With Sync and RIF both set to shut down in less than two weeks, do you find yourself without a trusted Reddit client?

I use Infinity since its open source
Also available on fdroid (until July 1st, of course)
Goodbye, infinity. It was good while it lasted. 🫡
RiF for 10 years.
Same, until they announced it’d be shutting off at the end of the month. Damn shame, but oh well, it beats sticking around waiting for the end.
I’ve always used RiF - it duplicates the desktop layout better than the others, along with so many other features. Wish its developer was moving on to a Lemmy app, but he’s cranking out one for Tildes instead.
I still use it to lurk - the shitstorm over there is quite amusing, read the latest announcement at r/videos. Yes, nothing but John Oliver videos - but the screed this is delivered with is a thing of beauty.
Apollo was great while it lasted
RiF since I found Reddit so many years ago. I’ve tried others but they never stuck.
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.
RiF for several years!
I’ve used both RiF and Sync, and between the two of them I’d probably say Sync was my favorite. I hope both of the devs land on their feet, they produced amazing apps.
Relay. The official app can go fuck itself.
Before all this kerfluffle with the API, I have used Reddit is Fun for mobile for several years. I will be really bummed to see it go.
I use(d) Infinity
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 started with RIf for ten first few years and then switched over to Sync. I loved the customization that Sync provides
I used RIF for over a decade, it did everything I wanted so I never sought out an alternative.
Same here, I wasn’t even familiar with the various other names that came up when the API drama exploded. I didn’t realize there were so many. I’ve never even tried the official app.
I still use old.Reddit on desktop, though I’m now expecting that to go away sooner rather than later and that’ll be the end of Reddit for me. Unless they come up with some whole new unexpectedly awful decision before then that I haven’t even thought of yet.
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.
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.
