Reddit decides to start more chaos than rDrama ever could. If they kill off third party clients it's going to turn into Instagram and make power users seethe.

So they want to force people to use the official app? I dont even want to know what a giant pile of shit that thing is, reddit literally hasnt had a positive UI/UX change since introducing subreddits.

The redesign is completely cancerous, Switching to the old design is the only way you can even read comments properly without constant pop-ups for accounts and shit.

Its hilarious that a website coded by an aquatic rodent in his spare time is easily ten times as functional as reddit ever was.

It's critical that you run enough webshit to drain a phone battery in 20 minutes. No third party apps and don't even think about using an old version of the site without JavaScript

Tbh the rdrama app also drains my phone battery like a b-word. But i run an older version to actually run the app version and not just a shortcut to the mobile site.

Rdrama still works so much better. Reddit devs should be embarrassed. It's faster, images work reliably, my phone doesn't struggle to load the front page, the web app is actually good, and there's 100% more marseys

Reddit still won't let you submit a post of an image + text simultaneously. Either it's a text post with link to image added, or image post with a comment giving context.

Supposedly you can do videos, too. Nobody is quite sure how.

Third party appcels just pretend it’s such a better experience. It’s the same shit
