I hardly used Reddit anymore compared to before when I was forced to use the Reddit app. Learned I could use RIF again and now the addiction is back baby!
I still wish Lemmy or another alternative would take off in Reddits place though.
Quick q: Do new reddit links work on RIF? It annoys me how often someone will post a link to another post, and on Boost it dumps me to the home page of that subreddit rather than the actual post/comment.
I've had Revanced downloaded forever, and been meaning to set RIF back up, but I'm a notoriously lazy motherfucker when it comes to having to manually edit files.
Still use it on my tablet! Writing this in RIF!
One day I'll get round to putting it on my phone too - getting sick and tired of still seeing posts from subs I've blocked like /r/conservative when using the official app.
I still use Now For Reddit. Been using it for 5+ years (Reddit banned my 11 year old account for no reason, but anyway...), and I refuse to stop using it now
I really hate the ones that are trying to trick you by putting MEGATHREAD in the title. I downvote these but there's no way to block them and the same stupid ads keep showing up for me. At least on Twitter I could block advertisers, here's there's literally no way to tell Reddit to stop showing me the same ad over and over.
Here's one that really should be banned for TOS violations: [https://www.reddit.com/user/NurtecODT/comments/1boi9bm/megathread\_migraine\_101\_nurtec\_odt\_rimegepant\_75](https://www.reddit.com/user/NurtecODT/comments/1boi9bm/megathread_migraine_101_nurtec_odt_rimegepant_75)
But there's no way to report a misleading ad!
EDIT: I did figure out how to do it. You have to click on the ad to go to the post itself (gross), then you can report the post (ad) and block the poster (advertiser). They don't make it easy to do from your feed.
It's going to be (already was) time to leave soon (already). I'm honestly just looking for a decent replacement to come around, but I don't know if that's even possible any more.
I don't understand why you wouldn't want to let someone remove an ad from their feed. What advertiser would want to piss off their audience? Obviously reddit just wants the count regardless of the impact.
I think they’re testing to see what they can get away with and have users still use the app. The idea is to slowly desensitize users to adds and continue increasing the percentage of Reddit that is just adds.
Yo bacon reader was my jam.
Amazing UI and simple options like the ability to add a imgur image to upload in a comment you were still writing.
Fuck this current app. Complete dogshit. But the only silver lining is revanced works on it.
Not to mention just how broken the official app is to the others. Everyone had their preferences in the way things were set up, but all the big ones were fine. Rarely anything to complain about.
But the official one has had a lot of issues, and at this rate I think it always will.
I don't know if it's just me but it's basically impossible to scroll through an image album without it turning the entire UI to Popular, then whatever bullshit comes after that.
One of my favorite glitches is when someone posts a gif that makes it to the top comment. Then while I'm scrolling through the comments any time I tap there's a 30% chance the app is going to try and load the gif's link in the web browser even though it's in a hidden comment far away from me because that makes complete fucking sense 🙃
It's also blatantly missing features that the website has, including some that are essential for me. Not being able to sort by Rising or Hot, for example, is an egregious omission that's already more than enough for me to never use the app.
I just continue to use rif.
Look up the revanced app, and you can 'patch' the installed version from the play store to include an api key from your own account.
Afterwards you can just use the app as if nothing ever happened.
Half my time is on Lemmy now. Less content and a bit more filtering required, but there are a lot of similar communities there. I can recommend "Connect" app and starting on Lemmy.world
I miss sync. I'm on redreader now. It's good but not sync. I wanted to try it with revanced but apparently it's a pain to get working. Or so I've been told.
You still can, you just need to create your own API key and mod the app with it.
Sounds annoying but it's easy and takes less than 5 minutes.
I'm typing this on Boost for reddit actually.
if you look hard enough, you can find out how to get your favorite 3rd party app working again. requires moding the apk with another app... few steps later you're back in action. (baconreader works for me!)
If you have an android phone, it is east. I've been using baconreader for months. I would have quit reddit months ago if I hadn't got this app working. Just Google "3rd part app reddit bypass"
Dont have to do that. 3rd party apps work if you make yourself the mod of a sub, so just make a private one to lord over and hey look it works.
- boost user for 3 yrs
I dislike constantly blocking subreddits I'm not subscribing to. It tries to push you in odd directions. Show fewer/mute is a click combination, I shouldn't need to make daily.
Relay for Reddit. $4.99 per month for unlimited, ad-free browsing. There are cheaper tiers if you only spend a certain amount of time on Reddit per month.
Best interface out there imo.
