I run libreddit, which is basically an alternate front end for reddit, on my own server so that I have a go to.
I'd much prefer to use something like this though where we have choice. :-)

I use Infinity for 90% of my reddit use. It's so good in my opinion that I actually prefer it over the web UI. Makes me wish they supported Lemmy.
Apollo on ipad in landscape mode,. With Apollo I get about 10 items per page, with the reddit app I got 4 and 80% of the screen space is wasted. It is UX cancer. I've cancelled my 5 year reddit gold sub. Reddit can fellate themselves. I'm out.
I use old reddit on the desktop and reddit sync on android.
old reddit with RES on desktop, Infinity for Reddit/Sync for Reddit on mobile. no ads, no chat, no avatars, just plain old text threads.
On desktop I use Libreddit and on mobile I use Infinity
I don't really use it a lot on desktop though
I use old.reddit on Desktop, Infinity on mobile and Apollo on my tablet. When Reddit finally shuts down their API for free users then I will be gone.
I mostly use Apollo, can’t imagine using anything else
I used to browse on the desktop quite a lot, but I switched to mostly using rif over the years. I actually don't even mind the new ui on desktop, it's just that I try to be somewhat productive when sitting at my PC and mostly default to Reddit on the train etc (and at work but pls don't tell anyone)
I access Reddit using Apollo. Primarily on my iPad
Pour one out for the proper Apollo app for iPad probably never launching now.
Well I used to only use Reddit is Fun, but I'm committed to staying here with this new API change.
I'm a bit of an outlier though, as I don't have access to a computer so I'm forced to use mobile.
RedReader! Free, no ads, tons of customization, open source, the absolute bees knees. I just discovered it right before it's apparently gonna get booted like all the rest of the 3rd part apps. >.<
90% of my use is through infinity for reddit. Best reddit client out there for Android imo. I tried boost, joey, rif, sync, relay,... but I keep coming back to Infinity. Gonna miss it so much.
12 year user, mostly browse via Relay for Reddit on phone. But walking away after the API changes. Already starting the process of detoxing and using alternatives.
old reddit on desktop and Apollo on mobile.
I really dislike the trend towards "dynamic" UI (not sure if that's the correct term, but basically New Reddit style vs Old Reddit). Everything using javascript and animations to load looks snazzy, but it just means that everything takes just a little bit longer to load, and that little bit adds up to a lot over time. I just want something simple where I click a link and it just loads, with a decent density where I can see a reasonable amount of information at once without having to click to expand every 2 posts. I'm on a desktop and not a phone for a reason!
I used to use RedReader and Slide for Reddit, but I've mostly given up on my account and currently use Libreddit to view posts anonymously.
Old.reddit on the web during the day and Sync otherwise
Old Reddit on desktop, but that's usually for modding or typing up longer posts. Just browsing I normally do on mobile, through Boost. If I have to mod on mobile, then it's a combination of Slide and RIF.
old.reddit on the web most of the time. I use the fantastic reddplanet app on the go, but I guess that's going to be no app on the go now :/
When I was using Reddit, RSS.
I use just about every website primarily on PC. I'm horrified whenever I hear the phrase "I'm primarily a mobile user," no matter which site it's referring to. How do you people do it? Mobile is trash. I hate touchscreens.
But when I'm mobile, I use Boost. RIP in pieces, I guess.
Long time Joey for Reddit user and the thought of having to experience reddit without it is not something I'm willing to do. I got over a decade from the site, and despite never spending any money there, I've gotten my money's worth.
apollo!
web
RiF and old reddit for me.
I used to use old web with RES, although lately it's just been Boost for Android. If Boost stops working due to API changes, I'm done with reddit on the regular.
For about 2 years I've been using Boost for Reddit android client. Barely used reddit on PC and if when, I've always used uBlock.
Infinity was crazy good. Made a switch about a year ago and going strong until now.
Reddit official app sucks ass so bad.
most of the time i use sync pro, or occasionally old.reddit when i'm on desktop
I use a desktop with adblock for primary usage and prefer Old reddit. I use Apollo on mobile.
Mostly mobile with Rif, desktop only with RES. Not only do I adblock heavily with uBlock, but I've got a piHole at home to filter ad sites via DNS
Mostly use Relay for Reddit Pro.
Web on desktop, Relay on Android, Slide on iOS.
And soon, none on anywhere.
3rd party FOSS app
I browse Reddit 90% of the time on mobile with RedReader, the 10% left are on desktop with browser.
Another RedReader user here. But I split my time between mobile and desktop (old.reddit) more evenly. Something like 60% on desktop and 40% on mobile.
