Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Most of them will get removed due to ""hate spam"" anyways
Has already happened. Its on 3.9 again. 
Might be location based. Central Canada and it's at 2.6
2.6 in Australia
2.9 in australia
oh damn u seem to be in a reddit app country. So far the highest rating in any location
Despite the API protests, the Official Reddit app sucks anyways. It uses a ton more data and battery than third party apps, so I'd never use it again. The app also has a bunch of tracking built in.
It also stutters like mad even on high end phones. I almost feel like making it work well would have required less effort. No idea why dozens of indie developers all did far better jobs.
I didn't even realize how much battery it used until I uninstalled it. I used to have to charge my phone like 2 to 3 times a day... Thought, well, it's getting older, battery is just dying. Nope. Uninstalled it and I'm 10 hours into the day off the charger and at 81% battery. And I'm still dicking around on my phone just as much, it's just in jerboa now... Lol
Central Europe
And many of the 1 star reviews are really well put with good constructive feedback. So no reason to delete them. Riiight?
Reddit app is steaming pile of shit that doesn't get better with time, which is fascinating.
I still use (paid version of) Joey and it still works. The moment it stops working I am ditching Reddit and using Lemmy completely.
I swear I checked last monday and it was 2.6. Damn looks like lot of bots are at work.
I think the results are regional.
Yea this should be the case because it has well over 3 rating in my region.
Agreed. 2.6 in my location. PNW
Literally where it shows the rating and downloads numbers there is a small "i" for "information", not that difficult to find
Regional and based on your device
We dis it ~~reddit~~ lemmy!
The reviews are fun. The top keywords or phrases have "absolute garbage" which means that collectively, people have assigned the reddit app to absolute garbage. Not garbage, not bad, but "absolute garbage". Fantastic.
That's the words I used too lol.
Canada
I did my part just now
This served was a good reminder for me to check my review and update it.
Nature is healing
Showing 4.8 for me, southern US. I did do my part though!
Edit: if you look at the version history, up until 2 months ago they would describe what each update did. The last 13 updates all say the same thing (iOS):
Thank you for updating the Reddit app! We’ve updated our iOS app with bug fixes and changes to improve your overall experience.
The only difference is that sometimes there’s a bullet point dot at the very beginning depending on how it was copy/pasted that day lol…just awful every which way with no redeeming qualities.
I love democracy
In Chile it still shows up with 4 stars 😬🇨🇱
I'm doing my part!
2.9 stars in Poland. Not bad :)
Jeff Randall, too hot to handle.
I don't think the official app is awful - yet. But It was clear when they jacked up API prices it was about making better software than theirs disappear so they could fill their own with ads, more ads, popups, notifications, privacy infringement and all the rest.
I just deleted it. If I need to access Reddit from a phone, I use an webapp link on the launcher which shows their site through Firefox. Strips out all the ads out too while its at it. I also do the same for Twitter.
3.7 in Italy
In France that different again
