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.
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.
I used Infinity until I deleted my Reddit account in connection with the protests. Now I don't use Reddit at all.
During my 13.5 years of Reddit, I've used at least these, in possibly this order
Don't browse Reddit anymore, apps or browser. If I do end up visiting via Google, I use old.reddit.com.
Relay
RIF for many years, switched to Infinity a year or two ago
reddit is not fun anymore
I was using rif for years, I don't see myself ever downloading the reddit app partly because it sucks but now I have a bad taste in my mouth after all this. If they had of just improved their own app and left the third party ones alone I probably would have used it.
I used Apollo since it’s inception, and Alien Blue before that. Now I’ve deleted all Reddit apps and exclusively use kbin, for the last week or so.
I wouldn't say currently because I deleted it after moving to Kbin, but I was using RIF for as long as it existed and was a daily Reddit user for over 12 years. I've been happy using Kbin though this past week and have quickly seen subreddits migrating over and a lot more activity just in the past few days.
Well, I did. Now I don’t use Reddit at all. Apollo.
Me for about 10 more days or so apparently.
Then it'll just be Jerboa on my phone because I refuse to reinstall that piece of crap official Reddit app entirely. If a Google search takes me to Reddit for an answer I'll just use my browser until they eventually kill that too probably.
I've been using Slide basically since I started using Reddit.
It was the only client that fits all my requirement (it being FOSS and in F-droid being the most important one), while having a non-cluttered UI and a good dark theme.
It has basically been a dead project for 2 years but I never had any reason to move away from it.
Well, now that's I'm quitting Reddit, it's a good way to move away from it.
Used Apollo before, now I don't use it.
I preferred the /.compact version of Reddit. They disabled it a few months back and all the alternatives suck.
Apollo until last week. Deleted Reddit account.
I am/was using Sync Pro for 9+ years
RIF for as long as I remember. No more. Sad to see it go. Looking forward to watching this new fediverse community grow.
I used Apollo. Now I'm only using it to check whether Christian Selig commented on anything, but nothing more than that.
I plan to nuke my last remaining Reddit account on June 30th.
Infinity!
I've used Joey for years. (I've never used the official app.)
I'm not using anything right now and have deleted one of my accounts. I'll be deleting the other one in the next week.
I use Boost on Android.
RiF for several years!
Currently? No I deleted my accounts, when I still had them though I used infinity
Yes, Relay. Not nearly as much as before the whole API situation, but i still use it occasionally.
Used to use Apollo for Reddit (with pro)
I used Narwhal for a long time, switched to Apollo a couple of years ago.
I've used RedReader for many years. When the api changes were announced I was certain I would never use reddit before, as I usually browse it on the phone. I still want to migrate away from reddit fully, but since RedReader has an api exception it's going to be more difficult to break my addiction.
Apollo forever till the blackout. Replaced the apollo spot with Mlem to keep my muscle memory from screwing over my desire to not support the reddit changes.
RiF for 9 years
I used Relay for years until I quit reddit a week ago.
RIF, though I haven't visited Reddit in the last week. Call it me training for the 30th
