Because I only use web, on mobile and desktop. I can’t live without adblock.

I use a third party app on my phone, and old.reddit on the desktop. Never could get used to ‘new’ and don’t like how the screen real estate is on it. Ad block for the home network AND Ublock Origin on mobile and desktop are a must have for me.

How do you use adblock for the home network?
- nachtigall ( @nachtigall@feddit.de ) English7•2 years ago
Check out pihole or AdGuard Home. They serve as DNS server for your home network and can filter unwanted connections.

Also, https://my.nextdns.io

Also dnsforge.de (though it leaves no room for customization)
- PenguinCoder ( @Penguincoder@beehaw.org ) 4•2 years ago
DNS server ad blocking. I use technitium DNS server for devices on my network. Set up a virtual machine with that or another ad block DNS server like pihole on it, and then point your clients to it. This way it looks up where to find ‘
adserver.com
’ (for example) and gets a response of ‘NOWHERE’. Can’t go to the ad store to show you ads.

Neither. I was banned from /r/Android because I prefer a Google Pixel over a Samsung device (yay, corrupt mods!)
I forgot, and I commented using one of my many alts. I was temporarily suspended from Reddit as a whole for “ban evasion”.
My friends visited, who have Reddit accounts, and when they connected to my WiFi Reddit immediately perma-banned ALL of us, including all of my brand accounts for my company.
Reddit allowing random strangers to essentially get you perma-banned because you prefer a different phone is ridiculous. 🥲

I mostly use Infinity for Reddit (where Jerboa for Lemmy clearly draws a lot of inspiration from)
Sometimes I also use reddit on my PC but the site is horrible there and the old site, while not as buggy, doesn’t look great.
- VioletteRei ( @VioletteRei@beehaw.org ) English7•2 years ago
Same, Infinity is what I stick to, and when it’s gone, i’m gone from Reddit
- VeryAverageChef ( @VeryAverageChef@lemmy.one ) English6•2 years ago
I’m part of the Infinity crew too. I’ve tried so many clients and Infinity just ticks all the boxes for me
- shep ( @shep@midwest.social ) 10•2 years ago
App 98% of the time. If I can’t use Apollo, I won’t use reddit anymore. The website sucks and the official app is garbage now.
- UngodlyAudrey🏳️⚧️ ( @UngodlyAudrey@beehaw.org ) English10•2 years ago
I prefer to do everything in the desktop, so I usually used old reddit with Reddit Enhancement Suite. When I’m out and about, I might scroll reddit a bit on the Boost app for Android. I don’t want to use their official app or new reddit at all.
- schizanon ( @schizanon@kbin.social ) 10•2 years ago
I use the #Infinity app on #Android, it’s on #Fdroid so it’s open source.
- Sander ( @Sander@beehaw.org ) 9•2 years ago
I’ve never used something different than Reddit is Fun (RIF for Fun now, I guess?) on Android for private use and the ‘normal’ web version if I Google something for work and end up on Reddit.
- FartsWithAnAccent ( @FartsWithAnAccent@kbin.social ) 6•2 years ago
Same, I use RIF and old reddit com
- wicked82 [ Ohio ] ( @wicked82@midwest.social ) 9•2 years ago
I use Apollo 99% of the time… ( RIP alien blue ) and old.reddit 1% of the time. I REFUSE to use the official reddit app as it is literal hot garbage and i’d rather have 1,000 root canals than to use it even for a second.
Not thrilled about starting over and finding a new alternative but I’ve done it in the past (RIP Digg) so bring it. I hope reddit burns to the ground for this.
- Gork ( @Gork@beehaw.org ) 9•2 years ago
Reddit is Fun on Android mobile, old.reddit on desktop with RES. The design of new Reddit is atrocious, they only show 3 comments so you have to click more and the ads are obnoxious. The official app is pushed on you as much as possible and is used as the default for opening browser links, even if you tell it otherwise in the device settings. I uninstalled it because it didn’t like coexisting with RiF.

Old.reddit with RES and Apollo on mobile- I hate what they’re doing
- 1993_toyota_camry ( @1993_toyota_camry@beehaw.org ) 8•2 years ago
Apollo when on ios, but mostly via old.reddit on PC.
I comment too much for my own good, and phone keyboards aren’t enjoyable for me.
- grogg ( @grogg@beehaw.org ) 8•2 years ago
old.reddit on desktop is what I use mainly, and Apollo if I’m on mobile
- DJDarren ( @DJDarren@beehaw.org ) 4•2 years ago
Are you me? That’s my exact usage.
- acowley ( @acowley@beehaw.org ) 8•2 years ago
Apollo on iOS and macOS!
- armeck ( @armeck@beehaw.org ) 8•2 years ago
I do both, and when mobile I use Boost on Android. I assume they will also be affected by this so my Reddit time will be reduced quite a bit.
- RealAndGay ( @RealAndGay@beehaw.org ) 3•2 years ago
Finally, I had to scroll too far to find another Boost enjoyer
- anji ( @anji@lemmy.anji.nl ) 8•2 years ago
I mostly use a few different clients on iOS. Not the official one which, like New Reddit, is utterly awful.
Once Lemmy gets a good stable iOS client I will mostly be here, I guess.
- qnm ( @qnm@lemmy.ml ) English3•2 years ago
I’ve just installed Mlem via TestFlight. Worth a look for an iOS Lemmy client.
