If I'm forced to the official Reddit app, I'll go from following 30+ subreddits to only 5 or 6. And even those, I'll likely comment less on.

There are communities like /r/LEGO that I don't know of a replacement for. (Maybe there could be a thread where people post the Reddit communities that they miss and people reply with alternatives. Someone could even keep a list to make it easy to search.

I don't know if you've ever tried the official app, but that strategy wouldn't even help most likely. Every 3-5 posts that you see from your subscribed subs, they throw in a "recommended for you" nonsense post to try and drive your engagement. It's infuriating
