Learning lessons? They're making their website worse on purpose! They don't want people to use the Reddit website — they want people to use the app, because that's where all the ads and tracking is.

That would make sense if the app wasn't also terribly user unfriendly.

  I have a feeling they will disable 3rd party apps soon. That will be the day I stop using Reddit.

    First they will disable old.reddit.com I think. Then 3rd party apps.

      Oh, old.reddit.com is the only usable thing.

        and https://i.reddit.com https://i.reddit.com It's probably 5x faster than the new mobile site, too

      That would be disabling the only two ways I visit reddit (for nine years, wow).

  Navigation is completely broken. For example, I open a notification (the only reason I have the apo installed - this could be done with web PNs) and then either click back or the X, both wrongly navigate back one time to the same message, then close the app completely. I often have to kill the app to get out of this. Why the hell can't we stick to documents for reading stuff, and even posting the occasional comment?

Pushing the app is why I never managed to use reddit for anything.
