    I as lucky enough to use Apollo. As soon as it stopped working, Reddit became useless to me.

    (Or not useful enough to use their horrendous website, old.reddit website or official app)

      Yupp, as soon as i could no longer use RiF, I was done. Trying to mod a small community using the official app was basically impossible.

        Yep. The end of RIF and I went cold Turkey. I had already prepared by deleting/overwriting all of my content so leaving was easy. My three accounts combined had truckloads of karma, glad I am not chasing after that bullshit anymore.

            Me too. It’s been over a year since I did it so I don’t recall bthe name of the extension but it had two steps - first, overwriting everything with a gibberish comment, then delete. From what I understand even that isn’t very complete but it makes it more difficult for Reddit or other parties to simply restore your stuff.

      Same but with Infinity. Eternity works the same but uses Lemmy, so that’s what I picked.

        That’s what got me back here but then I found out how a custom ReVanced patch could be used to make it work again. The addiction can now continue uninterrupted!

          Followed that and I sign in and get an email that I linked the app and logged in but then boost only shows an anonymous account option

      I get bad service at my job and the reddit app won’t even load most of the time. I use Voyager with Lemmy and it loads just fine. I think it’s all the ads and trackers that reddit tries to load before the actual content.
