Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.
The reddit app is garbage compared to other offerings. Too bad they fucked the whole API thing for the 3rd party apps

You don't need to care about posters leaving if you don't show content in your app taps forehead
Good god, that content is so awful. Sports, shootings, parenting. So glad we have Lemmy. It feels more like the old internet where it's mostly tech nerd focused.
It truly is garbage
Ooof. I'd rather use old.reddit.com on my phone's browser and that looks like shit. Really looking forward to the Sync for Lemmy app.

At this point you might as well design an app that is 100% ads and give the users a cut of the ad revenue.

I got rid of it 2 years ago for Apollo and tried it again briefly last month.
Somehow it got significantly worse, you can’t even choose how to sort your feed anymore.
Holy fuck, that's what that shit looks like? That is horrible. RIP rif.
Even ignoring the ads, it’s just an astonishingly bad piece of software. It feels like it was written in a weekend by someone who’d just finished reading Programming for Dummies.
It started as alien blue which was actually a good app back in the day. Reddit bought it and enshittified the hell out of it.
