Surely the most annoying thing is the endless requests to download the app. So irritating! I refuse to download it just because they insist so hard. Reddit is the most basic site ever, there is absolutely no need for me to have an app.
It works well on mobile and desktop.
There's a bug where opening a post from a subreddit's main page always results in a weird border, like it's opening the post as a floating dialog.
(Just to confirm tried it logged and out, same result: https://imgur.com/a/6yK9D8V)
That results in comments being squished down to a few characters wide and many many lines long
I used to think it was a "me" bug, but it's followed me across 4 iPhones over the years!
How can they have such an experience breaking bug on one of the most homogeneous major platforms out there? iOS only has one browser engine!
Try m.reddit.com
Good! I do not want any mobile-optimized webpages on my mobile phone. That's what double-tap-to-zoom was invented for, and now pinch-to-zoom.
Surely there's some good economical or political reason it. Maybe systemic (any large market will create redundancies.. I don't know)
Yay to old.reddit.com
Location tracking
Probably other tracking capabilities as well.
The technical frameworks make vastly more surveillance information and channels available via apps, AFAIU.
Worked flawlessly and never had to see those crappy dark patterns again :)
Been using it for a decade and it does everything, even mod stuff. Simple and clean interface.
