I use newsboat on the desktop, because is a terminal based app and terminal based apps are BASED. There are many more fancy readers on desktop.
Also Feeder on mobile is pretty good, it's available on F-Droid.
With that and moving to lemmy you might break free of your reddit addiction and not fall into the trap of using the crappy official app just to watch dank memes.
Also forget about Karma. I have over 200K karma on Reddit that is utterly useless. Touching grass is more pleasing than getting karma. You can read something on reddit from your RSS feed while touching grass too, multitasking.
If someone would make an RSS reader with its own comments/threads independent of the stories themselves I could go straight to the app comments after reading only the headline to get shitty takes on stories I won’t read.
The Reddit experience really isn’t that hard to recreate.
The problem is at least for me, I really like to read comments about the given topic. Sure many of the comments were from people who only read the headline but still it was really nice to see the discussion about the news.

Haha, I did the exact same thing yesterday. Terminal based apps are indeed based.
Also, you can use teddit instead if you don't want to give traffic directly to reddit (as far as I know). It's pretty easy: instead of adding /.rss, you add ?api&type=rss at the end. See here.
Just recently discovered that rss also works for YouTube. And this makes YouTube so much better for me now:) Nice to hear that it also works with Reddit
