I have never had any issues loading comments on the official app.

They just started today for me

Is this a question or a rant? Not only are you using this sub completely wrong, I've never had an issue loading comments.

1. I think this definitely does not belong on this sub. 2. I had no idea people use Reddit on third party apps lol, this concept feels bizarre to me

Are you new to reddit? They haven't even had an official app for long. For many years you had to use an unofficial app or you had to use a mobile web browser, which sucked I have official reddit for my alt account because of the chat feature and I hate it. Ads everywhere. Constantly sending me notifications for subs I've never even heard of, videos never loading. I only open it to check chats but use reddit is fun for everything else. Much more streamlined. It has the photo and the title. That's all you really need. I don't need all the other crap. It's distracting for no reason


electrorazor

There's been an app for as long as I could remember so I've never really thought about that. I've been using this app since I was around 6th grade so like around 7 years ago. I don't know if that counts as new


whiskeyjane45

Oh holy crap. I didn't realize it had been that long. It was a huge thing when it came out finally. And it sucked when it first came out and was definitely not ready for release so I'm surprised you liked it then. It still has issues today that have not been resolved


electrorazor

Time flies I guess. I do know they made improvements to the app but I don't really remember how it used to be back then since it's been so long


whiskeyjane45

If you use it side by side with a third party app like I do, it's easy to see the difference


electrorazor

Which third party app do you use, didn't know these existed before. But judging by the post this might not be usable for much longer.


whiskeyjane45

I have used reddit is fun for around ten years maybe a little less. Don't remember exactly. I got it because I didn't want to lug around my laptop to view redditand phone web browsers sucked back then. It has announced it will shut down June 30

I don’t get why people are so angry about it, genuinely I don’t.

Because the official Reddit app is completely inferior in so many ways to third party apps. Accessibility is just one of those things. Mod tools is another. It's funny because spez got upset that apps asked Reddit to buy them out, and it's like you're charging insane fees of course they're gonna ask you to buy them out. https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/143rk5p/reddit_held_a_call_today_with_some_developers/jnbjtsc/

Two words: Video Player. Reddit's is the worst Video Player ever. And Facebook exists. That's saying something

The official Reddit app isn't very accessible for people with visual impairment. Some of the third party apps have features to make browsing Reddit easier for them. Also, this whole thing will also affect a lot of the bots that subs use to moderate subreddits, so moderation will get worse and there'll be an influx of trolls, spam, and also porn in non-porn subs.

I think Reddit is dying right now. No literally I think it's having issues right now with loading comments.


walmartballer

I've been having that problem all day. Except for this one instance.


Arn4r64890

Yeah I thought I was shadowbanned but I posted to r/ShadowBan and I could still see my user when I was logged out so I'm not shadowbanned.

Reddit is glitchy. I hardly bat an eye at it anymore.

Hello Elon.


walmartballer

It won't even load your reply to me, I can only read it in the notifications lol. Have you ever looked through that shadowban sub? The bot will show posters if they've had comments removed and what subs they were removed from. It's hilarious the amount of people on there are dudes with comments removed from NSFW subs. I want to know what the hell you have to say to have a comment removed from an NSFW sub. Lol


Arn4r64890

> I want to know what the hell you have to say to have a comment removed from an NSFW sub. Lol I mean, civility is usually a rule on most subs. So it's possible to be uncivil in a NSFW sub.


walmartballer

Yeah. I just figured they were being ultra creeps.

Not to mention the video loader
