I Tried Reddit Again and it Sucks Now - eviltoast

I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it’s hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I’m not sure what’s up with that.

    In my case I still use the Stealth App. It doesn’t allow to login, nor vote or comment, but you can still follow the subreddits you want to. No ads, no usage of the API.

      How do I use it? I don’t want to give Reddit clicks but some subs never migrated over

        Install the app, optionally change the Reddit source in the options (soon you’ll be able to use a teddit proxy service to further obfuscate your profile, but for now I use the Web Scraping option), and enable some Privacy Enhancers, and you are good to go. To subscribe, search for a subreddit, open it, swipe left and click on “subscribe”.