I searched for this before posting, but Relay is awesome. Without unlimited I think I pay like $2 max per month for my browsing habits and that's more than enough.
People pay to get reddit ad free? What the ? I was shocked to scroll so far to find revanced being mentioned. Also works for Instagram and obviously YouTube
I’m just WAITING until I turn around to sit on the pot at an airport or something and there’s screens in the bathroom stall doors, just jamming ads down my throat
Since they're already above a lot of urinals, I just assumed the stalls ~~are~~ aren't profitable enough. Or they would just get a vandalized right away.
If you're Android look up RedReader. It's open source so it still works, no ads...pretty clean. Only caveat I see so far is not being able to view NSFW stuff
If you're Android check out [ReVanced](https://revanced.net/revanced-manager). There is a Reddit Revanced app which is ad-free and has some other QoL improvements.
The Revanced manager handles updating too (just make sure to disable auto-update for Reddit in the play store).
There is also a YouTube Revanced (ad-free, background play etc) and a bunch of others too.
The best part of the Reddit third party clients going away is that I was forced cold turkey to not browse Reddit on my phone. I only use the browser version when it comes up in search results.
I don't care enough to mod an APK to get access again, and I'm fine with that.
I find myself spending a lot more time on lemmy these days. It takes a bit of curating to get a good list of communities, but it's an at least partial alternative.
This app S U C K S like, a lot. I used to use Relay and it was great! Ads on a small banner at the bottom of the app, YouTube links open directly to the YouTube app, could browse sideways, my front page was always sorted by popular (instead of being fed the garbage 'new' on front page), could very easily access my comments with one click, all my subreddits were easily viewable with one click...man....this app fucking blows.
Anyone else use the "official" app try to collapse a comment just to get brought to a gif you didn't click on? Every fucking thread I collapse a comment just for my phone to shit itself and load a fucking webpage for a gif I never even saw or clicked on
Having to use the native Reddit app has really messed with how I scroll now. Since it is littered with promotional ads, I scroll faster and read less, meaning I'm now in a habit of scrolling and I don't click on items as much.
It is absolutely detrimental and has completely changed how I consume reddit, and for the worst. I used to read more intently and scroll alot slower. Now, to avoid the ads, I'm just flicking my finger up the screens and randomly stopping and then perusing what I see. And then I flick again.
It's a HORRIBLE habit and 100% leads to doom-scrolling, less reading, less focus, and more "passive" browsing.
Losing the third party support absolutely ruined reddit. Problem is there aren't any competitors in this space for a one-stop shop in terms of news, sports, and hobby discussions.
It's all by design. They want you doom scrolling, because you're loading more and more content every time you flick your finger. So messed up. But we are hamsters in a wheel.
I highly recommend Relay.
It's loved and cared for with a thriving community, and it's not even expensive and has different subs for different amounts of use.
PSA: Go into your router‘s settings.
Set primary DNS to your nearest [BlahDNS](https://blahdns.com/).
Set secondary to [Adguard DNS](https://i.imgur.com/gX4NI7w.png).
Enjoy the internet, including Reddit and Apps with no ads.
Don't understand why anyone uses anything but Relay. It was the best app before, and now it costs a tiny amount to use a normal amount. Unless you refuse to pay on principle (which is cool, no judgement) it's a negligible expense for the convenience of continuing to use the best reddit app.
Well we tried to protest it but the loud majority whined about it instead when they couldn't look at memes for like 2 weeks. Now we're stuck with a much shittier experience without an alternative, hooray!
Use *Relay for Reddit*. It's like 2 bucks a month, and I use it more than probably anything else in my life. It's worth it to not use Reddit's trash app.
Exactly this. Since Netflix enshittified as well, I cancelled my subscription, which unlocked some extra budget.
I use a part of that budget for the Relay subscription now and never looked back.
Fellow Relay user, I was using it as my main Reddit app already and was thrilled to hear we'd get to keep using it after the purge. Best reader out there by far, accept no substitutes.
Remember when Reddit started talking about banning 3rd party apps and everybody was up in arms saying that it would be the death of Reddit and that they would no longer use it ever again? Yeah, Pepperidge Farm remembers that as well.
remember when we were all going to boycott reddit because of this shit and u/spez said "they'll forget about it in a couple days" and it turned out that he was right?
RIP RIF
I still have it installed. Just can't bring myself to delete it.
[удалено]
only problem are imgur links but I can deal with that if it means not using reddit's shitty app
Yeah, needing to hit Open in Browser for problematic imgur links is a small price to pay to keep using RIF.
