there are still occasions where I end up on reddit for information and I'm so fucking happy I didn't delete my account because you can still use old reddit if you have an account
I still search for information I need, I just can't participate. Btw I was banned from a niche subreddit and made a new account 4 years later and one mod found out who I was and it was over.
I was off the app for over a year because of the API change. Decided to make a new account and lurked for a while before there was a comment I really wanted to reply to. I wrote out the perfect reply and my phone locked when I looked away for a few seconds. I unlocked the phone and my comment was gone. I went looking in the help menu to see if there was a place to suggest features like auto-save. Nothing. So, I made a new subreddit for reddit feature suggestions and spent like an hour writing a post explaining my experience. I hit post and the app went back to home. My post was gone.
Since then, I've made about a dozen comments in various places. On my old account, I would get dozens or hundreds of upvotes per comment, so it's surprising that regardless of what I say or where, my new account has only 1 upvote on each comment. Almost like my account isn't being seen. Is this what we lost the good reddit apps for?
If you are on Android, use RedReader. It still works with full functionality as before, except that NSFW subs can't be opened. It's available on F Droid as well.

May his shopping trolley (shopping cart) always have a wheel which keeps sticking and steering him off to the side when he tries to go forwards.

may he randomly hear a mosquito fly past his ear anytime he's falling asleep

May his handful of Revels exclusively contain his least favourite flavour.

Do what I did and get permanently suspended. I'm happier now

Without an account the site is literally unusable

Sounds like you're shadowbanned.

ios RDX for reddit.
Or if on browser, just use Redlib

rdx is on Android too and browser too.

It’s made on purpose to have the awards button be where the upvote button used to be so your muscle memory makes you spend money.
