How is Reddit's current mobile site so bad?
When you try to edit a Reddit comment in their mobile web app, it deletes all line breaks from your comment so you have to remember to manually put them back before submitting.
The other big issue I have is that when you type in and edited comment, it will omit spaces between words at random. JFC, there's no reason to use anything but a vanilla HTML input element (because only markdown formatting is supported), but they somehow fucked up basic text input anyway!
My last little gripe is that nothing in the interface tells you that markdown is supported, which is extra dumb because the desktop interface tries so hard to hide the fact that markdown even exists.
(And yes, there are a host of other annoyances, but I'm trying to limit my criticisms to things that can only be explained by incompetence.)

It's on purpose to force you to use their shitty app.
Same strategy Facebook employs.
The amount of telemetry and personal data they can collect from an installed phone app is insane so they do everything they can to make you install it.
And the app is shitty on purpose to force you to...??

Is it not a general use case to be able to view videos?
On the mobile app, they dont work half the time(or at least they didnt, i havent used it since an hour before they announced the API pricing)
Go to old.reddit.com it still works the same (which is better than the new site or app on Desktop or mobile).
For now. I switched to Lemmy to get over the learning curve now instead of later when they inevitably remove old Reddit. Honestly? Good riddance
Or was it the other way around? Wait no, they want you to use some 3rd part... uh...
