Why should I download Reddit?
What are the alternatives to Reddit?
What operating systems are compatible with Reddit?
I moved over to Relay after 12 years of using Reddit is Fun. When I got the notification that Relay will implement a subscription feature I was excited that this app will at least stick around. Then against my better judgement I decided to finally download the official Reddit app to check out if it's really so bad that it's worth spending 60$ a year to have to use it. It's so much worse. The layout and UI are so bad and unintuitive. Everything looks like a toy version of Reddit. I don't know if there is no frontpage or if it's just so hidden behind other bullshit that I couldn't find it but instead I was presented with my "Home Page" which was a mix of popular subreddits and subreddits (or excuse me "communities" is apparently the word they chose) that where picked based on my location. So instead of content I'm actually subscribed to most of what I was shown was TV shows I've never heard of, football teams I don't care about and news about German YouTubers.
I tried to check out some individual subreddits and while getting there the first time is tedious it's much more annoying that every subreddit you look at for any amount of time gets pinned at the top of the list in a recently used tab. This clutters everything up even more. I deleted the app after around 10 minutes and decided this is definitely worth the money I'll pay for the subscription. And I never had a subscription to an app or game or anything except Spotify and Netflix. But I'll pay to not have to use the shitty official Reddit App. I'm lucky enough that I can pay for the subscription. This app is actually really great.
TL:DR It's worth more than the price to not have to use the official app.
Looking to explore Reddit as a new social. I’m not normally one for paywall stuff but Premium looks pretty cool from a quick glance.
Any Premium members here who could give their opinion?
Thanks!
