There's no way this poll is accurate. Just looking at the Play Store the official app has 100M+ downloads. The bext closest, rif, has 5M+. I think people underestimate how many casual users go straight to the official app and don't care about any of this is.
Technology
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I used a 3rd party app for years until last week. The bridge is burned I'm not going back.
I used Baconreader, Relay, and in 2014 got Sync pro and have used that ever since.
I stopped using reddit for the blackout and have been trying Jerboa and /kbin since then.
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.
I was using rif for years, I don't see myself ever downloading the reddit app partly because it sucks but now I have a bad taste in my mouth after all this. If they had of just improved their own app and left the third party ones alone I probably would have used it.
Infinity, FOSS and on FDroid
Used Apollo before, now I don't use it.
I used Infinity until I deleted my Reddit account in connection with the protests. Now I don't use Reddit at all.
Same here. Infinity was my go-to.
Apollo. So no more reddit for me when the app shuts down officially.
I wish Christian would made an Apollo-like app for the Fediverse.
Me for about 10 more days or so apparently.
Then it'll just be Jerboa on my phone because I refuse to reinstall that piece of crap official Reddit app entirely. If a Google search takes me to Reddit for an answer I'll just use my browser until they eventually kill that too probably.
I've used Joey for years. (I've never used the official app.)
I'm not using anything right now and have deleted one of my accounts. I'll be deleting the other one in the next week.
I wouldn't say currently because I deleted it after moving to Kbin, but I was using RIF for as long as it existed and was a daily Reddit user for over 12 years. I've been happy using Kbin though this past week and have quickly seen subreddits migrating over and a lot more activity just in the past few days.
I started with RIf for ten first few years and then switched over to Sync. I loved the customization that Sync provides
reddit is not fun anymore
RIF user of many years. Pissed at Reddit. Although I see the financial motive for the API, the scumbag disingenuous moves have me believing it has jumped the social media shark and I had to move on.
Loved RIF, will miss the niches of Reddit, and this APIcalypse has opened my eyes to the deeper values of Reddit, but change is inevitable though.
Depends on how "currently" is defined. If it means right now, then no. However, if it means until all this then yes. I used to use redreader before i nuked my accounts and content in protest and came to lemmy full time
Yes, Relay. Not nearly as much as before the whole API situation, but i still use it occasionally.
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.
When I was using Reddit, I used RIF.
I used Sync up until last week.
Won't be back.
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.
RIF was Reddit for me.
I used Narwhal for a long time, switched to Apollo a couple of years ago.
I preferred the /.compact version of Reddit. They disabled it a few months back and all the alternatives suck.
Apollo until last week. Deleted Reddit account.
I used Apollo. Now I'm only using it to check whether Christian Selig commented on anything, but nothing more than that.
I plan to nuke my last remaining Reddit account on June 30th.
Apollo for iOS, RiF for Android I've pretty much been off Reddit since the blackout
I used RiF. Tried a few other apps over the years, but nothing beat the clean, uncluttered UI.
Relay
I use 3: RedReader, Stealth & Relay
I've been using Slide basically since I started using Reddit.
It was the only client that fits all my requirement (it being FOSS and in F-droid being the most important one), while having a non-cluttered UI and a good dark theme.
It has basically been a dead project for 2 years but I never had any reason to move away from it.
Well, now that's I'm quitting Reddit, it's a good way to move away from it.
I've exclusively used Relay for years until earlier this week. I've popped in a few times to see how things were going. According to my screen time usage app I've used Relay for under 10 minutes this week. Prior to that I was spending anywhere hour plus daily.
RIF right until I stopped using reddit.
RiF for at least 10 years.
I use Boost on Android.
I used Relay for years until I quit reddit a week ago.
I am/was using Sync Pro for 9+ years
RedReader, although not so much since Spez started his API stupidity. Personal preference, I like the basic, clean interface, which is also valued for accessibility. Jerboa's interface actually looks quite similar.
Well, I did. Now I don’t use Reddit at all. Apollo.
