      They got rid of i. and Apollo’s API access, so I stopped using Reddit on my phone entirely.

      They get rid of old. and I’m out entirely, and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in that.

      I’m already using Lemmy, I just currently switch between the two to make sure I’m not missing anything. Would have no issue just using Lemmy entirely if more people joined.

      Not gonna downloading the app that tracks even more data. Will be the moment I engage far less on this platform.

      The second this happens to me will be the thing to finally get me to drop Reddit entirely.

      I refuse to use the app. If Reddit insists I must use the app to access the site at all on mobile then I guess I should thank Reddit for helping my mental health by limiting my usage of the platform.

      I don’t even mind the app, but not letting me sort by Hot or All has seen my usage go down 90%.

      Turns out I don’t want to see posts from three days ago with 130 upvotes and 11 comments.

      Lol! The minute I can’t access the site from a mobile browser is when I stop using reddit all the time.

      Thanks for freeing me from this addition.

      I’m betting that this is a response to strong browser ad blockers. Browsing Reddit on Brave is a much nicer experience, particularly because I don’t have to see ads promoting fascist organizations.

      Question, I have always avoided the app because I don’t join a bunch of subs. I have different bookmarks on mobile for shows n stuff that I don’t want on my normal feed. 

      Is there a way to do something similar on the app?

      1. Turn the app into shit.
      2. Prevent users from accessing Reddit without the app.
      3. ???
      4. Profit

      Not interested in websites trying to force their app. I don’t need a zillion apps on my phone that are just the mobile site running in Chromium

      So I actually (unfortunately) use the app. Do you know how many times I click an image (from the app) that instead of opening in the app redirects to my browser to open it in reddit there? It’s fucking nuts.

      Don’t use reddit on my phone but why is your response to people using your website instead of your app not „we should make an app that is good, that people want to use“ it’s to block them?

    22. woodenblinds on

      App is buggy as hell. If they shut down the website (not clear if this is in the future) I will have to find something to replace reddit

    25. Calcularius on

      You can’t even see your attached images in your comment history on the lame-ass app 😡

      they are pushing the app so they can collect more personal data and keep track of your behavior across multiple accounts. getting banned on one account, then logging in on another account through the app is auto-flagged for ban evasion and then all linked accounts get permabanned.

      I almost exclusively use PWAs over apps. No background crap battery life has never been better. 

      If you’re going to force me to use an app, I just won’t and I will give you a bad rating in the app store because as far as I’m concerned, your app is malware.

      u/spez, please stop. You are not Elon. This is not X. No one wants or needs your stupid app.

    31. TheSheepdog on

      I’ll literally stop using Reddit forever before I redownload that garbage app.

    32. flemtone on

      This is a dick move by Reddit, I prefer using the website while browsing in Firefox.

    33. zeusmeister on

      I’ve been using the web browser on my
      Phone since they banned those really good 3rd party apps. The official Reddit app is horrendous. I would rather quit Reddit altogether than use that app lol

    34. Balmung60 on

      I have absolutely no interest in using an app for something that should just be a webpage

    35. AvailableReporter484 on

      The app blows. I hate my feed. Whatever they did to the algorithm actively makes me close the app more often than not.
      I subscribe to something new and then all the sudden the subs I’ve been on for years are completely filtered out in favor of something I subbed to 5 minutes ago. Not to mention that I’m inundated with posts from 4+ days ago.
      Popular fucking blows. Idunno why they think I don’t want all.
      You can’t copy comments and saving anything on the app is a fucking hassle.
      The senior most PM at Reddit must be fresh out of college or something. These businesses decisions are sucking me on soft tbh.

      For all its flaws, Reddit used to be useful. Now it’s just censorship and groupthink and AI bots. Time to put it down – I’m not downloading an app. 

    37. mikebunchkin3727 on

      I can’t stand the appification of the internet….fuck you, fuck your app.

      They used to be called “programs” BTW!!
