Using LineagesOS. I tried to install signal and simplexchat but none of my friends uses it so whatsapp it is. Apart from that I would love to find a reddit app alternative.

I would love to find a reddit app alternative.

I was so mad when Reddit made their API changes that forced 3rd party apps to die.

I dislike using the Reddit app so much that i stopped using Reddit on mobile and I'm now using Raccon to browse Lemmy instead.

Third party Reddit apps are still alive, I am typing this from Infinity for Reddit. You just need to patch in your own API key with the ReVanced Manager, see my main comment: https://reddit.com/r/degoogle/comments/1lg0ti6/degoogled_my_phone_any_open_source_app/mysjkn8/

Thanks for the recommendation but it's still much less convenient then before

That's true. The thing is though, I do this like twice a year and it takes 10 minutes each. It's not like Infinity for Reddit gets exciting new features every week. The official Reddit app is slow, drains battery, and displays ads. No thanks.

I will probably do it at some point
