Because I only use web, on mobile and desktop. I can't live without adblock.

RiF and old reddit for me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Old.reddit on the web during the day and Sync otherwise

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I used to browse on the desktop quite a lot, but I switched to mostly using rif over the years. I actually don't even mind the new ui on desktop, it's just that I try to be somewhat productive when sitting at my PC and mostly default to Reddit on the train etc (and at work but pls don't tell anyone)

Apollo on ipad in landscape mode,. With Apollo I get about 10 items per page, with the reddit app I got 4 and 80% of the screen space is wasted. It is UX cancer. I've cancelled my 5 year reddit gold sub. Reddit can fellate themselves. I'm out.

90% of my use is through infinity for reddit. Best reddit client out there for Android imo. I tried boost, joey, rif, sync, relay,... but I keep coming back to Infinity. Gonna miss it so much.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I use old reddit on desktop mainly. Probably 60-70% of my redditing is on desktop. The other 30-40% is on mobile, via Apollo on iOS.

Anyway, 99% of my modding is done on desktop. And 99% of that is on old reddit. New reddit does have some nice features for modding that I use every once in awhile. I've tried to switch to new reddit a handful of times (just for my own general browsing), but I could never stick with it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Mostly via Apollo (app). The webpage is ok. I use it occacially. The Reddit native app is crap. I don't even have it installed (anymore).

If Apollo ceases to work, I will delete my Reddit account.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Well I used to only use Reddit is Fun, but I'm committed to staying here with this new API change.

I'm a bit of an outlier though, as I don't have access to a computer so I'm forced to use mobile.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

old reddit with RES on desktop, Infinity for Reddit/Sync for Reddit on mobile. no ads, no chat, no avatars, just plain old text threads.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I access Reddit using Apollo. Primarily on my iPad

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Pour one out for the proper Apollo app for iPad probably never launching now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

RedReader! Free, no ads, tons of customization, open source, the absolute bees knees. I just discovered it right before it's apparently gonna get booted like all the rest of the 3rd part apps. >.<

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At home I use the web...away from home I use Apollo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Same here, but once Apollo is no more, I’ll probably won’t use Reddit on mobile anymore. Their own client is so bad.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Old Reddit on desktop, Apollo on iPhone and iPad, and Boost on Android. (Sync and Relay are great, but Boost feels most like Apollo to me.)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I used to use old web with RES, although lately it's just been Boost for Android. If Boost stops working due to API changes, I'm done with reddit on the regular.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Web on desktop, Relay on Android, Slide on iOS.

And soon, none on anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

old.reddit.com with RES on the desktop, Relay on Android. Don't know what I will do on the toilet if paid-API comes and the clients go. The official one is crap.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

@sexy_peach Neither anymore :)

Long time Joey for Reddit user and the thought of having to experience reddit without it is not something I'm willing to do. I got over a decade from the site, and despite never spending any money there, I've gotten my money's worth.

old reddit on web, and RIF on mobile. CANNOT tolerate the new redesign.

I used the official app for one account because I couldn't post videos to reddit in third party apps - woof that was painful.

For about 2 years I've been using Boost for Reddit android client. Barely used reddit on PC and if when, I've always used uBlock.

Infinity was crazy good. Made a switch about a year ago and going strong until now.

Reddit official app sucks ass so bad.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

On desktop I use Libreddit and on mobile I use Infinity

I don't really use it a lot on desktop though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I mostly use Apollo, can’t imagine using anything else

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I use a desktop with adblock for primary usage and prefer Old reddit. I use Apollo on mobile.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Now I browse reddit 99% on my phone. I use mostly Sync and (sometimes) Boost.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Mobile on Rif. Rarely desktop.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

On Apollo as well. It's the best way to interact with Reddit hands down. I've been seeing reddit's decline for a long time now though so I'm ready to move away from it as much as I can for the most part. Apollo had no ads so it was supreme.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I use just about every website primarily on PC. I'm horrified whenever I hear the phrase "I'm primarily a mobile user," no matter which site it's referring to. How do you people do it? Mobile is trash. I hate touchscreens.

But when I'm mobile, I use Boost. RIP in pieces, I guess.

Like 90% RedReader and 10% when I'm at work. This change will be hard but most likely for the best.

@sexy_peach I was (or am currently) using Reddit through Infinity and old.reddit, but have been off and on with the Fediverse since it was first announced Musk might buy Twitter

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Primarily web via old.reddit.com. RIF on mobile but used far less than web.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Reddit Sync app for mobile. Not so much posting but browsing easily. Was worth supporting it for the removal of ads as well as a clean and customizable UI. Will miss it when Reddit kills third-party apps.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Mostly use Relay for Reddit Pro.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I use Joey. It wasn't exactly cheap ($10 I think) but I use Google's opinion rewards, so it didn't actually cost me any money.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I browse Reddit 90% of the time on mobile with RedReader, the 10% left are on desktop with browser.

I use Infinity for 90% of my reddit use. It's so good in my opinion that I actually prefer it over the web UI. Makes me wish they supported Lemmy.
