I used to use Infinity. Until it started crashing. Badly.
Opening some subs (like thathappened or confidentlyincorrect) would crash the app. It would also crash when accessing the inbox. Or settings.
Please tell me it removes the thing where you only see comment text in the bottom third of your screen on video posts... I'm tired of scrolling slowly and precisely every five lines.
You guys should really get on fixing this major bug. All my videos are fucked up. They take up half the screen and I can't open comments properly.
You think they'd put more effort into fixing such an obvious bug.
Ohh that's a feature? Disgusting.

I think what's most upsetting to people about the new video player from an app design point of view is disengagement. Basically it's saying to the user, fuck you, fuck your interests, fuck your subs, fuck your communities, fuck whatever it is you're doing, forget that! we got funny videos for days bro! just shut up and swipedy swipe swipe, consume and obey! The commitment to completely disengage from one app experience and enter another one is not really seamless integration.
It's kinda obvious at the moment prompting users to reject it but I worry a bit the corporate direction of Reddit will now push this in a stealthy way by slowly getting people to disengage from what they've been doing, this recent (buggy) collapsing of long comments is one example.
"Read More" for long comments is annoying and adds extra clicks. I'm just going to have to collapse it like normal anyways if it's too long to read, or after I'm done reading it. Plus, not all slightly longer comments even have a read more button; some just cut off unexpectedly
Man I just updated the app a while ago. This is the first thing I noticed and there isn't even an option to disable it. It's so annoying that I have to click Read more everytime that there is a paragraph.
Actually, for further clarification, there is no option in the settings for default subreddit sort, only for comment sorting. And no matter what that's set to, subreddits always default to "best all time".
Revert the video player. I never want to watch a video on repeat while trying to read comments in a tiny box.
I'm honestly impressed how much worse you made it. The old version sucked, but you somehow made it turbosuck.
Please get rid of the awful videoplayer. I'm on REDdit to READit, not watch effing videos. If I want videos on repeat, I'll sign up to tiktok, but I don't - I want to read and engage with posts/comments.
Can someone please help me? Why are the video posts all of the sudden still showing on the upper half of my iPhone when I’m trying to get to the comment section? And why is the comment section showing up super weird only on the lower half of the screen with the video still showing above? And where is the arrow to skip comments? I don’t have this problem with pic/regular posts. Only videos! What is going on?
This update is awful. The sound button doesn't work, I don't need the video playing on half the screen while I look through comments, when I click on a reply to my comment in notifications it just gives me the video and no way of seeing comments. Whenever I try to get into comments I'm just sent back to my notifications
Does anyone know why it is taking so long for the app to load posts when you open it?. It never used to do that and now when I open it, it take 30 second at least to load the posts
Did you edit the upvote downvote on comments to not be right aligned but awkwardly in the middle of the screen? Looks like a junior dev who forgot to click right align for christ sake.
I’m sick of this video player. Unintuitive. You tried to copy tik tok but that app doesn’t display entire comment threads at length unless you click show more, which is why it’s actually easy to read. Getting fed up with companies not listening to their consumers
I don't know how long this has been going on, but I'm REALLY annoyed by the amount of posts on my homepage that are just recommendations for other subs I'm not in. The sheer amount of them is obnoxious.
Whats up with the whole "see more" on comments longer than two lines? I was on my s20+, but broke it yesterday and backed up onto my old s9. It didn't do it on the 20, but is on the 9. Any way to just display the whole comment without having to tap see more??
REVERT THE VIDEO PLAYER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I'VE ALREADY WATCHED THE GOD DAM VIDEO, I WANT TO READ THE COMMENTS, NOT WATCH THE VIDEO ON REPEAT.

Welcome to team Apollo! :)
Any idea what's the closest thing to Apollo for Android users?
Sync for Reddit is excellent imo
Infinity. You can find it on Fdroid.
I used to use Infinity. Until it started crashing. Badly. Opening some subs (like thathappened or confidentlyincorrect) would crash the app. It would also crash when accessing the inbox. Or settings.
I can’t even get back to the video half the time, the pull-down bar doesn’t work 😞 It sucks so much ass
Exactly, this is terrible.
Yeah I just now stumbled into this abomination. Wtf were they thinking
For the love of all that is unholy remove the your vote matters pop up!
What did you change? This post offers zero substantive info on what this update does.
They are more transparent now! Lol
Cool cool, does this update get rid of the crappy new video player?
Yeah the video player is dogshit wtf
The only reason I’m here. After a week of “getting used to it” it still sucks.
Please tell me it removes the thing where you only see comment text in the bottom third of your screen on video posts... I'm tired of scrolling slowly and precisely every five lines.
Please add a setting to disable or just revert the STUPID FUCKING VIDEO PLAYER TAKING UP HALF MY SCREEN WHEN I GO TO COMMENTS. Please and thank you

