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.

I'd rather take the barely functioning lemmy apps over the invasive adds of the reddit app
They said you can patch out the ads using revanced manager, but I'm not going to try it.
Babe charge your phone you're making me nervous
why do you think sites want you to use apps so badly? To get around browser ad blockers.
Thanks for saving me that install. Been loving Connect for Lemmy anyway
Baconreader was a perfect app in every regard
Gross
🤢🤮
If you are on Android and have to use the official app, I recommend patching it with Revanced Manager. There's a patch that will remove the ads.
I hadn't used anything except my account logged in through RiF for 13 years. When I checked the front page as a guest I realized finally just how bad reddit is. All the posts were hot garbage surrounded by ads. I honestly don't know how people use reddit now.
Something I liked about the official app, that no other seemed to have, was the ability to flip through posts, one to the next, without having to return to your feed. If anyone knows of a Lemmy app that can do this, let me know please!
The official reddit app would frequently not load images/posts/comments etc or even sometimes fully stop loading anything at all. I have never had these kind of issues with the third party apps, or much of any other apps of any type for that matter.
