I have no clue how people use reddit anymore. If I open the app I am greeted with an unrecognisable mess of stuff I never asked for. Sorting is fucked, my frontpage contains stuff I don't care for and everything seems to be yelling at me for attention causing me to close the app again.
I remember trying to convince a book sub that "two weeks" is not enough time to stop putting everything behind a spoiler tag/spoiler free titles.
Their argument "don't come here and you won't be spoiled"
Meanwhile, Reddit is like hey you want to read this random post from a sub you unsubscribed from last month when the new book came out? its called "thoughts on Wally-Woo's death"
For me it’s the constant suggestions of other communities and posts on my feed of joined subs.
Next thing I knew my feed was slowly filling up with rage bait, which I never had a problem with a third party app, and I’d close the app angrier and outraged than when I started.
It’s nicer here, lol.
There's still third party apps on Android that still work once you patch in your own API key and on the web, old reddit still works.