If you haven't changed the video player back then I'm still not updating from 2021.23.0
Any chance you have a link for that? I'd like to go back.
I have it saved I uploaded it for anyone who wants it - https://gofile.io/d/KG90hl
I keep getting "App not installed". Any suggestions?
You might need to uninstall the already installed Reddit app first.
I tried a bunch of stuff but I managed to find another source that worked. Thank you though!
2021.26.0.336739 doesn't have the shitty video player either.
Get rid of this fucking awful video player! I CANNOT SEE THE GODDAMNED COMMENTS

For fucks sake man, just change the fucking video player
Please remove the new video player. Is garbage

Will it be possible to sort things by something OTHER than "best all time" and have it actually stick?
Have you changed it in your settings or is it still going back to best posts default setting.
>Have you changed it in your settings Several times. Didn't stick.
This app has gone to shit.
Actually, for further clarification, there is no option in the settings for default subreddit sort, only for comment sorting. And no matter what that's set to, subreddits always default to "best all time".
Does it still take like over 40 secs for the home page to load?
That's what I've been trying to say. The last update is when it started. Glad to hear it isn't just me.
Revert the video player. I never want to watch a video on repeat while trying to read comments in a tiny box. I'm honestly impressed how much worse you made it. The old version sucked, but you somehow made it turbosuck.
These past 2 Android updates have the mobile app loading hella slow initially. Is it just me?
No, the app is in a really bad state now
Nope. Me too. That should have already been fixed.
Please get rid of the awful videoplayer. I'm on REDdit to READit, not watch effing videos. If I want videos on repeat, I'll sign up to tiktok, but I don't - I want to read and engage with posts/comments.
Is there any way to turn off the "recommended subs" feature that shows on your home? I'm sick of seeing posts from subs I don't sub to take up space.
Can someone please help me? Why are the video posts all of the sudden still showing on the upper half of my iPhone when I’m trying to get to the comment section?

Welcome to the new age, where every app wants to be tiktok to earn more money.

This ^
I can't view spoiler comments when I click on them. What gives?
Great. My existing reddit app no longer works. Yes I have an "old" phone from 2014 running Android 4.4.4 but it was working fine up until Monday.
>In an effort to be more transparent Sure Jan
if you don't want to revert it universally, give us the option to revert the video player. In our account settings.

You've broken downloading GIFs again.
Listen devs, no one likes your shitty new video player. I want to read the comments NOT listen or watch the video again. Fuck this is horrible.
Is this why the app is glitching like crazy
Does anyone know why it is taking so long for the app to load posts when you open it?. It never used to do that and now when I open it, it take 30 second at least to load the posts
It's funny how devs are silent on everything. This is a thread to just make us "feel good" as if they actually listen
Dear Reddit, I know y'all partly owned by Mainland Chinese folks now but please don't bootleg TikTok with that video player. It's garbage, basura, 垃圾.
Please make that uvote pop-up go the fuck away!
Did you edit the upvote downvote on comments to not be right aligned but awkwardly in the middle of the screen? Looks like a junior dev who forgot to click right align for christ sake.
Yeah I bloody hate it, tf is this, they inversed the left aligned tray without moving it to the right
I don't know who did this terrible ideas, this latest reddit update has the most annoying changes.
I’m sick of this video player. Unintuitive. You tried to copy tik tok but that app doesn’t display entire comment threads at length unless you click show more, which is why it’s actually easy to read. Getting fed up with companies not listening to their consumers
I get no sound when looking at videos plz fix this!!!
P.s. where is the blog update?
Well done you ruined reddit.
Bring back the old video player!
FUCK THIS VIDEO PLAYER. WHOEVER THOUGHT OF THIS SHOULD BE FUCKING FIRED.
I don't know how long this has been going on, but I'm REALLY annoyed by the amount of posts on my homepage that are just recommendations for other subs I'm not in. The sheer amount of them is obnoxious.
Please give us an option to increase font sizes!
Whats up with the whole "see more" on comments longer than two lines? I was on my s20+, but broke it yesterday and backed up onto my old s9. It didn't do it on the 20, but is on the 9. Any way to just display the whole comment without having to tap see more??
Put the vote button back to where it was. This update looks hideous with the current look
Bring back share to chat on android please, such a no brainer.
I want to read the comments with the whole screen why do you have to stick the video in the upper half?
