Have you tried using some third-party app for Reddit? "Reddit is fun" works pretty great for me, no nonsense and good usability.

Have you tried using some third-party app for Reddit? "Reddit is fun" works pretty great for me, no nonsense and good usability.
- echelon 7y agoThat may be, but how long do you expect them to allow 3rd party apps? Once they can get 3rd party usage below a certain threshold of engagement, they'll block the API.
- distances 7y agoThey've been allowing for a good while so hopefully for a bit more at least. TBH if they block third party I'm done with them. Def won't be accepting the default user experience.
- Sverigevader 7y agoI bought Sync for Reddit to get rid of ads. I've used it for maybe two years. Even if they block it tomorrow it would have been worth it because the experience has been tremendous. If I'm forced to go back to the official app I'll just stop using Reddit on my phone. And also, they'll get third party usage below a certain threshold if people don't use it so... Don't help them!
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y ago"Reddit Is Fun" is great and has been around for years, the unfounded belief that they may block access one day isn't really a valid reason to not use it.
- MrP 7y agoApps are too risky. The risk that any app will, now or in the future, be hacked, sold or just changed to suck all the data from your phone and send it somewhere you don't want it sent is too high for my taste.
- sudosysgen 7y agoThere are good FOSS reddit clients for android. Build one then install it.
