The annoying thing about the app was that it copied Facebook and constantly spammed my feed with subreddits I was not subscribed to. I used an alternative app for a while and that worked ok. It is so annoying when Facebook and the like constantly force you to follow pages and groups you are not interested in.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Thank fuck I said goodbye to that place. A shame to see such a fantastic online community be murdered by capitalists try to squeeze money out of it, but probably inevitable.
The saddest part is it didn't need to be.
Imagine if, instead of going for an IPO and all this, they operated it as a non-profit? If they just tried to be a cool place for users, like it was for 10 or 15 years already.
Instead they have to drain the blood out of it and sell it for parts and wonder why it died.
Same here. I only browse it every now and then to get away from the hyper politics on Lemmy (either extremes are not good for the psyche).
But the quality on reddit is staggeringly low.
The comments don't have the vibe like on lemmy.
I wouldnt call it "hollow" but it's close or adjacent to it. Maybe superficial?
Too bad the non-political/non-technical communities are kinda dead here :/
Literally, any time I have been on there lately (which is much less often) it is very obvious the majority of replies in large communities are bots/AI slop. It is so ridiculous and sad to see what it has become.
None of this would be a issue if the lazy fucks would migrate to other platforms like Lemmy etc, right now this app is very limited compared to all the various subreddits, people need to start making replicas of the popular and niche subreddits and make it easier for people to migrate

on one of the wierdly on one of the firefox forks, it keeps reloading the page making you go back to the top every single time if you backspace, it so bad i had to use the firefox browser again so it wont reload the whole page which forces you to the top of the reddit feed, whicch coincidentally also refreshes and keep showing you different subs.
I like how reddit allows moderators to just ban users with basically no appeal process.
What a great business plan. Allow randoms to decide who gets to keep being a customer
got a lot of accounts banned for ban evation. I can keep making new ones, create a couple of shitposts and you got enough karma to continue where you left
It's hard to make a new account and not get flagged instantly.
You have to change ip address. Email, even the device you use
I can't be bothered anymore so now I just don't use reddit

Oh no, it might take a whole minute.
It will take one reboot of my router or one reset of the WAN-interface.
reddit does have an official onion site
zero fucks given,
Starting to be no fucks given for the users either, the constant enshitifaction is baked in so only masochists are left there.
I browsed a few minutes, seems to work fine in Firefox.
I've never used the mobile site but old.reddit.com works.
Why??? I will tell you my non expert opinion.
Reddit makes money by selling data to advertisement companies. Users that aren't logged in are probably hard to track. They probably have a bunch of untargeted data they can't sell for much.
Reddit does not actually care about the end users experience. They want you to use their site enough to provide them with sellable data. It's like Facebook. Facebook could show you your friends posts in chronological order everyday but instead they throw in all this spam on your feed to keep you on the app. They can see what you're interested in. If all you do is 'like' your friends baby pictures then that data would be hard to sell.
Well on the bright side I found this place
welcome to Lemmy
Fuck Spez, but also, is this is amateur hour?
First off, don't use new Reddit. Second, run Reddit in desktop mode. Third, use a browser like Firefox so you can run RES and UBlock Origin.
Congratz, Reddit as it should be is fully functional on your phone.
on iphone there are no browser extensions except in safart (im keeping this typo) their dogshit browser
they force all browsers to use applewebkit engine
old.reddit works on mobile, but you need 1 Firefox extension the fixes the mobile styling.
And you're using old reddit with RES like the good old days, but on mobile.
i had this perfect on chrome til one day it just went to desktop styling and now i gotta zoom in on every comment
Regardless, they'll still bend over & take it.
Yeah not using the app
