Reddit's is the official client.

> Defacto: in fact, or in effect, whether by right or not

I think in this case the validity of the word "defacto" depends on your sample population. Apollo is very popular (and a fantastic reddit client, I wish there was an equivalent for HN) but I can't imagine it's marketshare is anywhere close to even 50%. Among tech enthusiasts I'll bet it ranks pretty high. Similar to an app like Overcast. If you poll HN or other tech communities I bet it's well represented but in the broader ecosystem it's a small fish.

Reddit pushes the official client hard from the mobile website. I'm sure its marketshare is huge.

100% agree. Thanks to Safari extensions (and the afore mentioned AMP redirector) you can now jump right into Apollo from a Reddit link and it's the best experience.

I hope the marketshare of the official client is at the very least high enough to prevent them from crippling APIs so third-party clients are gimped, like Twitter has done.

God forbid they add a token limit
