      You can use the Dawn app from the catalog F-droid.

    It became more and more disgusting. The API changes do not affect me at all but I took the opportunity and deleted my account there. Part out of protest, part out of not liking nowadays Reddit anymore.

      Was he better before? Other than changing the API and adding advertising, there don’t seem to be any changes to the web version. But I, as a newbie to this social network, may not know something.

    The app I used stopped working and the official reddit app is garbage that wouldn’t stop giving me push notifications for inane nonsense.

    The API changes didn’t really have an effect on me since I had always used the official Reddit app, and only switched to Apollo a week before the blackout. The reason I left is because Reddit’s response was really out of touch and insulting to its users. After coming to the fediverse I realised just how horrible Reddit has become and I don’t plan on going back.

    They killed third party apps and I’m not letting the official Reddit app within a mile of my phone.

      Not all third-party apps have stopped working. For example, the Dawn app from F-droid works well. There is also a Stealth application that does not have the ability to log in to your account.

    I took a break because of the blackout. I swore the site off forever when I saw Spez’s response to the blackout.

    I’d like to think it was my indignation at the API changes affecting 3rd party developers and horrible abuses of moderator privelige, but I think in my heart I know it was really just because RIF was going to stop working and I hate the official app.

    I left before the API fiasco because I was addicted. Had a brief, beautiful couple of months away from platforms like reddit. Now addicted to Lemmy instead.

      What can you say about the social network Mastodon?

        I think it’s the best replacement for Twitter if you’re someone trying to build an audience or if you want to be one of the audience. I’ve realized that I’m not either so I don’t really use it much.
