I use Joey. It wasn't exactly cheap ($10 I think) but I use Google's opinion rewards, so it didn't actually cost me any money.

Am mostly using sync. No ads because I bought it a looong time ago
Primarily web via old.reddit.com. RIF on mobile but used far less than web.
99% of my Reddit time is on Apollo app on mobile.
Old Reddit on desktop, Apollo on iPhone and iPad, and Boost on Android. (Sync and Relay are great, but Boost feels most like Apollo to me.)
old.reddit.com with RES on the desktop, Relay on Android. Don't know what I will do on the toilet if paid-API comes and the clients go. The official one is crap.
@sexy_peach I was (or am currently) using Reddit through Infinity and old.reddit, but have been off and on with the Fediverse since it was first announced Musk might buy Twitter
Now I browse reddit 99% on my phone. I use mostly Sync and (sometimes) Boost.
Mobile on Rif. Rarely desktop.
On Apollo as well. It's the best way to interact with Reddit hands down. I've been seeing reddit's decline for a long time now though so I'm ready to move away from it as much as I can for the most part. Apollo had no ads so it was supreme.
Like 90% RedReader and 10% when I'm at work. This change will be hard but most likely for the best.
Speaking of apps are there any good ones for lemmy on ios? I saw Remmel mentioned but could not for the life of me find it on the US App Store?
You can potentially just use the web app. I know this isn't for everyone, but if you go to Lemmy in the Safari browser app, you can hit the 'share' button. There's an option there to add it to your desktop. At that point, it's kind of like a bookmark that goes on your iOS 'desktop'. It will behave a bit like an app at that point.
Like I said, not perfect, but not as bad as you might think. Just sharing for you and anyone else who may not be aware that this is an option.
That's because the app isn't available yet. Not sure why its being advertised on Lemmy's main site. The developer has made it available only through github
I use old.reddit maybe 20% of the time and the RIF app on android about 80%. If I had the time I'd definitely be trying to build a RIF style app for Lemmy now that I've started to dip my toes in
On my desktop I use old.reddit.com with RES, and on my phone I make extensive use of Relay, which I absolutely adore. It's a pleasure to use.
Apollo app at work and old.reddit with RES at home. My Reddit account is 10 years old. I saw the changes with the algorithm where news didn't make it to the front page of r/all unless sit was huge. I quit posting comments because by the time I'd make it to a post there would already be thousands. Not much community feel left so I think this API change was for the best.
I rarely use reddit directly. I mostly move around libreddit instances to view content and teddit to download videos.
Infinity for reddit if I really really really have to.
I was 100% on Apollo. I can’t stand the extra stuff reddit has been pushing, and with Apollo you didn’t have to see it. I’ll be 100% off reddit after July 1st assuming they do nix third party apps.
Old.reddit on desktop is what I used the most by far. At night I used Boost on mobile.
I only use reddit on PC through the browser client but i'm enjoying lemmy so much I actually dont use reddit that much anymore. Actually, I dont even use social networks a lot lmao
Apollo on mobile 95% of time, rest on browser.
old reddit on web, and RIF on mobile. CANNOT tolerate the new redesign.
I used the official app for one account because I couldn't post videos to reddit in third party apps - woof that was painful.
Old Reddit on web, bacon reader on mobile. I'd say browsing is 80%/20%, and posting is 100%/0%.
75% Sync, 25% old.reddit
99% Bacon reader, 1% old.reddit
I use Reddit solely via the Apollo app, as the website and official app suck terribly. The fat that Reddit is trying to kill off 3rd-party apps is part of the reason I’m here— if they do, I’m leaving Reddit, as i refuse to use the website or their official app.
old.reddit, through Firefox on both desktop and mobile for the same reasons as the OP, the adblocker. Sadly, old.reddit is painful to use on smartphones. Sometimes I just annoy myself off the site.
There was a time I used Reddit is Fun (RIF) but then I realized it was keeping me in reddit for way too long, so I uninstalled it.
Reddit is Fun was my go to. Still browse mostly on old.reddit, but that will likely get killed soon. Hopefully a great alternative like lemmy is what people pick as the big draw for me is the communities that popped up for everything, from broad strokes like r/anime, to focused subs like r/onepunchman
Little bit of both. I used to use Apollo on mobile, but I was one of the unfortunate early users who got screwed over with constant ads later in that apps life which annoyed me SO MUCH OMG so I moved to reddplanet. And I love it! Cannot stand and will never ever again use anything by the Apollo dev. Extremely immoral. But I guess hey what do you expect. Shady devs be shady devs.
I use Apollo exclusively because i hate the website and the official reddit app. If they really do price out 3rd-party developers and apps like Apollo vanish, then I'll be leaving reddit. That's why I'm here. I'm looking for a new home :(
I've only used Reddit through the old web UI for the past two years. Had relay for reddit on my phone before I decided to cut ties with how much of a time sink it had become for me to constantly open the app.
I am mostly a web user, but I'm mostly at my desk, so I only use my phone for calls and texting.
Currently i have a pretty even split between web (old reddit+RES) and mobile (Relay), which looking at the recent API anouncements is going to change next month.
Anyone else like Stealth from F-Droid? I like RIF for moderating, but to scroll through Stealth won me over with no account needed.
I use old reddit (https://old.reddit.com) with ublock origin (no acceptable ads like with adblock). both on desktop and on mobile.
now, i am using Jerboa on Android for lemmy.
RIF on mobile most of the time, old.reddit when on desktop the rest (usually when looking up something with a search engine)
mostly mobile with Boost for Reddit (Android)
