I wish there was an alternative to leaving Reddit

    Have you tried using the mobile site? App selection on Android isn’t the best but the mobile site is actually pretty good.

        Yeah! I’m still new to everything here, but nothing has yet broken to the point of un-usability. That’s more than I can say for the official Reddit app. Lol.

          Same here. If I can’t use a 3rd party app to smooth over Reddit’s shit-filled cracks then I’m done with it. Jerboa seems ok so far. I’ve also signed up for a Mastodon account, awaiting approval, so I may end up using Fedilab

            You’ll have to find me again sometime to let me know how Mastodon works for you! I’ve considered it, but I was never really that big into social media, except for Reddit. Twitter was never appealing to me, so I guess I may have some bias there, but at the same time I’d like to get more involved with the fediverse as a whole.

            Best of luck to you!

      the mobile site is actually pretty good.

      It is, and I’m thinking about using it via the app Hermit - it’s really just a wrapper for the site, but it gives you a bit more of an app-like experience (its own icon, a customisable sidebar, various visual customisations).

      I already use it for a football forum I frequent, and honestly I sometimes forget that it’s not a native app.

      I’m writing this on Jerboa, and it’s pretty good, but I’m going to see if Hermit can match or better it.

      EDIT - Just to add to this - since I posted I’ve discovered there’s an update to Jerboa and it’s already looking like quite an improvement.

          Nice one! I’ve not yet really tried it for Lemmy, Jerboa’s still doing the job for me, but I will do at some point. Glad it’s working out for you :-)

      Except for the constant pestering to use the app that has been going on since about September last year. It’s why I went to Relay
