I’ve made my choice
I even tried being a good little product and subjected myself to using the official reddit app.
Absolute worst experience with an app I’ve ever had. Honestly couldn’t even use reddit now even if I wanted to.
Same. I went back for r/place and to comment a few more “fuck u/spez” in posts, and it’s hilarious how bad the app still is. Still slow. Videos randomly won’t play. There are even times when all you can do when tapping the video is see a still image of it and can’t even get into the post/thread. They just really don’t give a fuck about the app except as a vehicle for ads. Smh.
Relay for reddit works. It’s what I’m using to browse reddit.

I mean, old.reddit.com exists… for now anyways.
Choose wisely
Preaching to the choir
I just uninstalled RIF, I was keeping it just because. I tried to open it and nothing loaded, anyway, it has been lemmy only for me since july.
I don’t know what happened to my rif app, but mine disappeared from my phone without me deleting It.
If you have a Samsung, their OS will remove apps after so long without being used. There’s an option to turn that off, which I do after it cleans out all the Samsung junk that I won’t use.
Use Lemmy and third party Reddit app while waiting for third party Reddit app to go dark. Then just use Lemmy
Which 3fd party Reddit App is still working?
Last I knew, Relay was switching to a subscription model, though I don’t know if that’s the one they were referring to.
Still using Joey. It works if you’re a mod and anyone can be a mod. Not sure how long it will last though
Then make an account or two and go all in on Lemmy.
Yeah the Lemmy apps are lightning fast compared to the official Reddit app. I’m really giving up on Reddit soon.
What is your preferred lemmy app?
Sync is so smooth and responsive… and also the one only one with proper tablet support afaik
Voyager is also great. Was using that earlier.

For iOS memmy, for android voyager, connect, or sync. Mlem and voyager are also good on iOS but neither are developed as fast as memmy
I use Thunder :)
im liking voyager rn
When the jerboa was crashing right after opening it. That was a better experience than using the official Reddit app. And since 99% of my time on Reddit was spent on mobile devices, I‘m not going back there.
Oh look it’s this tired meme that was just posted 15 minutes earlier
Yes, it is.
Sync made the switch so much more bearable!

this a one way street in my books
Streets ahead
Here, here!
Reddit is fun croaked for me last week, now I’m all Lemmy!
Unless lemmy crashes, then I lurk reddit signed out with browser.
As the crashes and maintenance here become less frequent and the platform is more reliable I’m ready to leave reddit in the dust entirely
Lemmy doesn’t crash, the .world server does. Just use a smaller instance like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee
Jerboa, the official lemmy app, crashes in a new way every update.
YE XD
I just use both. The official reddit app isnt even that bad, hate me all you want. Still is a shit company though
