Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.

The most sleazy thing it does is that if you want to download or share an image with your friends in, say, a text chain, it brands that image with Reddit crap.

They go completely out of their way to make the app unusable.

You don't need to care about posters leaving if you don't show content in your app taps forehead

Dude, scrolling by this on connect and panicked that the ads were already hitting Lemmy!

The reddit app is garbage compared to other offerings. Too bad they fucked the whole API thing for the 3rd party apps

Oh wow I've not seen the official app in years. That's insane, who on earth is happy using this!?

Good god, that content is so awful. Sports, shootings, parenting. So glad we have Lemmy. It feels more like the old internet where it's mostly tech nerd focused.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

It truly is garbage

Ooof. I'd rather use old.reddit.com on my phone's browser and that looks like shit. Really looking forward to the Sync for Lemmy app.

That 15% battery status is giving me anxiety by proxy.

Holy fuck, that's what that shit looks like? That is horrible. RIP rif.

At this point you might as well design an app that is 100% ads and give the users a cut of the ad revenue.

I got rid of it 2 years ago for Apollo and tried it again briefly last month.

Somehow it got significantly worse, you can’t even choose how to sort your feed anymore.

I was so confused for a few seconds, thought there were ads in my Lemmy app…

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Back in 2021 Reddit released an update for the official app that caused scrolling to stutter, instantly heating up my battery and deplete battery life at an absurd rate. This was on Apple’s newest top phone at the time (12 Pro Max.)

I immediately knew something was fucky, so I switched to Apollo that same night. I checked back for about 3 more updates over a few weeks. During that time, Reddit never acknowledged the bug or fixed it. Since then, it looks like they’ve repeatedly caused the same issue with iOS and some android phones.

If they didn’t shit the bed back then, I’d never have discovered Apollo or realized it was better in every way - not just at not physically destroying my new phone.

And now here we are again, discovering new and better alternatives in Lemmy and decentralization thanks to Reddit’s incompetent fuckery. Thanks Reddit!

Even ignoring the ads, it’s just an astonishingly bad piece of software. It feels like it was written in a weekend by someone who’d just finished reading Programming for Dummies.

It started as alien blue which was actually a good app back in the day. Reddit bought it and enshittified the hell out of it.
