How many of you use a 3rd-party app to browse Reddit?

      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.

    I use Infinity and have found it to be absolutely excellent. I wish I could continue to use it rather than leave altogether.

      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.

    Sync IS Reddit to me since I haven’t used my desktop for primary browsing of the site in years. It’s a shame Reddit is disappearing shortly.

      Yeah, after I started using Sync and they did the redesign, desktop browsing felt so slow. Even old.reddit felt clunky compared to Sync.

    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’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.

        It’s unfortunate timing. I’m going to give it an overdue glowing review. And hint that a lemmy conversion would be well received.
