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

Currently, as in up until the blackout: yes, Baconreader. I used it so exclusively that I only really know reddit as BR shows it to its users and I felt uncomfortable and a bit confused on old and new web reddit. I missed all the “innovations” new Reddit brought, never knew what people were talking about when they mentioned avatars and apparently missed all chats that were ever sent to me because BR would only show messages and comment replies. So without BR, to me there will be no reddit, because I wouldn’t be willing to invest time into getting to know reddits official app. One, because it looks absolutely terrible and two, because I’m tired being treated like this by big corporations. You want to shit all over your user base, you won’t get any of my data or money any more. Simple as that

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 ;-)

The only open question is, whether at least one of the popular apps will transition Lemmy. This should doable since the concept is so similar.

The world needs good Fediverse apps. If they include mastodon, we can say good bye to Musk’s twitter as well.

I used Relay for years until I quit reddit a week ago.
