Sync all the way

I was using Apollo before… well… you know, everything.

I was a RedditIsFun/RiF user when I was mobile but mostly I was a keyboard user on a laptop/desktop.

I was losing interest in Reddit over recent years due to the mobile user influx (terse posters, lots of memes and TXT-speak) but thanks to the last few weeks, I have lost nearly all of my interest in Reddit.

I’m really not a joiner or a protester – I’m rather pragmatic about all of this stuff. But the fact is that Reddit Inc. has by its actions alienated the users most responsible for making Reddit a thing that I enjoyed. It is already to late to recover from that.

Reddit Inc. could do a 180-degree turn today and it won’t matter much. In the rough-and-tumble of all of Reddit Inc.'s self-inflicted nonsense, the users they lost (the heart of Reddits culture and spirt) have discovered life beyond Reddit. It looks doable. A month ago, that was fairly unthinkable. Come back? To what? The main reason for Reddit being compelling to me won’t return, leaving behind a rather less-interesting Reddit community. I doubt it will attract me.

To me, this just shortened Reddit’s long tail. Reddit was already dying a slow death, but this nonsense has made it faster. My current usage is now a small fraction of what it used to me (I have 100 MB of comments and posts submitted over the past 15 years). My guess is that there will be little left of interest in much shorter time span.

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.

Infinity, FOSS and on FDroid

RIF, though I haven’t visited Reddit in the last week. Call it me training for the 30th

Boost is still my favorite. I’m done after the third party apps are gone. Going to block Reddit in my router to stop me on desktop haha.

infinity

During my 13.5 years of Reddit, I’ve used at least these, in possibly this order

• Alien Blue (RIP)
• Bacon Reader
• Reddit is Fun
• Reddit Sync
• Joey, for the last ~6 years

Don’t browse Reddit anymore, apps or browser. If I do end up visiting via Google, I use old.reddit.com.

I wouldn’t say “currently”, but I used to use Infinity.

Just wanted to ask if Lemmy has an iOS that is not in TestFlight or has its beta full… Or should we just make one!

Apollo since day one. When I searched for an app originally, I thought it WAS the official app lol. Now that they’re gone, I’m gone.

Never was a heavy user. I was using infinity, uninstalled before api change was announced actually.

Reddit is Fun back when I was on Android. Apollo once I moved to iOS. I will sorely miss Apollo.

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.
