  • Seriously, I've used the app for a while before finding out about Sync back when I used Android, then Apollo on iOS. I almost never browsed on mobile before then, it's absolutely terrible. I guess "normal" everyday users don't care, because they don't necessarily know they have alternatives, however. Guess this is what spez is banking on.

    • I used the official before switching to infinity. I didn't mind the official app that much in the beginning. I hated the ads disgusted as posts and how the just got more and more post like as time went on. But I did like the app a lot better then the web site and I never really used Reddit on Mt computer.

      Then I switched to Infinity, Loved it and could really see how bad the official app really was. So I just use infinity for some time.

      Then I got tiered of opening reddit links from the web when searching for stuff, as it took me to the web site and the constant nagging about downloading the app, and making browsing on the website close to impossible. So I downloaded the official app again and use it to open posts from the web.

      So I had the official one and Infinity together for a few days, it wasn't fun to use the official app but it was a lot more of a pain to use the website.

      Then I found out you could make infinity open reddit links, and I never used the official app again.

    • But even the "normal" users will notice the overall quality going to shit when all the people who were engaged are leaving.

      • Oh for sure. I’m sure they already noticed it. But I think a lot of users who are not so tech savvy will be rebutted by the whole “instance” and “federation” things. It’s not super intuitive for most people how it works yet

        • I assume some internet billionaire will eventually make another centralized platform for the Reddit crowd, and people will flock there. People will never learn from their past mistakes.
