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. :-)
Am mostly using sync. No ads because I bought it a looong time ago
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.
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.
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.
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.
most of the time i use sync pro, or occasionally old.reddit when i'm on desktop

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.
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 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.
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'd say 85% Apollo, 15% web using the old interface.
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.
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'm mostly on Infinity. I won't lie, I enjoy the lack of ads. I think there's more to it though. The Reddit app never really felt right.
I use the web site both on desktop and mobile devices
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.
RiF on Android. As far as I'm concerned that's the only way to browse Reddit
I am mostly a web user, but I'm mostly at my desk, so I only use my phone for calls and texting.
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.
75% Sync, 25% old.reddit
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.
Old Reddit on web, bacon reader on mobile. I'd say browsing is 80%/20%, and posting is 100%/0%.
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.
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.
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
Old.reddit on desktop is what I used the most by far. At night I used Boost on mobile.
Apollo on mobile 95% of time, rest on browser.
I use web with adblock then Apollo on mobile. Sad times, saying reddit doesn't reneg, as the majority of my usage is on mobile. So many years spent within communities but it may just be time to move on!
