I uninstalled the app and switched to the browser version for this exact reason. Whatever algorithm they're using is hot garbage.

Any info on the inability to hide or mute posts?
This inability takes Reddit out of compliance with 2.1.18 of The iOS developer’s agreement because we can’t dismiss or hide ads, and they are masquerading as users in the feed.
This hasn’t even been acknowledged as an issue other than by a single admin comment. Thanks.

Yes, seconding this although for a different reason. I saw a post on the popular page just a minute ago that I wanted to hide due to disturbing/triggering content specified in the title and was really disheartened when I was unable to. This is a very important feature that needs to be restored ASAP.

u/Shiloh-sage Jul 15 '23
Yeah, I don’t always want to mute a whole subreddit when it’s just one post squicking me out

u/nobloodhier Jul 12 '23
So, there's no way to sort by hot, new or top? Wtf

u/HopeJN Jul 13 '23
Yes of course there is

u/Split_Open_and_Melt Jul 19 '23
only on subreddits, not on Home. it's terrible functionality

u/HopeJN Jul 19 '23
Yes you can do it on home.

u/Split_Open_and_Melt Jul 19 '23
No you can’t any more - at least not on an updated version of the app. There is no more best, hot, rising etc. They have Home, popular, latest, and news. 👎👎

- Is the disappearing comment box fixed?

I don’t know why I get myself excited for these app updates.
When I was moved away from Apollo I had hope that Reddit had some grand scheme, some secret updates up their sleeves, that would overhaul the official app into god tier proportions. Something that would show, not only are we (let’s be real here) forcing you away from a vast majority of third party apps, but you’re going to WANT to come to the official app with all we’re doing.
But they aren’t. In my time on the official app, I’ve learned that they are actively losing features. I’ve seen many bugs and many features break, and in vast hard contrast to most third party devs, the Reddit team bar one or two mods like u/CorrectScale, don’t even care enough to comment.
Reddit has very poor transparency with its users and seems to be generally disconnected from its user base. Instead of giving them what they want, they give them what they think they want and ignore the backlash when it happens.
So honestly, the official reddit app experience is bad. It doesn’t have to be bad, and maybe a year from now I won’t think it’s bad, but right now it is. I’m sad I’ve lost Apollo, something I’ve used and gotten used to as a power user. I’m even sadder that this is what I was moved into.
So if any admins are listening, and care; please. Push for your user base. Push for advanced features like customization and personalization. Push for your user base. If not, eventually a “Threads” will come along for Reddit and challenge it in the same way, and with the current climate of Reddit, I’m not sure it’ll take much for people to move along.

u/Rabidmaniac Jul 13 '23
It’s almost like Reddit doesn’t realize, or care, that the issue isn’t just that users prefer 3rd party apps, it’s that the first party app is miserable to use.
If Reddit had a half-decent app, the pushback to the api changes would’ve been far less.

u/jokerzwyld77 Jul 12 '23
And yet, still no way to make the text larger on Android. What exactly is being "fixed" in the updates????

u/Katie0690 iOS 16 Jul 12 '23
Not on iOS for iPad either, I have it set to Watermelon but it’s still tiny af and doesn’t help my eyes.

Once again iPad app is broken and can’t scroll the home feed in the margins. Glad it’s my only choice now.

u/Helios Jul 12 '23
The scrolling speed on the Home and Popular pages is slower than when scrolling a subreddit. Is it intentional or a bug?

u/CorrectScale Reddit Admin Jul 13 '23
That would be a bug that we're looking into!
2
u/Helios Jul 13 '23
Thanks! I don't know whether it occurs on a specific or all devices, but I see this issue on Galaxy S21FE. It feels as if the page resists scrolling and scrolls to a shorter distance than when scrolling sub pages or in other apps.
2
u/Helios Jul 20 '23
A little update. Now the Home page scrolling is fixed (I noticed this change yesterday), with font sizes in line with font sizes used in subs. However, the Popular and Latest pages are still behind, with smaller fonts and slower and sometimes irregular scrolling speed. Hope that they will be fixed too.

