The sheer amount of pro-communist/pro-china comments is insane here

It's been increasingly noticeable for me. That and the Linux die-hards (can see why the "how to tell someone's a Linux fan" meme exist now)

I'm in the same boat with communities as well. Very little for stuff like Destiny or Game Dev, and even when those communities exist they're typically a lot lower in quality.

Only reason I haven't gone back to reddit as my main site is because the mobile app is actually as bad as people say. But I've been visiting reddit communities via web browser a lot more frequently over the past fortnight.

Exact same experience here. Small communities may as well not exist. I’ve been browsing Reddit in a web browser a lot more recently because it’s the only way there’s interaction about my hobbies.

I'm one of those Linux Die-hards (well, I use Pop! so I guess I can't be that die-hard) so I actually enjoy the privacy/FOSS discussions, but totally see how it would be annoying.

But yeah I've slowly been moving back to Reddit in-browser because of the spam and the lack of communities here. I won't be caught dead using their app though. If they disable mobile web I'll either stop using Reddit again or find a way around it.
