If reddit allowed third party apps again that would probably be enough to get me back. Maybe in another 5 years it won’t but right now Lemmy only wins cause the reddit app experience is bad enough to drive me away.
Yeah, turned out I was actually more loyal to the app I was using than I was to the platform. Though I was also pretty good to the platform, I contributed and interacted daily and often spent money buying gold. I tend to take the attitude that if I’m getting a lot of use out of something I don’t mind spending a little to support it. That’s all in the past now and I wonder how many other paying users they burned.

Reddits app was always bad. Even with all the hurdles and shitty stuff they do on mobile browser I still chose to be on browser
Boost for reddit was rhe only rzn I used reddit. But now, I switched over to tbis.
This seems tricky. If you see any ads in a 3rd party app, they’re going to support the developer instead of Reddit.
