Be like me, only use old.reddit.com on desktop with ublock origins and rif is fun on your phone. Apollo if you're on iphone. Now more automatic playing video or ads. No more live streams either.

Why do you guys even use the official reddit app? Apps like Apollo are better in every single way. You literally have ads on the official app.

Not much of a fix, but a workaround, you can scroll back up by doing the following:
Scroll down, and without raising your finger off the screen, attempt to scroll back up.
Hopefully this works for you, worked for me

The most annoying thing is that none of these bugs happen if you just open Reddit as a website, but Reddit will constantly try to get you to use the app while on the website.

Worst thing is : the app was quite good several months ago
And then it all went to shit. They replaced the bad video player by a horrendous video player to be like tik tok, and it all went downhill from there

Will this work on the ads that start playing in comment sections? I have to keep my volume off on my phone while using the app because even if I have the videos on Reddit muted, if I open a comment section some loud af ad will start playing and I have to open the ad and then close it to make it stfu. Also how does it load the ads video so fast yet I wait 5 minutes for an image to load and then it just fucking gives up and just says can't load ...

u/DogmanDOTjpg Dec 01 '21
What is it with multi-million dollar companies being incapable of making a functioning app? Snapchat has been around for over a decade, it updates like every week. Somehow none of those versions have ever fully worked. Reddit could fucking clone some other Reddit browsing app and it would function infinitely better.
Spotify is the most heavily trafficked music streaming platform on earth and their app literally only works 10% of the time.

You can fix that by switching to a different mobile app, cause the official one sucks ass. I can recommend boost for Android phones and i heard Apollo is the way to go on ios.

For the love of god, don’t use the official Reddit app. Use one of a dozens of much better and more robust apps. iOS: Apollo, Reddit is Fun, Bacon Reader, etc. Android: Boost, Bacon Reader, Reddit is Fun, etc. all of them are far far superior to the official Reddit app.

try boost, have been using it for a while now and been loving it. took some getting used to tho and an annoying banner ads in the comments, but compared to all the bugs in the official reddit app this is much better.
there are even quality of life features that official reddit apps doesn't have. like a download button that doesn't suck, or default mute video playback, or a save button right on the card. those are just a few that i use :)
