I had restarted using apps because the mobile webpage had become toxic with pushing me to the official app that I knew from reputation was toxic for UI. It kept forgetting where I was and reloading the whole page, uncompacting the threads I’d finished reading.
Reddit quite deliberately drove me off the mobile web interface, I just didn’t go where they wanted, just to boost and bacon reader. I’ll see if they still work tomorrow, but I’m enjoying using lemmy more, because it seems to be where all the sane people who like good conversation went.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
I just saw somewhere on lemmy an announcement about an iOS app for lemmy to be published shortly called Artemis (as in Apollo’s sibling). Hope that will be useful for you!
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.

ReddPlanet for me the perfect Reddit app.
I have used Boost on Android for years.

Same here, Boost has been my ride or die app for ages now. :(
The new update is gorgeous. Shame.
It’s unfortunate timing. I’m going to give it an overdue glowing review. And hint that a lemmy conversion would be well received.
I used Relay for years until I quit reddit a week ago.

I am/was using Sync Pro for 9+ years
I mean, kind of…

Not my jam
I used Baconreader on Android but I may have subscribed to RSS at one time too. 14 years but not so much recently.
Apollo all the way, sad to see it go
is it FOSS?
I can’t be the first to ask, but apollo for lemmy? 🙏

One can hope, I’m keen to support whatever Christian builds next, but I think he’s not been super committal about his next moves
I’m still using Infinity For Reddit until the app doesn’t work anymore.
Such a useless poll

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