The annoying thing about the app was that it copied Facebook and constantly spammed my feed with subreddits I was not subscribed to. I used an alternative app for a while and that worked ok. It is so annoying when Facebook and the like constantly force you to follow pages and groups you are not interested in.
You can change that in the settings where your feed is only the subreddits you subscribe to. You’ll still see the stupid little ads but you won’t get posts from other subreddits you don’t subscribe to or that reddit thinks it needs to suggest to you. The only reason I still use reddit is because there’s a handful of subs I frequent that there are no equivalent on Lemmy. Plus I have a small group chat of friends.
Unfortunately or fortunately perhaps, I am banned from reddit. The reason was for reporting too many posts. Mods never cared about any of the rule breakers. They claimed I was trying to break the site by reporting posts too much. So I got banned without warning. Oh well.
I got a 7 day ban a few months ago because someone posted some NSFW spam to one of the niche subs I frequent so I jokingly said “that ass needs to be slapped” and within a minute I got the ban for “inciting violence”. Reddit has gotten absolutely ridiculous with bans at the admin level.
Everything about their app is annoying. For them to be so late to their own party and deliver something so sub-par is impressive. It was nearly impossible to use for anything other than doom scrolling.