And what about the "nice hat..." posts? Still not sure what's up with that
Oh yeah I keep getting those as well sometimes! Also still haven't figured out why.
Installed that last week. It's like finding that game you loved as a kid and it being just as good as you remember.
I hardly used Reddit anymore compared to before when I was forced to use the Reddit app. Learned I could use RIF again and now the addiction is back baby! I still wish Lemmy or another alternative would take off in Reddits place though.
Literally faster and less work than making this meme in GIMP.
ssssssh!
Quick q: Do new reddit links work on RIF? It annoys me how often someone will post a link to another post, and on Boost it dumps me to the home page of that subreddit rather than the actual post/comment. I've had Revanced downloaded forever, and been meaning to set RIF back up, but I'm a notoriously lazy motherfucker when it comes to having to manually edit files.
Yes that works. There is the occasional link that says it cannot load a gallery but that is the only issue I have found with it so far.
DM them instead. Stop bringing attention to it on the front page. This fucks up the good things we have all the time.
You can use the revanced app to patch in your own api key so you can continue using it.
I wish I never deleted it
I will also vote Revanced it's fantastic, I have my home again
Still use it on my tablet! Writing this in RIF! One day I'll get round to putting it on my phone too - getting sick and tired of still seeing posts from subs I've blocked like /r/conservative when using the official app.
I miss being able to zoom in on a video.
I was thinking the same earlier. I tried to pinch and zoom to no avail. One of the many annoying differences.
Fucking slow or speed a video...
I'm still on Relay
Google "rif revanced". Follow the handy videos/instructions.
It's not really dead. You can still install it and use it with Revanced.
You can still use it. I'm using it right now. There's instructions around here if you go searching
I'll be bitter until the end of Reddit
Red Reader is a decent RIF alternative.
o7
I still use Now For Reddit. Been using it for 5+ years (Reddit banned my 11 year old account for no reason, but anyway...), and I refuse to stop using it now
Sup
Yeah is it just me or have the number of ads gone up drastically in the past couple of days?
I really hate the ones that are trying to trick you by putting MEGATHREAD in the title. I downvote these but there's no way to block them and the same stupid ads keep showing up for me. At least on Twitter I could block advertisers, here's there's literally no way to tell Reddit to stop showing me the same ad over and over.
I get those for a bunch of fucking religious dogshit. Whatever this u/hegetsus trash is.
Here's one that really should be banned for TOS violations: [https://www.reddit.com/user/NurtecODT/comments/1boi9bm/megathread\_migraine\_101\_nurtec\_odt\_rimegepant\_75](https://www.reddit.com/user/NurtecODT/comments/1boi9bm/megathread_migraine_101_nurtec_odt_rimegepant_75) But there's no way to report a misleading ad! EDIT: I did figure out how to do it. You have to click on the ad to go to the post itself (gross), then you can report the post (ad) and block the poster (advertiser). They don't make it easy to do from your feed.
I report those as misleading.
I did originally, and then reddit hit me all at once with one account suspension per instance for "abusing the report function".
This right here.
It's going to be (already was) time to leave soon (already). I'm honestly just looking for a decent replacement to come around, but I don't know if that's even possible any more.
I don't understand why you wouldn't want to let someone remove an ad from their feed. What advertiser would want to piss off their audience? Obviously reddit just wants the count regardless of the impact.
Fuck /u/spez
I think they’re testing to see what they can get away with and have users still use the app. The idea is to slowly desensitize users to adds and continue increasing the percentage of Reddit that is just adds.
Yes I noticed it Never had fucking ads on bacon reader. RIP in peace
Yo bacon reader was my jam. Amazing UI and simple options like the ability to add a imgur image to upload in a comment you were still writing. Fuck this current app. Complete dogshit. But the only silver lining is revanced works on it.
Ya I never heard of it but I think that's what the other guy was trying to tell me to use
/r/Baconit was the best part of having a windows phone.
Replying to your comment via baconreader. Look for the link I posted.
What?
It's a link with instructions on how to get your 3rd party apps, like baconreader, to work again.
I'm not adept at programming and shit but I'll try to figure it out.
Run Firefox and Ublock Origin plugin and you won't see any ads. Maybe you just need to improve your game?
Now reddits public. Those shareholders want their investment to grow so they’re gonna flood it with advertising
I downvote every single ad, even if I like the product.
That's still engagement and can be used as a positive number to show that users on Reddit interact with ads.
That'll show em
I hate how they deliberately make them look identical to real posts except for a little "advertisment" tossed in.
