    I expect the bigger test will be when the API changes go into effect and third-party apps become unusable.

    Personally, I have no plans or intention to use the native Reddit app. I may still browse the site on my desktop from time to time, but I’m intentionally making the shift to Lemmy as my go-to for mobile use… I’ll be happy when third-party apps for Lemmy are a little more stable and reliable so I don’t have to go through a mobile browser.

      Same. Reddit without Boost or other third party apps is borderline unusable. The official app is an ad- and telemetry infested piece of garbage, but if you are planning on selling user data, I guess that helps.

      I still visit Reddit on desktop during work, it’s often the top Google result for some of my niche questions, but on the other hand I’m pretty glad to have my year long death scrolling behavior cured.

      I don’t use Reddit on mobile anymore and Lemmy is simply not convenient enough with Jerboa’s early stage of development, which means I spend about 90% less time using these apps compared to Boost. My productivity has skyrocketed.

        More than sync, at least another dozen or so clients. The dev environment here is booming, which is why I am here and not on Reddit.

      I can’t use the official app even if I wanted to. Most of my use is on LineageOS sans gapps. And with old.reddit.com gone I will be locked out completely.

        old reddit was confirmed to stay, but with how things have went it is looking hard to believe it will be for too long

            That would definitely be the day I stopped checking in. New reddit looks a lot like what they changed digg into, and is about as useful.
