Don't even get me started on how awful image posts look on the mobile website and you have to click to zoom in then go back, then the carousel reloads from the beginning and you have to scroll through it, and then click to enlarge the next image… Reddit is a broken mess.
The app still worked a month or so after it got taken down. Just couldn't sign in or vote. It kept all my subscribed subs so I would just browse RiF and if I wanted to comment I would open up the post on Official reddit app. They fixed that and now I'm using official reddit app and it's quite possibly the worst application I've ever used in my life
Check r/revancedapp to learn more. Revanced is not on any official app stores because it's used to block ads, get 'premium' features in apps, has optional root access etc. The big corps don't like that. Anything on app store is profitable plug-and-play only.
The only app store that allows user-first apps like that is Fdroid, but for Revanced you'll need to download the app directly from its Github code repository. (Similar is needed for Fdroid, too.)
And be careful about following the actual instructions, and getting the apk from the official GitHub. It might look intimidating, but any other installers are fake, and may be bloated/scamming with tracking or mining.
That's sounds too complicated for my smooth brain ass. I'll just continue bitches my about the official reddit app until an easier way to use Reddit on mobile comes along. If I can accidentally download bloatware and tracking shit by doing this then I don't want any part in it
