Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit?

• Nemo@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  because the official app is ad-infested bloatware without decent modtools that gobbles my data bucket and keeps trying to show me popular / all instead of just my subscriptions

  and because reddit cancelled all my coins and then brought out a new microtransaction currency within the year

  and because spez is a shill for the US President and his reactionary right-wing entourage

  Because:
  • The official app sucks
  • The new web interface is awful
  • The old web interface is painful on mobile
  • /u/spez is a piece of shit
  • The way they treated their free labor was disgusting
  • I have no desire to create content for them any longer (free or otherwise)
  • etc, etc, etc…

  Main reddit app and website user experience is garbage compared to 3rd party apps for lemmy.

  I left for the same reason. I browse on mobile and I genuinely tried for years to find in the official app where to just type in a subreddit. Like if I just heard about and wanted to go to r/whatever, there was no field to type in ‘whatever’. You could search, there was a dropdown of pre approved subs, or subs that passed a subscriber count, very rarely did it include what I was looking for. On Apollo it would take you to the sub you typed in. If advertisers or shareholders demand an unusable website then great I won’t use it.

  But why did you migrate entirely instead of just going to the main app or a browser with Ublock Origen?

  It doesn’t feel good being herded into increasingly constrained solutions.

  First they shut off the API, then all mobile apps, then various moderation tools…

  They just keep making the situation worse, intentionally, as much as they can get away with.

  In contrast, this place keeps getting better, as features are added to the Fediverse.
