Reddit forcing me to use their shitty app
Dude, it's so bad. The hordes of people defending reddit, saying, "the official app isn't even bad! Stop complaining! You're just too autistic to learn something new!" we're either liars or have no idea what a good app looks like. The official reddit app has tons of ads that are designed to look like regular posts. It's so stuttery. It constantly loses your place. You can't change the home page sort. Read posts get demoted, so after it refreshes on its own without your permission, you can't find your read posts again.
It's by far one of the worst apps I have ever used. How it has even been released is beyond me.
Bots. Many pro-reddit pro-official-app comments were proven to be bots during the height of the protests.
Reddit literally has a long, long history of using bots to make the site seem like it has more engagement, even from the early days of the site.
source?
I used the official for about idk most of my Reddit time (which was only 2 or 3 years) and Apollo for 11 months and would’ve been a year but yeah :(
Anyways I didn’t realize how much I disliked the layout of the official app until I switched to Apollo
Which app do you use for Lemmy?
I’m personally using Voyager and so happy with it so far
I like voyager a lot, too. Definitely bridges the gap for me from RIF
I like Voyager, I just wished that I could see my avatar or other people’s avatar
I completely forgot about avatars lol

memmy, voyager didnt stick with me that much
omg I am the exact inverse! Voyager, because Memmy kept failing me.
Mostly Jerboa nowadays and Sync nowadays. I used to use Voyager and Connect and Liftoff, which are all good also in their own ways, but Jerboa and Sync seemed to have the best functionality for me in terms of interacting with different communities and instances across the fediverse. I also need to look into Thunder one of these days.
Right now I'm on Jerboa. I tried Liftoff for a while but it had some weird bugs, and development on it seems to have slowed down a bit in the last few months. Thought it was very promising however, might try it again in the future.