Oh wow so no other changes besides that huh?
I can click on comments from my profile now though though that's fixed at least

u/RyuNoKami Jul 14 '23
still no landscape mode huh?

u/SpecialistFile0 Jul 20 '23
Seriously. A basic feature on most apps. That’s why I moved to third party in the first place.

u/Im_Jeff_Goldblum Jul 12 '23
What bugs were fixed? Why is homepage post sorting still missing? Why can we not hide or mute posts? Why are feature being removed?

How is it we still have issues of the wrong thumbnails being shown?
It’s almost comical at this stage.

u/angry-dragonfly Android 13 Jul 17 '23
How did you add an image to your comment on this subreddit? I don't have the option :(
Edit: Nvm, restarted the app and the option was there again, lmao. Buggy app.

u/ValorFormSor Jul 12 '23
I havent been able to actually download the reddit app since i had to get my phone replaced. Literally the app doesnt show up on the app store.
I dont have any way of using reddit anymore. So long

Chat notifications have completely stopped working on iPhone. I’m still getting notifications for subreddits but nada for chats. This has been going on for over a week now. It’s annoying to have to open the app over and over through out the day to look for messages, especially because I am so used to reading them from my notifications.
I was an Apollo user and only used the official app for chat. Now that Apollo is no more, I quickly remembered why I was only using it for chat.
Hopefully you can address the chat notification problem. If not, it’s starting to look like I’ll have to abandon Reddit altogether.

u/BambooSound iOS 13 (no longer supported) Jul 15 '23
Trying this app again after you lot killed the good one and it's honestly so so bad.
I hope the RoI isn't worth it and you all get scurvy

u/MilkMountain69 Jul 16 '23
I’m not getting new follow notifications, either as a push notification or in my activity tab

u/fowler699 Jul 20 '23 edited Jul 20 '23
Me, i thought i have solved that problem. Anyway check the silent notifications...🤗

u/Split_Open_and_Melt Jul 19 '23
Can no longer use the app without the ability to sort on the Home feed. It's absolute garbage posts now, mostly from 1-3 subreddits only.
How is the internal team not addressing this?

u/hitemlow Android 13 Jul 12 '23
There's a bug where there's a community tab at the bottom of my screen now, and there's no way to hide it.

u/CorrectScale Reddit Admin Jul 13 '23
Can you comment with a screenshot so I can better understand?

u/MoisterizeR Jul 15 '23
At the moment the order of the TikTok like scrolling of GIFs on a subreddit seems random. When will this follow the sorting method a user selects (so hot, top of the week etc)
Also, how will a user be able to see scroll both image posts and gif posts while using classic view? The old gallery mode was removed when the TikTok clone for GIFs was introduced.

u/angry-dragonfly Android 13 Jul 17 '23 edited Jul 17 '23
I have commented before and was hoping for some updated feedback on the issue with the smaller text size of titles on the Popular feed. I haven't touched my Popular feed since the update that broke the font and made it smaller. It is just awful looking and I can't comfortably scroll that feed. The app is updated on my device and I am running Android 13 on a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Please don't respond that it is a device setting because my Home feed looks just fine. Thank you for the updates and for taking the time to respond :)
Edit: Had to restart app to have option to add image to comment :( Also, home feed screenshot added as a reply to this comment.

Can someone at least acknowledge the bug that prevents moderators from looking at user profiles and/or moderator actions in my subreddits? When I try to see previous actions (previous removed posts/comments/etc), 98% of the ti,e I just get a box that says something went wrong. This happens on both my iPhone and my iPad for the past couple weeks. It makes it impossible to find out if a user needs to be banned and very difficult to actual ban someone or even just look at their profile.

Just some general feedback, but the tablet/ipad interface could really be do for an update/overhaul. The current version is essentially a blown up version of the iPhone app and it shows. There's a lot of behaviors/designs which is fine on mobile but not for a tablet. Better use of the screen real estate, polish, etc could really do wonders. I generally really like the mobile app on my phone, but i almost never use Reddit on my iPad anymore besides maybe the desktop version due to how unoptimized it is. If this could be considered for the future, that would be nice lol.

u/Masterofunlocking1 Jul 19 '23
Can they please fix the stupid upvote button brining up the share page? This was in the old version too! Love how they expect you to use this half baked app when we had perfectly working alternatives.

Not to sound like a broken record but you do know we can't actually SEE what the bug fixes are, right? Neither app store page shows us.
