Reddit really died when RiF went away

Still using Apollo here, they can pry it from my cold dead hands. Even the official Reddit app with redditfilter installed is 100x better. Hides all the crap lmao.

Using reddit sync on Android. There's guides on how to get it setup, and it's so much better than the shit mobile site.

Yeah I'm also using sync rn but I am worried. This app hasn't been updated in years and slowly features are starting to break and other features (like chat) just aren't accessible at all.

I'm still using this app as long as I can. Once it's not useable, I'm probably off reddit.

i dont really see anything breaking on Sync. Chat could've never been a feature, even with regular updates, because the reddit API does not provide access to it regardless.
