    The more I use Lemmy apps (favorite is Infinity), the more I realize what an awful experience the official Reddit app is. It’s so sluggish in a subtle way, it makes me tired to scroll. Plus, there’s tons of clutter, nothing is where it should be (e.g. r/all is at the very bottom of the left slider menu), and the app behaves in weird little ways (e.g. if you unmute a video, all your videos are now unmuted even if they’re autoplaying in the feed).

    Biggest offender is the ads. All over the feed and comments, created on purpose to blend in so you don’t immediately realize you’re being advertised to. But other than that, the official Reddit app is enshittification by a thousand little shitty design decisions.
