I have to say I am also surprised at the number of people that claim the official Reddit app is garbage. I switch between the official and 3rd party apps. I’ve never loved the official app by any means, but it’s functional. Just as any social media app is nowadays.
The perspective I understand is people who use 3rd party apps for greater accessibility options. The official app is severely lacking in its accommodations for people with disabilities. That’s why I have stopped using Reddit.
For sure. Can see a lot of skepticism that the upcoming accessibility and moderation updates will be enough - or even be the right ones, see for example https://teddit.adminforge.de/r/modnews/comments/14he7nz/accessibility_updates_to_mod_tools_part_1/
I tried using it for a few months. I was using Sync and got a new phone, decided to give the official app a shot and I had a miserable experience. Ended up using RiF the last few years and have zero desire for the kind of user experience the official app provides.
