Relay for Reddit, which was called Reddit News back in the day. I'm aware it still works; dbrady is developing support for subscriptions for those who want that.

I'm going back and forth between Connect and Thunder for Lemmy. Connect seems most like Relay, but they're both good.

Boost and Infinity. Then Teddit and Libreddit for the browser.

Rif. Now using Voyager. It's the closest experience I've found.

Relay. I still use it. It still works.

Slide. It was open source and available on f-droid. It had been a while since the last update and some features were long longer working (in-app YouTube Playback). But I would just open in browser things that didn't work.

It was very easy to use and highly customizable, which is why I used it. And zero ads. Can't stand ads of any kind.

BaconReader. I didn't shop around. I just downloaded one, liked it enough, and it never gave me reason to go hunting for something different. Unlike the official app, which was one my phone for all of maybe a day.

Relay. Besser als boost :p

Relay. And I still miss it. Better than any of the other apps I've tried for reddit or lemmy. Very smart design and UX that made it far more usable and enjoyable.

Back when I was on iOS, I started with Alien Blue, then I moved to Apollo when reddit purchased it.

After I switched to android, I settled on Sync and Boost. I used Sync about 90% of the time but I had my alts on Boost and would have different feeds split between the apps. The last few versions of Boost had gotten me to start thinking about using it more but then the API changes were announced.

Apollo. Now using Narwhal.

Reddit is Fun.

Started with Sync then Boost when I found it. Boost was my favorite of all I tried.

[โ€“] rei@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Slide then Sync

[โ€“] Navarian@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Boost for Reddit (And hopefully Lemmy soon)

[โ€“] frap129@lemmy.maples.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Relay, then Boost, ended on Infinity.

I started out with BaconReader, then I moved over to Sync, then when Sync development slowed down I moved over to Infinity

[โ€“] sojejut@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

Over the years: Baconreader, Boost and Joey.

[โ€“] jetsetdorito@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I was using Relay, but switched to Sync like a month before they killed API

[โ€“] Sendbeer@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Apparently I was the only one that used Relay. Loved it.

Joey, and Boost up until a few years ago.

Sun for reddit.

The developer is porting it over for lemmy
