Apollo (modded) to have Pro features?
Though it’s open source you can compile the iPA yourself https://github.com/awkward/beam It’s super smooth and no restrictions, no ads.

Congrats reddit. The state of the app is making me go a non official one.
Beam: https://github.com/awkward/beam Very elegant, open source client for iOS. Probably one of the most polished alternatives i've used, highly recommended. Requires build from source, as it has been discontinued.

Lemmy (a federated reddit alternative) Release v0.15.1: Private instances, New User Registrations, Email Verification, and Temporary Bans. 🎉

Are there any advantages to using the official Reddit app instead of something like RedReader?

- How do i auto bypass this, without also breaking other reddit windows/popups that reddit may show me, & interfaces. -Thanks.

- Is there a setting to have albums open on the first image?

✨ RedReader
{ "id": -1, "name": "RedReader", "description": "RedReader is a third-party Reddit app for Android, notable for being more accessible than many other apps. It was granted an exemption by Reddit to be allowed to operate for free, so the decision was made to replace the icon with Slide. (The icons for other exempted apps, such as Dystopia, were not changed for some reason.)", "links": { "website": [ "https://github.com/QuantumBadger/RedReader" ], "subreddit": [ "RedReader" ] }, "path": { "11-15": [ [ 37, 22 ], [ 39, 22 ], [ 42, 24 ], [ 42, 28 ], [ 39, 30 ], [ 37, 30 ], [ 34, 28 ], [ 34, 24 ] ] }, "center": { "11-15": [ 38, 26 ] } }

Own top comments when sorting by year don't display
I've submitted it on GitHub
-
New here :) is it somehow possible to see the trending section?
Feel free to submit a feature request for it but it's very unlikely available in the API
-
How to set to open albums with all images displayed at once?
Nope. The developer previously mentioned not wanting to do that because it could be confusing to the user. Feel free to submit a feature request for it if you feel strongly enough.
- How do you see self-text in RedReader?
-
Show first lines of post in subreddit posts list/view?
Nope. There is a 3 year old request for a card view which might be able to show more post information like the first line. Feel free to give that a thumbs up.
