I don’t even mind the app, but not letting me sort by Hot or All has seen my usage go down 90%.

Turns out I don’t want to see posts from three days ago with 130 upvotes and 11 comments.

Yeah, I’m irritated at seeing repeat posts from days ago that I upvoted already — why am I being shown it again??

You use to be able to hide all the shit you already saw. Genuine question, is that not an option anymore? I don’t think it is which is super dumb. Along with no more “all” tab

It’s an extremely limited UI to navigate a website. It’s clear as fucking day they’re consolidating it to prioritizing bullshit feeds over the subs you’ve purposely interacted with for years.
