i used it when i had to use the Reddit app for the duckduckgo subreddit

leavemealone ,

You gave me a mini heart attack, I was scrolling and thought ads were starting to appear in lemmy 😖

Are there any options to disable videos? I know other apps have options to limit on mobile data but even in WiFi I rather a video not auto play.

Before I deleted my account, I did give it a try and it's truly terrible and it's a shame they expect you to use that when basically every 3rd party app is better in every way. It's buggy, riddled with ads and doesn't have proper tablet support while both Sync and Boost did.

I know Revanced will fix some of the issues, but I'm done with Reddit out of principle of them throwing 3rd party devs to the curb when it's been fine for them to develop apps for years.

It always annoyed me how the ads were formatted to look like posts, always felt like they were trying to trick people into clicking on it (which honestly that probably is the intent). Feel the same way with ads on Twitter. It's one thing to show ads and another to format them to try and trick users into clicking on them

More ads than content. Not suprised.

You can download revanced manager and patch out the ads

Brooo like I downloaded it to use for porn (all my saves and my carefully tailored subscription list of hentai and fetish porn) and you can’t even sort by top? Like what the fuck?

RatzChatsubo ,

It took me a minute to realize you were not on wefwef

guacho ,

Me too! I was like “wtf, they’re already adding ads in Lemmy” 🤣

mintiefresh ,

Lmao. I refuse to go back.

I stopped using it on mobile once infinity died

Honestly. I tried using the app the other day and for some reason its SO laggy. It’s only the official app that does this too, I did not have this problem with Apollo or Sync.

The official reddit app was crazy shit when I tried it 2 years ago. Can’t imagine what it would feel like to use it now.

It lags even on a OnePlus 11 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 16GB RAM. No other app I have ever used lags like this.

Bro phones have that much RAM now? Holy shit…

enoquelights ,

I crapped myself when I saw this post. I thought I had promoted stuff and trending feeds and was feeling like it was on it way to Reddit shenanigans, good to know it’s just a cesspit screenshot.

Ohhhhh, OK I get it now.

I always used (and preferred) the official app and wondered why I was the only one haha.

But, I had Reddit Premium until recently, and now I guess AdGuard must be picking up the slack. 😅

I found that even with AdGuard DNS enabled, I still saw promoted posts (ads) using the Reddit app, so I deleted it.

Don’t forget to rate it 1 star

SinningStromgald ,

And mention that Spez being a trash heap, STD infused, shit covered dildo is also a major contributing factor.

While all that is true, you actually shouldn’t do that in your review, as that will often get it flagged/removed. (They’ll think it’s not a “real” review and instead part of a review bombing effort.)

Yo, charge your phone!