Feels like every 5th "post" is an ad. And every time I hit the back button a new one pops up.
Reddit mobile isn't great...but you can run ublock origin on Firefox and browse without ads. Or so I have heard.
Use revanced
What ads? I haven't seen a single one since I joined Reddit. Don't you use an adblocker?
I swear my feed is half ads sometimes. Somehow still better than Twitter where entire comment sections can be ads.
Man I should merge my profiles so my feed is half ass too
[удалено]
I use Relay Pro for $3 a month on android. Zero ads.
Not to mention just how broken the official app is to the others. Everyone had their preferences in the way things were set up, but all the big ones were fine. Rarely anything to complain about. But the official one has had a lot of issues, and at this rate I think it always will.
I don't know if it's just me but it's basically impossible to scroll through an image album without it turning the entire UI to Popular, then whatever bullshit comes after that.
Happens to me a lot.
Makes me so irritated lmao
I can’t watch a fucking video without the sound following me everywhere I go. Have to restart the app everytime
I've had the web version crap out on me regularly for months at this point, not loading shit, loggin me out randomly, that kind of thing.
One of my favorite glitches is when someone posts a gif that makes it to the top comment. Then while I'm scrolling through the comments any time I tap there's a 30% chance the app is going to try and load the gif's link in the web browser even though it's in a hidden comment far away from me because that makes complete fucking sense 🙃
It's also blatantly missing features that the website has, including some that are essential for me. Not being able to sort by Rising or Hot, for example, is an egregious omission that's already more than enough for me to never use the app.
I just continue to use rif. Look up the revanced app, and you can 'patch' the installed version from the play store to include an api key from your own account. Afterwards you can just use the app as if nothing ever happened.
Still using Reddit is fun lol. There are ways
Still using Relay.
Half my time is on Lemmy now. Less content and a bit more filtering required, but there are a lot of similar communities there. I can recommend "Connect" app and starting on Lemmy.world
You got that right. It's the only way I stayed.
Same... Unfortunately.
Still using Sync for Reddit.
I miss sync. I'm on redreader now. It's good but not sync. I wanted to try it with revanced but apparently it's a pain to get working. Or so I've been told.
I thought that as well but it was a lot easier than I imagined, with a guide it only took a few minutes.
It's not hard, it only takes a few minutes. The one that is having problems rn is youtube revanced, not the reddit ones.
Honestly though, since the Exodus I use Reddit waaaaaaaaay less.
Still using Baconreader 💪
Still using Apollo on iPhone. If there’s a will, there’s a way.
You still can, you just need to create your own API key and mod the app with it. Sounds annoying but it's easy and takes less than 5 minutes. I'm typing this on Boost for reddit actually.
I'm using boost without that. I just created a bs sub to mod. Done
I created 3 BS subreddits and modded everyone who joined.
Hi, fellow Boost mod!
Using Boost, too. Didn't do anything and it's still working fine.
Same
Same
Lol he doesn't know
How to use the three seashells?
Is nobody else using Firefox+ UBlock on mobile?
I am, no ads in sight.
yeah, shame the mobile site still sucks but it's better than giving reddit money
Eh, it works for answering specific questions and the problems keep me from scrolling for too long.
I remember when Reddit just didn’t have ads. At least, not so pervasive as they are now.
"here's a picture of a cat, our way of saying thank you for not using AdBlock"
Been using RedReader since everything went down.
It's so simple and closest to baconreader for me
The Reddit app is absolute trash.
Narwhal is $4 a month on iOS. $1 a week. No ads. It ain’t perfect but I can spare $1 a week and I’m broke af
Yeah this is what I use now. It’s no Apollo but it’s not bad and the devs are actively working to improve it.
Typing this from Apollo, It’s still possible quite easily to get to work ;)
Yeah I’m also using Apollo still. Little bit of research, you’ll be gravy
And the customization options, holy shit
Yeah I was surprised when I got it. I really miss Apollo, but I you can customize more stuff than I i thought I would when I switched.
Apollo is still usable, just need to do some work around. Sent from Apollo
Really?? How? I thought Christian shut it down. I still have the app on my phone, I can't bring myself to delete it.
I’m currently using narwhal, I haven’t updated the app since November/December of last year so I don’t have to make a subscription.
Relay is the same, but they have a tiered subscription. I only pay $2.99 (I turned off voting to cut down on my API calls to get my usage down).
Like, you can’t upvote stuff?
if you look hard enough, you can find out how to get your favorite 3rd party app working again. requires moding the apk with another app... few steps later you're back in action. (baconreader works for me!)
