But yeah, the official R*ddit app is Garbo, they even bought Alien Blue years ago and have just failed to keep pace with Apollo, RIF or BaconReader. This API move is just a monopolisation of their content stream, hugely anti-competition.
Even if they sorted out their app, rolled back API to free, I’d never go back. Fuck Spez.

“hide all child comments” was a much beloved feature on BaconReader, at least for me.
I also preferred the card view of content, and that all read content would get hidden.
But this is something new, so I’m trying not to compare them directly - I don’t really want Lemmy to just be new Reddit, but something new.
