Is it me or is Reddit really bad now? (hexbear.net)

Like the mobile app is really slow. I can click on a post over and over and it won't show the comments. Also most images don't seem to show. It seems like they have serious issues in the back end.

I guess, good riddance.

The thing I don't miss from Reddit is the constant nagging.

Visit a subreddit about skydiving for 5 seconds? Suddenly you get skydiving-related suggestions of communities ALL OF THE TIME. Forever.

No, I don't want to get notifications so I never miss news from this community /Dismiss popup

New notification? Let's see who posted something! Oh... It's just a Reddit feature ad. Yes I got it. /Dismiss fake notification.

And on, and on, and on. You can't spend a quiet 5 minutes reading things that interest you without your flow getting disrupted by pointless attention-grabbers.

That's something you don't get on Lemmy: it's opt-in, not opt-out: unless I look for something, it won't suggest anything to me or push anything on me that I have to dismiss.
