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?

Reddit didn't have a third party app (just the compact and mobile interface) when I used it, so I picked up an app and never left.

I mostly use Alien Blue and Apollo, both of which are almost certainly on the chopping block. I tried the official Reddit app for a little bit, but my iPad Mini 2 is too old and slow for it, so it tends to crash almost instantly, or run rather poorly.

On my phone, I started with relay, but moved to Redreader and Infinity, since they were open source, and have better performance compared to Relay. I still keep relay around for the message notifications, since they're better than the other two apps.

Using RIF until it throws errors at me

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

Apollo user here. After this latest direction from Reddit's CEO I left the platform. I am waiting until after June 30th before taking a more permanent action with my Reddit Account. I hope Spez comes to his senses and works with 3rd party devs, but I know this isn't likely to happen.

Slide and now RedReader.

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

Used their own app (Android), never had any issues with it. I tried a few others (like Boost) but found them less user friendly tbh.

Relay Pro user for a few years here.

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.

Apollo on my iPad and Sync on my Android phone.

I’m not on Reddit right now; but I was on Apollo since it came out, feels like about 10y right now.

I was a huge fan of Sync, the Material You implementation was the best on Android, bar none.

I use to use bacon reader but now here I am

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

I'm still using Infinity For Reddit until the app doesn't work anymore.

I been using Libreddit as a webapp and will continue to use it until I can't, I made the switch about 3 months ago and for a site like Reddit that's all that needed.

I used to use Teddit.net and Stealth on F-Droid before the u/spez tomfoolery.

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

I originally started on iOS with Alien Blue waaaay back when, but after swapping to an Android device I swapped to RiF.

Not sure if the responses to the poll are skewed, but the vote suggests vastly different numbers than Reddit would lead you to believe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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

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!

Such a useless poll
