Same here, and then I found Memmy for Lemmy and itβs like I just moved to another state thatβs just like home
Thatβs what I use now!

RIF. Ugh, what a shame.
Boost
I used the official app, but i decided to quit because of all the API debacle.
So now i use Jerboa for Lemmy.
And the same for me as well. I used the official app, and had no issues with it personally. I lurked for the most part but chimed in on subs about some of my favorite shows and questions regarding programming.
Once the shitshow hit the fan, I was already planning my exit from Instagram (hardest one, lots of IRL friends over the years), and had joined mastodon. I actually signed up for lemmy and mastodon about a year prior to the migration, but at the time it was pretty dead. Now, while not as lovely as their corporate counterparts, each has a vibrant enough community that I'm not missing either.

This falls under #4 - it's very similar to other Reddit discussions and I feel like we're just looking back rather than forward.
BaconReader
RedReader, love me some barebones functionality.
Sync because I had huge preference for apps that followed MD3/Material You. I wish it had an inline comment editor for replying in the middle of threads, that was my only missing feature. Slide did the inline editor nicely.
Loved sync, used that app for years and years.
Joey for Reddit ftw
My people :)

I used Sync for Reddit. The dev seems close to releasing the beta of Sync for Lemmy.
Connect for Lemmy has been a very nice alternative, especially after the most recent update. I might be torn once Sync is out.
Apollo. Everyone in my house did. Two have stopped using reddit entirely, I'm still checking on a couple of communities until their counterparts take off here. I'm using Dystopia there now because I'll never, ever download their shitty app.

Me, having never used a reddit app, just the web UI (which, as you can imagine, made me as a mobile user hate reddit more and more over time) ...
Wow, didn't there were so many apps. No wonder you were all upset at the API changes!
Boost for Reddit (And hopefully Lemmy soon)
Relay, then Boost, ended on Infinity.
Infinity
I been using RedReader ever since its beta in 2013 ...
Back when I was on iOS, I started with Alien Blue, then I moved to Apollo when reddit purchased it.
After I switched to android, I settled on Sync and Boost. I used Sync about 90% of the time but I had my alts on Boost and would have different feeds split between the apps. The last few versions of Boost had gotten me to start thinking about using it more but then the API changes were announced.
Relay for Reddit, which was called Reddit News back in the day. I'm aware it still works; dbrady is developing support for subscriptions for those who want that.
I'm going back and forth between Connect and Thunder for Lemmy. Connect seems most like Relay, but they're both good.
Same. I'm still using relay pro until it stops working. Reddit won't see a single cent of subscription money.
Boost and Infinity. Then Teddit and Libreddit for the browser.
Apollo
Slide
Relay Pro
On Android, I used Infinity, moved from Baconreader. On iOS, I used Apollo.
I use Dawn. It still works!
Tell me more. Does it have mod capability? Does it run on Android?
No mod capability, or at least not that I'm aware of. But it does run on Android! https://f-droid.org/packages/me.thanel.dank/
Relay. Besser als boost :p
Apollo
Slide. It was open source and available on f-droid. It had been a while since the last update and some features were long longer working (in-app YouTube Playback). But I would just open in browser things that didn't work.
It was very easy to use and highly customizable, which is why I used it. And zero ads. Can't stand ads of any kind.
Started with Boost, then switched to Infinity because Boost Pro wasn't compatible with CalyxOS.
Slide then Sync
Boost for conversations. Relay for image galleries.
I started out with BaconReader, then I moved over to Sync, then when Sync development slowed down I moved over to Infinity
BaconReader. I didn't shop around. I just downloaded one, liked it enough, and it never gave me reason to go hunting for something different. Unlike the official app, which was one my phone for all of maybe a day.
Sync, then something (I don't remember what) pushed my to Joey)
