I accidentally reinstalled it a few weeks ago. Never opened it. Today I got a push notification and I’ve never opened the app of logged in. What a bunch of shit.
The hottest of garbage
Yeah, the random push notifications were the main reason I uninstalled it before the whole API thing even started. I was logged in but never used it because I had Apollo. The only reason I even had it was because Apollo’s “Open in Apollo” function didn’t seem to work 100% of the time.
The official app would send me push notifications for trending posts on subs I wasn’t even subscribed to. I quickly got tired of it, and uninstalled it after like a week. Never looked back, and switched entirely to Apollo. Once the API shit hit the fan, I walked away and haven’t missed it. Looking back at all the background activity that the official app had, (it’s horrible for battery life because of all the massive amounts of telemetry it sends) I’m half convinced that the push notifications were simply an attempt to keep the app open in the background. Like if you force-closed it, they’d occasionally send you notifications simply to get you to open the app for a second so it can run in the background again.
At least for Android you can turn off push notifications. Long press the notification in question on the top pull down menu and pick your options.
Applicable for all apps, not just Reddit. Somhandy to silence irritating Uber Eats or Twitter crap.
You can do that in iOS too. But having notifications enabled for messages was nice. The problem was that the app didn’t have an obvious way to disable only the spammy notifications.
I was getting emails also. All of a sudden reddit decided I needed to know what subreddits were trending via email. I’d tell it to quit sending me that shit and it would send them again after like 2 weeks.
Just go to the permalink of the lower level comme… oh, right.
I am in disbelief, the last time I used reddit this was a solved issue, and now they’ve gone and unsolved it??
Regressions are a side effect of big buisness planning! 💪
it’s evolving, just backwards!
It’s gone to Warp 10 and is turning into a newt!

In dark mode, that actually looks like a LOL LOLing through space.
I swear I haven’t had psychadellics. In fact, it’d probably be a mesmerising trap on psychadellics.
Phone text, in general, is interesting on psychedelics. For me, text just turns into an incomprehensible squiggles that look kind of like letters but absolutely aren’t. Things that look dull usually tend to stay that way during a trip. Bright colors and tie-die are awesome though.
For me everything’s clear but text pops out and even flat UI takes 3D form. The glow is also pretty. The keyboard is the most fascinating part because it looks big and clear to fit the whole alphabet, and so my thumbs are fucking huge. Haven’t tried outside of dark mode, think I wouldn’t like it.
Whose garbage app? Never heard of this “red dit” place. What’s a “dit” and why isn’t it some other color?
I think I understand where you made the mistake, it’s not red dit, I think it’s supposed to be re ddit. It’s where they “did it” again (or “re did it”) but like All those other early 2000’s sites they just dropped a vowel so it’s just re ddit.
Ah, a common mistake to make. It’s not ‘re-ddit,’ Im pretty sure it comes from ‘reddi-t’ as in “Ready Tea” but like many early 2000s websites they tried to make it sound more approachable, so it’s just ‘reddi-t’ as your cup of tea will be cool enough to drink by the time it’s transmitted all your data.
Stop using it then 🤷♂️
Noooo I gotta write “
fellatefuck spez” so other ppl on reddit see that I am totally totally against reddit. Just gonna buy some reddit gold to really drive home the point!!!Reddit nfts I hope you mean
Spez hates him for discovering this one weird trick.
Fuck u/spez
But I like him/her/them even more!
Still have Apollo installed, and just installed Mlem. At this point I‘m not going to bother with going back to the frontpage of unawnsered questions
i haven’t mustered up the emotional fortitude to uninstall rif yet. still, i seem to have gotten out of the habit of absent mindedly opening it
That was me w baconreader for sure.
Now I have one Lemmy app for when lemmy.world is working, and another for when it isn’t.
Haven’t open baconreader in a while, but haven’t uninstalled it either.
“accessibility? what accessibility?” - reddit app
Hey, at least they’re being equitable about it, and making the site equally inaccessible for everyone!
Never seen official reddit app before, doesn’t look good.
Look at all those gorgeous lines, truly the peak of UX engineering
Kind of like The Matrix if The Matrix was braindead.
Well, delete it?
And don’t forget to leave it a negative review.
I dunno, it seems like it accomplishes its primary purpose well enough? Too bad for you that purpose is to deliver ads to the user to see while doomscrolling…and nothing else.:-(
If you’re that deep into a thread, it ain’t worth it anyway.
That’s a lotta lines of shit LOL!
yeah its so slow and buggy. i was on boost then all this shit happebed.
boost for lemmy when.
Not sure I’m going to support it when there all plenty of decent free third party apps. Been using Jerboa since I made the switch, and have enjoyed the interface quite a bit.
I just can’t get behind the idea of paying for the ad free experience. Still support the developer, but it better not be like Sync’s $20.
If only they had other alternatives to it. Nah, they’ll get it eventually.
Any day now.
