First off, yes, I’m getting rid of my account, but I decided to have a look around on the official app and

  1. It’s hot garbage
  2. I’m subscribed to a bunch of subs I’ve never even interacted with before in my life. What gives? Did they just sign me up for shit without asking? They sent me emails after promising they wouldn’t, they’ve lied about a lot of stuff, but every time I’m surprised they’re such dicks for some reason.

Has anyone else experienced this?

    Sounds about their speed. I haven’t been on Reddit for a couple weeks and I don’t miss it one bit, just a fading memory. My sign-in instance is running Lemmy 0.18.1-rc.5 and it’s really beautiful looking on desktop browser using the new compact theme. Then they fixed a whole bunch of stuff. The 0.18.1 official release is going to be brilliant, way better looking than Reddit.

    Reddit autosubscribes new accounts to “popular” subreddits to help fill the front page. Go make a brand new account, you’ll likely see the same thing.
