorite. I’m done after the third party apps are gone. Going to block Reddit in my router to stop me on desktop haha.
