- anonred 3y agoVery interested about this too. It’s missing important features from the official app like chats and live threads.
- kitsunesoba 3y agoI don’t think I’ve ever had a legitimate use for Reddit chat… the only time I’ve ever been messaged is by spambots and any redditor I care to message is also on some other platform that does messaging better.
- anonred 3y agoI buy/sell physical goods on several large subreddits and I’ve found that chats are the fastest way to get a response and close a deal. The old private message system is clunky by comparison.
- tommit 3y agoI'm gonna go ahead and say everything. It's faster, no ads, beautifully designed so that it really shines on iOS, you can customize it to no end, ... the list goes on. Check it out on the AppStore if you like (or wait and see how this all turns out beforehand).
- kitsunesoba 3y agoA big thing for me is no mystery meat algorithmic feeds… just the subreddits you’ve subscribed to or /all or /popular if you want to look at those. The official Reddit app is bad about doing things like showing you posts from washing machine subreddits because you looked at a post about washing machines once months ago while doing purchase research and it’s really annoying.
- tommit 3y agoOh there's none of that. You only see the subreddits you visit or any conglomeration thereof, such as multireddits or simply the frontpage. Unless you're subscribed to r/washingmachines, you'll never see a post from there. I didn't even know that was a thing in the official app, that turns me off even more.
