Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.
JFC. That's like a 3/5th screen advertisement with enough room for 1 fucking post. Might as well only show ads at that point.
I only have it downloads for pne subreddit that hasn't switched over to lemmy yet
Holy shit there's Castle Tumbler? Sign me back up!
You won't have ads if you pay the subscription or install a system level as blocker
Or get revanced and install their version so you can browse ad-free because the old content there is invaluable. BTW, if you do that, use the old account you got locked out of. It's unlocked now. Don't go giving them the benefit of a new sign up.
Way to pick the busiest screen. Popular? Who uses that option anyway... has that Trending panel at the top making it look like a circus. App defaults to Home, which is much cleaner. Nice you picked the absolute worst screen possible.
Is this bait? I don't really get ads on the reddit app, but then again I patched it with Revanced manager.
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
