I was one of the people who deleted their reddit account when 3rd party apps were being pressured out.
I am just wondering how the official app is now. I visit a page that has no lemmy alternative every now and then.
I have no plans to post, upvote or downvote. I just want an easy way to see a couple of pages sometimes. Currently doing this in a mobile browser, requiring I not wipe history. Is there a better way to do this?
The official app is dogshit. Riddled with bugs and oversaturated with ads. You can turn off certain ad settings but they weasel around them to keep them on (such as home feed recommendations and targeted advertising).
If you really really want to browse reddit though, I’d recommend using one of the remaining third party apps such as Infinity. Building an API key is a little involved but pretty easy; I was able to do it and I barely know what an API even is. And you won’t see ads or any of their distracting animated awards or such nonsense.
Also, with the way reddit is now, be prepared for a LOT of censorship. It’s gotten really bad over there.
I will try to research this. I just wanted something simple. That’s why I thought of asking here. Thanks for the suggestion.
