I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The "home feed" shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it's hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I'm not sure what's up with that.
I am using a shortcut to open a list of my preferred multireddits in Safari. I have the Noir dark mode app and old Reddit. only way it is bearable for me. Hard to abandon certain niche communities, but I realise in time, Reddit will become worse, and I will have to abandon it all together.
