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:
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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.
I usually find the app and the web site are usually essentially the same on most platforms, plus most apps are designed for data farming, so to me, most apps are moot in function, and nothing but a security hole. You're going to have to do better than just not interrupting me as I come in to announce your app to get me to use it.
Gross!
I never used it personally.
I've been dodging and dodging and dodging from using that shitty app for months. When I try posting to other subreddits whenever I have had it installed, none of my posts would go through. I'm always left to post links, for some reason, but not text based posts. That's how broken it is and they've never fixed it because they don't care.
I'm so glad to be out of that hell.
Wow they oops forgot their forum is an empty box without its users' input. Way to chase any sane user away
Magnificent
I've sideloaded a patched version of Apollo on my phone and it's been a nicer experience (though it has limitations obviously). I am certain it will get revoked eventually. But it's the best option for me right now. There is a way to patch Android APKs. Not sure if I should share since it technically involves a form of piracy. But if you google it, it's definitely doable.
Better to cut the cord entirely and contribute to building a new community elsewhere.
Wow, that's awful. I just use Firefox mobile + Adblock, which isn't very nice to reddit, but at least allows a somewhat decent experience - except for missing features like /r/Subreddit/comments, for which you have to go in Desktop mode.
