How many of you use a 3rd-party app to browse Reddit?
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.
I use Infinity since its open source
Also available on fdroid (until July 1st, of course)
deleted by creator
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 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.
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
Use Apollo and now only open/upvote posts and polls about the resistance.
I have used Boost on Android for years.
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 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.
Same here, Boost has been my ride or die app for ages now. :(
Apollo was great while it lasted
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’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.
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.
I use(d) Infinity
I used apollo, but I’ve not been on it since the protests started. Not going back to Reddit either now
Before all this kerfluffle with the API, I have used Reddit is Fun for mobile for several years. I will be really bummed to see it go.
I used too. Paid for Apollo until Christian started spamming ads for ultra and went back on his word that subscriptions were only to cover ongoing costs like servers for notifications.
So I went to ReddPlanet. Who’s also shutting down.
I haven’t been on Reddit in about a week though. I’m not too keen on the lemmy devs stances politically and will probably move to kbin when the documentation and setup gets fleshed out better.
