I hate the official app with the fire of 1,000 suns. So if my only options are using the official app or leaving the site completely I’m leaving completely✌️

I’m only a 6 year clubber on Reddit, but using RIF for most of it, couldn’t stand how the app was going. Nowadays it’s the content as well. Going to be exploring around here now
Dat Lemmy puss feels so much tighter tho
I’d rather crawl the 20 extra miles to a new community (and did) than use that app again. It’s that bad. The reviews on Google Play are very telling. It’s just a buggy mess.
old.reddit.com on a mobile browser is still 100 times better than the “official” reddit app.
Despite it not being available through i.reddit.com, compact mode is still reachable at reddit.com/.i, and I find it even better than old reddit for mobile.
I had no idea. I had never even seen this until today
Always learning ;)
Hopefully reddit won’t take it downtried it out, doesn’t seem to actually be usable for anything other than reading the home page not logged in and links thereof. For example I can’t https://reddit.com/.i/r/Cricket or similar
The ideal is to append that
/.iat the end of the URL. Like so: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/.iEdit: which also works for login: https://www.reddit.com/login/.i
THANKS! Just in time for it not to matter anymore :-P
I would actually be willing to pay a small, reasonable monthly fee to not have to see ads and to be able to continue using Boost for Reddit like I have been for the last 7 years with the experience unchanged. What I will not do is pay to use reddit’s official app without ads simply because it’s going to be the only choice with their horrible fee structure that will kill all third party apps. As soon as they kill Boost, my account there goes dark…
Hey look, a fellow boost refuge.
What I’d actually rather do is have all of reddit pay devs of a federated platform like this one or similar a small amount to have a platform without ads.
I use(d) and love boost! I mostly based the ui in jerboa after it, because it’s so beautiful.
Shame it’s always been closed source.
Great job man. You’ve made me forget I’ve switched sites.
Thanks! <3
I have a question. As most of you probably already know, i reached that level on reddit where karma can be converted 1:1 to dollars (not that hard tbh), but here looks like there’s no karma to farm? How can I pay my rent?
This might be added in an future update? This place will change alot coming months for sure.
Reddit’s official app and new reddit are awful experiences and actively hostile to the user. It’s nice to see a site that understands this.
I hate new reddit so much. I just opened it. On my 1440p monitor I see 3 posts. Old reddit I can see 18 posts on one page.
I never understood this argument. I can’t read more than one post at a time anyways and images are not immediately visible in the list view. What makes you want 18 posts visible at once?
So you can select the post you want to actually look at instead of having to scroll and scroll to find one that interests you. Like in a classical forum post, essentially.
That and I have tendonitis so less scrolling past crap I don’t care about means I have less pain / no pain.
About a decade ago, Logitech had this awesome mouse with a freewheel spinning middle mouse button. It allowed for a long spin after release and was excellent for up and down scrolling on a large page. Sadly they don’t seem to be made anymore. They were really fun.
I had one of those. They were pretty fun.
