I use the Apollo app and wait until the ship sinks…

I just uninstalled BaconReader. Long time user. Deleted the accounts that weren't banned for wrongthink.
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.
I am/was using Sync Pro for 9+ years
Naturally.
Joey for Reddit
Hey, another Joey user.
Nice.
Usually doesn't get mentioned when people talk about third party apps.

I used RIF for years. Originally I installed the official app, but it was so bad I sought out alternatives.
For desktop I used the old.reddit site (the redesign was terrible!) I genuinely don't know how people can use the new look desktop site.
Used to use Apollo for Reddit (with pro)
Apollo for iOS, RiF for Android I've pretty much been off Reddit since the blackout
I don't plan to use reddit anymore if I can help it, other than to find specific answers to things. I'll no longer just browse. That said, up until now I exclusively used RiF. I refuse to touch the official app, and use old.reddit and ad blockers.
I was on digg but was slow to get on Reddit. Wasn’t until Apollo that it became regular part of my daily routine. Without the app I wouldn’t have been as engaged.
RIF for as long as I remember. No more. Sad to see it go. Looking forward to watching this new fediverse community grow.
RIF for a few years and Apollo for a few months, since both are going down I don't really have any incentive to stay on Reddit
I've exclusively used Relay for years until earlier this week. I've popped in a few times to see how things were going. According to my screen time usage app I've used Relay for under 10 minutes this week. Prior to that I was spending anywhere hour plus daily.
@lostwonder Yup, I use Infinity, and I'll keep it installed until it no longer works, but I'm just trying not to use Reddit at all now.
Relay Pro. Stopped going.
Same. I haven't opened the app (or the website itself) since the start of the blackout. As the news has developed, there's less and less reason to.
Used to use Apollo, but traded my iphone to get back to Android a week ago. Perfect timing to be honest, haven't been on Reddit since.
Boost on android and Apollo on my iPad. Absolutely fantastic apps that made the experience so much better. I don't even remember the last time I used the ofifical reddit app. Though, I haven't used reddit since the blackout began.
I'm still using Apollo and am trying to get used to Feddit but it's hard, to be honest. On Reddit I'd know I'd get shittons of downvotes for saying this ;-)

I preferred the /.compact version of Reddit. They disabled it a few months back and all the alternatives suck.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!
No seriously, .compact reddit on my phone and old.reddit with RES on my desktop were all I ever wanted. They haven't gotten rid of old reddit YET but I can see the proverbial writing on the wall.
I use 3: RedReader, Stealth & Relay
Yes, Relay. Not nearly as much as before the whole API situation, but i still use it occasionally.
Apollo. So no more reddit for me when the app shuts down officially.
I wish Christian would made an Apollo-like app for the Fediverse.
Right there with you. The thing is, I've been trying to kick the habit for years now. Huffman is doing me and millions of others a favour here. I'll probably still log in online occasionally, but that's a small minority of the time I spend on the site.
RIF right until I stopped using reddit.
10 years on Relay. I've stopped going now.
I used to use rif. Now, if a search brings me to reddit, I use my web browser, but I haven't directly gone to reddit since the subreddits went dark.
I have Apollo Ultra, because I really appreciated the work that went into making the app so pleasant. I also was a reddit subscriber for over a decade ( since 2011 ). Already cancelled the subscription, and when Apollo goes dark I think my use of reddit will plummet. Pretty much just browser access with adblock on.
Sync!
I used to use Boost, I stopped when they banned the community showing how to switch to kbin.

I used to, Joey. It was a little rough around the edges but it was cheap and had no ads. I stopped using in January because I wanted to spend less time on Reddit in general - the site on mobile Firefox sure helped to keep me away :^)
Now I'm gone for good tho - thanks spez for helping me quit!
Have used various third party apps in the past, won't name, they've never been too bad.
Usually neater and pay homage to the original style of Reddit as a long form text based forum,. From what I've seen, the official Reddit app and front page on desktop has evolved into a Facebook style newsfeed of images and short videos.
Not my jam
Red Reader is my main app, but I use it a lot less than before because I'm slowly moving to Lemmy. Still on there for now to shitpost where it's been newly allowed.
Libreddit
Have been using Boost for quite a while now, but have used a few over time.
- Boost
- Relay
- Sync
On desktop, always old.reddit.com with RES.--
