[–] redcalcium@c.calciumlabs.com 29 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (3 children) It's simple, really. if you have Reddit app installed, uninstall it first download revanced manager and install the apk. https://revanced.app/ find Reddit app's apk in apkmirror.com and download it open revanced manager and select Patcher -> "select an application" -> storage and select the downloaded Reddit apk. make sure "disable ads" is in the list of selected patches run the patcher, wait until it completed don't install the resulting apk right away yet. Instead, open the "..." menu on the top right of the screen and backup the patched apk close the revanced manager app and open your file manager. Locate the patched apk you just backed up in the download folder, then install it. Note that I haven't actually tested this with actual Reddit app. Edit: oops, replied to a wrong thread permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Darc@lemmy.world 19 points 3 years ago (1 child) Instructions unclear: iPhone now running Windows Subsystem for Android.

It's just a rippoff off all the terible algorihtm based Facebook, Twitter and Instagram apps that constantly show me posts that i've neither subscribed to nor I am interested to see.
