Like the mobile app is really slow. I can click on a post over and over and it won’t show the comments. Also most images don’t seem to show. It seems like they have serious issues in the back end.
I guess, good riddance.

Their app has always been utterly garbage, it’s why I went over to Apollo in the first place.
The content has been dry ever since people switches to other platforms. I think the only subreddits being decent are the niche and the very specific ones.
As someone who never used outside apps (maybe I should have), the mobile app was OK a year ago but it’s barely usable now. I’m unsure if their code base is falling apart or they’re not paying their server cost. But feck it’s bad.
Pretty much every community that participated in that protest blackout is now dead.
All that’s left is cryptofascists and bazinga consumers.
No idea, I haven’t looked back.
The app has always been trash. Idk how people can take using it for long periods of time. When I went back for a bit (during r/place), the deterioration of content was obvious. Don’t take my word for it - even redditors know it’s getting worse. All they have now is the amount of users.
The content is what I notice the most whenever I see reddit r/all now. I’m not sure I have the right words for it, but it has definitely deteriorated. Like, most of the content is aita, rateme, publicfreakout, tiktok videos, etc. Mostly just mindless content, which I enjoy sometimes, but not when that’s all it is.
I didn’t usually use r/all, but I would look at it occasionally and I feel like it used to be better not even that long ago.
The thing I don’t miss from Reddit is the constant nagging.
Visit a subreddit about skydiving for 5 seconds? Suddenly you get skydiving-related suggestions of communities ALL OF THE TIME. Forever.
No, I don’t want to get notifications so I never miss news from this community /Dismiss popup
New notification? Let’s see who posted something! Oh… It’s just a Reddit feature ad. Yes I got it. /Dismiss fake notification.
And on, and on, and on. You can’t spend a quiet 5 minutes reading things that interest you without your flow getting disrupted by pointless attention-grabbers.
That’s something you don’t get on Lemmy: it’s opt-in, not opt-out: unless I look for something, it won’t suggest anything to me or push anything on me that I have to dismiss.
The official reddit mobile app has always been garbage. I only still used it because the third party app I was using was great, great UI, easy to see the content I wanted and not see anything else. Now that the official app is the only option I barely even bother anymore except for going on to check on specific communities once in a while. Casual browsing on the reddit app is just not a good time
It’s not even bad, it’s utter madness.
Have a look at this thread: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/2334796
Paying more because you upvote content? What the heck
IMO old.reddit.com is the only way your should be using Reddit.
I use Reddit ReVanced when I need to pop into a niche community that hasn’t moved elsewhere, and it barely makes it tolerable.
Got any link to that?
