Some Reddit users have noticed that they can’t sign-in to their accounts anymore on mobile, as the option to do so has been removed for them. Reddit has made it difficult in the past for users to access the site on mobile in browsers. The company’s main intention is to get users to use the official Reddit application instead.
I checked out the official reddit app just out of curiosity. What a shit show. It felt like half the posts were ads or “recommended” posts. Spent a whole 5 minutes before deleting. Relay or nothing.
Best advertisement ever for Lemmy

I saw this two weeks ago. I had a few days where I thought I was going crazy because there was no “log in” link in the header, just a more obnoxious “open the app” button instead. After a few days I did see the log in button again, but I had already accepted the fact that I’d only be allowed to use their mobile app and convinced myself I’d close my account (which I subsequently did two weeks later)
Is anyone else also been gettin loading errors on Apollo since yesterday? I’ve stayed off since then but seems like they are already messing with API access already.
Same here.
Damn, Reddit must really not want me back. If I can’t use Boost or at least the mobile version of Firefox with ublock installed there is no way I’m going back. Thankfully I’m quite happy on Lemmy and don’t really miss Reddit.
reddit ? what is it ? a new platform ? is there anybody here who knows what it is ?
I assume they want people to avoid using mobile browsers to bypass ads. Which, I’m done with reddit at this point. Just shooting themselves in the foot at this point to drive away the very thing that keeps them afloat, free content.
