The Reddit default app is so bad these days, they really want you to buy their useless internet badges.
Do what I did and get permanently suspended. I’m happier now
there are still occasions where I end up on reddit for information and I’m so fucking happy I didn’t delete my account because you can still use old reddit if you have an account
Without an account the site is literally unusable
I still search for information I need, I just can’t participate. Btw I was banned from a niche subreddit and made a new account 4 years later and one mod found out who I was and it was over.
If you are on Android, use RedReader. It still works with full functionality as before, except that NSFW subs can’t be opened. It’s available on F Droid as well.
ios RDX for reddit.
Or if on browser, just use Redlib
rdx is on Android too and browser too.
Obligatory: Fuck Spez
Down with Spez! May he be left with crumbs.
May he always have bed bugs, too.
May his shopping trolley (shopping cart) always have a wheel which keeps sticking and steering him off to the side when he tries to go forwards.
may he randomly hear a mosquito fly past his ear anytime he’s falling asleep
May his handful of Revels exclusively contain his least favourite flavour.
Obligatory: always has been meme
It’s made on purpose to have the awards button be where the upvote button used to be so your muscle memory makes you spend money.
I was off the app for over a year because of the API change. Decided to make a new account and lurked for a while before there was a comment I really wanted to reply to. I wrote out the perfect reply and my phone locked when I looked away for a few seconds. I unlocked the phone and my comment was gone. I went looking in the help menu to see if there was a place to suggest features like auto-save. Nothing. So, I made a new subreddit for reddit feature suggestions and spent like an hour writing a post explaining my experience. I hit post and the app went back to home. My post was gone.
Since then, I’ve made about a dozen comments in various places. On my old account, I would get dozens or hundreds of upvotes per comment, so it’s surprising that regardless of what I say or where, my new account has only 1 upvote on each comment. Almost like my account isn’t being seen. Is this what we lost the good reddit apps for?
Sounds like you’re shadowbanned.
