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?

I used to use Narwhal app but I don't go to Reddit anymore.

Sync, fantastic app.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I did, Apollo, before leaving Reddit for good. It was the reason why I used Reddit in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I used Baconreader on Android but I may have subscribed to RSS at one time too. 14 years but not so much recently.

I have used reddit is fun for my entire 6 years on the platform

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, I technically still use Boost, though I haven't really used reddit since the 11th.

I was using Sync for years and years. This month, I deleted all my Reddit accounts. That was a well polished app and I'll definitely miss it, but I'm not really missing Reddit itself.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not currently using Reddit, but I started out with baconreader, and have been using Joey for a few years now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I used Apollo for over 5 years. Before that, I had an Android, so I used Baconreader and later Relay. Before THAT, I used Alien Blue.

Ever since the blackout, I have only visited Reddit once. Definitely making Lemmy my primary forum nowadays.

I use Redder on iPad for the last several years. It apparently hasn’t been updated in 2 years, and I have no idea if there is a userbase of any size.

Just bought the Mac version of Redder about two months ago….

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Me. I use Slide for Android, an #openSource one (do we do hashtags here, can't recall!)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I switched to infinity from slide and I don't even remember why.

I used Apollo on iOS and Sync Pro for Android. Deleted my account of fifteen years though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Used to use Apollo and Reddit sync now switched over to Jeroba for Lemmy (android) and pwa for iPad

Might consider sync for Lemmy after it develops.

I used Apollo until roughly a week ago or so when I started to detach from Reddit. Now it‘s since been uninstalled.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Apollo still works. I will use it until it does not. And then - cold turkey.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My main reason to rush was that I felt disgusted any time I opened it, because I kept seeing comments from people who didn‘t give a fuck and supported spez. I’m used to feeling like shit and doom when browsing Reddit, but disgust was a new one.

So I pulled the plug early and overall, I feel good here now, I can share in some negative news about Reddit which makes me feel less alone and also participate in new and growing communities, it‘s awesome.

Only thing I miss is the app, Apollo was a wonderful app and you could tell a labor of love, RIP. I can see why you might want to use it till its last day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I use Boost

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Former Apollo user here.

[–] dmalteseknight 1 points 1 year ago

I use(d) infinity on android

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Apollo for years. I check in on Reddit occasionally and will until month end.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Never was a heavy user. I was using infinity, uninstalled before api change was announced actually.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Apollo for the past years that I've been on iOS and BaconReader before that on Android