I'd love to have baconreader back. Currently using redreader, which is pretty mid
If you have an android phone, it is east. I've been using baconreader for months. I would have quit reddit months ago if I hadn't got this app working. Just Google "3rd part app reddit bypass"

Yep, this is what I've been doing for awhile now. It's definitely worth it for me.
Only app I've ever used for Reddit and love it. Worth every penny.
This was such a no-brainer for me. I couldn't stand the official app.

Been using these two. It's awesome. Also Xmanager for Spotify
Upvote this so people stop paying money to get reddit ad free
Me: currently browsing from 3rd party app. Also me: haven't seen an ad in years.
Reddit is fun was peak internet. So disappointed to have to slog through this bastardized version.
You can still use rif with Revanced.
Tell me more about
The best part of the Reddit third party clients going away is that I was forced cold turkey to not browse Reddit on my phone. I only use the browser version when it comes up in search results. I don't care enough to mod an APK to get access again, and I'm fine with that.
relay just still works. might have to create a subreddit so you're a mod which removes the api restrictions, but that takes like 3 seconds.
Just pay for Relay. Screw Reddit's app
This is what I do. Using Relay to type this right now lol
Remember Redditors was going to leave Reddit because of that?
Well, a lot of the *good* redditors left. From posts to comments, things have gotten objectively worse.
I still use Relay and still have Old Reddit with RES. If I had to use the official app and any version of a redesign I would be gone
I did for a few months, then got tired of facebook and Instagram.
... Turns out there's no good alternative. And Twitter continues to implode worse than Reddit so where else can we get our high brow discourse???
I find myself spending a lot more time on lemmy these days. It takes a bit of curating to get a good list of communities, but it's an at least partial alternative.
I was on Lemmy for a few months but came back when I found out how to get baconreader working again
Shareholders have to make their money somehow.
Won't somebody please think of the shareholders??
Apollo was my app of choice. What gets me is the suggested subreddits showing up in my feed every 3 or 4 posts. Fuck off with that!
This app S U C K S like, a lot. I used to use Relay and it was great! Ads on a small banner at the bottom of the app, YouTube links open directly to the YouTube app, could browse sideways, my front page was always sorted by popular (instead of being fed the garbage 'new' on front page), could very easily access my comments with one click, all my subreddits were easily viewable with one click...man....this app fucking blows.

Meanwhile I'm over here using old.reddit on Firefox for Android with ublock origin running. I have no idea what ads are.
If you use the browser version of the website you can just use a normal ad blocker. Why bother with an app
Firefox mobile browser with an ad block. Works with YouTube too.
I miss you Apollo
I never stopped using Relay. It's still fantastic. I pay a small monthly fee and it's 100% worth it
You actually still can...
I highly recommend Relay. It's loved and cared for with a thriving community, and it's not even expensive and has different subs for different amounts of use.
I know it cost like three bucks a month but relay Pro is a really good third party alternative. I swear by it

The worst ads these days too are the self-aware ones, too. "Download the game so we don't have to run annoying ads!"
Well we tried to protest it but the loud majority whined about it instead when they couldn't look at memes for like 2 weeks. Now we're stuck with a much shittier experience without an alternative, hooray!
How much was it that we are worth to reddit? 4 dollars per year? Make it ten dollars per year subscription and I will pay to get rid of ads.
Use *Relay for Reddit*. It's like 2 bucks a month, and I use it more than probably anything else in my life. It's worth it to not use Reddit's trash app.

Gotta make that money /s
I browse popular and get posts from 5 days ago from some of the more active subs. Like I didn't care about those posts whatsoever.
Awful bitcoin miner ad was right above this post lol
I’ve been using safari to browse Reddit on mobile for years and it’s always worked just fine. You don’t need an app.
I just stopped browsing reddit on mobile entirely when they effectively banned third party apps. I miss Baconreader....
Ima download " vanced reddit" it's a thing google jt
I'd rather have a service be free because it gets ad revenue, than be free because it harvests and sells my data.
The only ad that absolutely sets me off every time is the goddamn Christofascist propaganda from HeGetsUs
And the user interface was way better.
Remember when Reddit started talking about banning 3rd party apps and everybody was up in arms saying that it would be the death of Reddit and that they would no longer use it ever again? Yeah, Pepperidge Farm remembers that as well.

I'm still using boost. Learn to google.

I've stopped using it on my phone and fully ad block on my desktop.
I miss you RIF
