Welp this is my first post and looks like my exit from Reddit post. The only app I used for Reddit has officially died. Time to go all in on Lemmy and hope that the developer makes JoeyForLemmy. I like Joey, it was great.

I uexpressly used the official Reddit app and actually enjoyed the app slightly more than 3rd party ones before I deleted it. The 3rd party app nonsense was more of a final straw than really caring about 3rd party apps.
For myself I've seen a steady decline in Reddit for the past few years. It went from a cool and quirky community of people, to trolls and ads.
I left Reddit for the same reasons I left Insta and FB, because it wasn't why I wanted to be there in the first place anymore.
Those apps where there for me to connect with people. Not be sold and have my information be sold.
Reddit was created to share information and have like minded people come together under anonymity, not take my information or having me be sold via ads based off my subs to turn profit.
