    Another sign Reddit was never interested in having third party apps at all. They want all mobile traffic through their own app.

      Which would be fine at all, you know. It’s their platform and their servers, and they can do what they want.

      Except for the fact that the official app is several orders of magnitude more primitive, inefficient and uncomfortable to use. Even more so for Android than for iOS

      Dystopia for Reddit seems like it has the best staying power since it serves an accessibility need that the bloated official app can’t. I’m down to that and Old Reddit. If they kill off both, I’m probably done.
