On iOS I’m using Apollo. To open directly in the app it provides a share menu action. There is also “Opener” to open links in all kinds of apps

On Android, I found Infinity for Reddit. Open source and ad free.

It's the best on android, but I haven't used it for more than a week or two. Don't want to get addicted again.

Slide is also Open Source, ad free, free and available on f-droid.

One thing that I missed on Slide was default sorting by 'hot'.

Sorting by hot gives you posts from smaller subs you like and removes all the political shenanigans

My Slide sorts by hot by default

Okay. I just downloaded it to check.

I meant 'best'. Not 'hot'.

Sorting by 'best' gives you content from smaller subs.

I have asked the dev to implement it. I have not gotten any reply.

cant found it

I went cold turkey (blocked in my hosts file on my laptop) 4 years ago. Hands down the best single decision I've ever made.

The problem with blocking it is that reddit is not just for time wasting. It's also currently the most popular forum host for all sorts of experts, from audiophiles to network engineers. Whenever I have a technical query and Google is returning a whole load of SEO spam I append 'reddit' or a stack exchange site to the query and can fairly reliably expect to discover a technical subreddit which answers my question and where the best answers are the most visible, thanks to voting.
