Finally tried the official Reddit app. It’s as bad as they say.

You won’t have ads if you pay the subscription or install a system level as blocker

…though if they do what YouTube is trying out, a system level blocker will eventually end up getting you locked out of the site.

Or get revanced and install their version so you can browse ad-free because the old content there is invaluable. BTW, if you do that, use the old account you got locked out of. It’s unlocked now. Don’t go giving them the benefit of a new sign up.

In my experience reddits ads are served from reddit itself, so even my pihole does not block it.

Is this bait? I don’t really get ads on the reddit app, but then again I patched it with Revanced manager.

Wait, so you patched it without having any idea what the patches actually changed?

Bruh, you seriously calling this bait because you don’t get ads even though you used a no ads patch?

Hey, cut him a break - do you know how much power Reddit’s app consumes digging through all the information on your phone, watching where you pause in your doomscrolling, sending all that back to Reddit HQ, and darkpatterning you so you get more ads in front of your eyeballs?

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
