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.

    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”.
