Yeah, seems like this poll is missing an important “I did before leaving Reddit” option.

Same. Used both RIF and Apollo through the years. Haven’t used anything for a week now.

I had grown quite fond of the app Infinity over the past years. I uninstalled it last Sunday. I’ve also deleted all my Reddit content yesterday. Honestly I had thought it would be more painful to see all that go down the drain. But after a week away from Reddit I didn’t even care about any of it anymore.

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.

Define “currently”… I still have rif on my phone but I haven’t used Reddit in a week

Yeah, “currently” is the wrong adverb to use. Relay and Boost were common apps I used and pretty much the only means I used to access Reddit. I only touched the desktop web app when I got a web search link.

I use Infinity and have found it to be absolutely excellent. I wish I could continue to use it rather than leave altogether.

I am also a long time infinity user, Jerboa feels fairly similar to me.

Using that too now. Could do with collapsing threads and skipping to next / previous top level comment and I’d be a little happier. But otherwise quite pleased.

What do you mean by collapsing threads? Currently if you clicked on a comment, it should collapse said comment and any children of the comment.

With regards to navigating to the next/previous top level comment, worth putting that as an “issue” on Jerboa’s GitHub as a feature request if one doesn’t exist for this feature already.
