    Reddit’s official app, and in fact Reddit’s official website is a hugely compromised experience, and I suspect the only reason they haven’t gone further is that they don’t want to push people to the alternatives. However this latest move to restrict the available alternatives seems like the beginning of the end to me and their app and site are only going to get worse.

    That’s why I’m here at least!

    I hate the official app with the fire of 1,000 suns. So if my only options are using the official app or leaving the site completely I’m leaving completely✌️

    I’m only a 6 year clubber on Reddit, but using RIF for most of it, couldn’t stand how the app was going. Nowadays it’s the content as well. Going to be exploring around here now

    Reddit’s official app and new reddit are awful experiences and actively hostile to the user. It’s nice to see a site that understands this.

      I hate new reddit so much. I just opened it. On my 1440p monitor I see 3 posts. Old reddit I can see 18 posts on one page.

        I never understood this argument. I can’t read more than one post at a time anyways and images are not immediately visible in the list view. What makes you want 18 posts visible at once?

          So you can select the post you want to actually look at instead of having to scroll and scroll to find one that interests you. Like in a classical forum post, essentially.

            That and I have tendonitis so less scrolling past crap I don’t care about means I have less pain / no pain.

              About a decade ago, Logitech had this awesome mouse with a freewheel spinning middle mouse button. It allowed for a long spin after release and was excellent for up and down scrolling on a large page. Sadly they don’t seem to be made anymore. They were really fun.

    I’d rather crawl the 20 extra miles to a new community (and did) than use that app again. It’s that bad. The reviews on Google Play are very telling. It’s just a buggy mess.
