Not trying to sound like La Palice but in all the articles and posts about this issue, they seem to miss the core of what is making users mad (the mods fight is different, although in the same direction, but solvable).

The thing to the user who’s generating content and not only swiping their finger is: they don’t want to experience Reddit as other users experience Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or Twitter. They follow issues, not people. If you get in the middle of this relationship between the anonymous user and their discussion on an issue, with your tricks to track them, to show them your promoted content, etc. you’ll be told to fuck off.

There’s nothing to improve in the Reddit Official App. Everybody hates the principles it’s created on, much ahead of the poor design choices and lack of features. That’s what’s being taken from us, by hijacking third-party apps: the possibility to focus strictly on what’s being discussed.
