I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it’s hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I’m not sure what’s up with that.
I am using a shortcut to open a list of my preferred multireddits in Safari. I have the Noir dark mode app and old Reddit. only way it is bearable for me. Hard to abandon certain niche communities, but I realise in time, Reddit will become worse, and I will have to abandon it all together.
If you don’t care about being able to participate, Geddit is an ok alternative on Android. It’s an app skin for the RSS reddit feed with minimal functionality. No login, so no commenting or voting. But it does allow a sort of front page, still has access to nsfw content, and filters the ads. And it doesn’t give reddit clicks.
