Reddit is an online platform that provides an interactive and engaging space for individuals to share their ideas, thoughts, and interests. As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or experiences, but I can provide a comprehensive review based on the observations of the platform's features and user feedback.
One of the best things about Reddit is the sheer volume of communities or subreddits available. With over 130,000 active communities, there is something for everyone. Whether you're interested in the latest news, pop culture, sports, technology, or just want to engage with like-minded individuals, Reddit has a community for it. Furthermore, the user-driven content means that the most popular or informative posts rise to the top, providing a unique and dynamic experience for users.
Reddit is also a great source for news and information, with an active user base that frequently shares links and articles from a variety of sources. Reddit can provide unique perspectives and opinions that you may not find on traditional news sources, making it an excellent resource for staying informed on current events and social issues.
Additionally, Reddit has a reputation for being a welcoming and supportive community. Users are generally helpful, respectful, and eager to engage in discussions. Moderators play an essential role in maintaining a positive atmosphere, and users have the ability to report inappropriate content or behavior to the moderators. The platform also offers features like "karma" and awards, which can encourage positive behavior and incentivize users to contribute high-quality content.
In summary, Reddit is an incredibly diverse and engaging platform that offers a wide range of communities and content. Whether you're looking for news, entertainment, or a community to engage with, Reddit has something for everyone. With its supportive user base, unique perspectives, and constantly evolving content, it's no wonder that Reddit remains one of the most popular online communities today.
As others have reviewed, it has a serious moderation issue. It’s gotten much worse because Reddit now smashed admins (Reddit employees) onto larger communities. While this may bring some good tech support, they also appear to have gone trolling for the most dishonest, toxic people they can find. They are either too lazy to give you anything other than a canned response or vile, abusive, clowns who gaslight their victims. It’s been made worse by allowing users to directly report anything to admins. Now packs of idiots run around reporting anything they disagree with or issuing false reports on people who happen to catch their abusive eyes. The communities I frequented were well moderatored. It was the admins who were absolutely out of control. It is not a joke to say that they lie, abuse, and, in my case, actually tried to change the log to hide what they were doing. Customer Service is non-existent. Anything short of public scorn gets ignored. If you pursue Newsweek, you’ll occasionally get a puff piece about something off of Reddit. That’s the most you need to invest in this app. Horrible user experience created by abusive employees. You can be absolutely fine on the forum, but it’s Reddit employees themselves that ruin it for everyone. Wall Street is refusing to issue an IPO, you be wise to invest the same amount: nothing.
None of my posts are being seen. And if I try to message the mods, it says “sorry, try again later.” It says “Sorry, try again later a lot, when I try to do most anything.
I have no Wi-Fi, so I can only use my iOS (data)…
I checked to be sure the app was up to date, and it is.
This is very frustrating. My karma is low. Like 1 or something. But I don’t know how I’m supposed to get it up, when I can’t do much of anything. I can’t message the mods to see if they could put my posts up. Half the time, I can’t comment on a post. Sometimes I can’t even like a post.
Is there anything I can do in the settings? Is there a way to fix this? None of my posts are being seen by any group, so I don’t know how I’m supposed to get my karma up. And it is very annoying to not be able to even message anybody.
I have contacted Reddit, and got an automated reply saying to uninstall and reinstall, and to reply if the issue wasn’t resolved. Well it isn’t. I replied immediately after reinstalling with the same issues. It’s been over a week, and still no reply or any kind of help.
This is horrible.
I understand marketing. But you should be able to choose what ads you see. He Gets Us ads have long runneth over the cup. You cannot block, report, or do anything to get rid of them. You used to be able to, then more Hobby Lobby money came pouring in. The commercialization of religion… I seem to remember Jesus throwing tables and chairs across the room for that one. But He Gets Us is a scam. The same people pouring money into these ads about Jesus caring and understanding, fund politicians who pass legislation which punish the poor and LGBTQ+ communities and turn a blind eye to police brutality. It’s not Jesus I have issues with, I actually believe in his message of love and understanding. There’s nothing to argue against. My problem is Reddit cares more about money from bigots than allowing users to choose their own content.
Well, after 3 years my account was banned due to a threat towards a drunken tradesmen trying to rape a woman. The app worked for me for awhile, but who ever runs the app does not care about what is normal. After being banned for my threat towards the rapist, every single profile I made after eventually was banned, even though I didn’t use them. Thank you for a couple of years of curing my boredom. But whoever is running the app is very precious about their rapists I suppose. Since I cannot create a new profile REGARDLESS of the email used, this app is therefore less useful than YouTube. Both of these apps will very soon be obsolete. Thank you, Reddit, for not caring about the common man and instead blocking the most basic opinion. Don’t waste your time if you value your opinion
After 3 long years on this app, one comment about a drunk tradesman getting aggressive towards a female homeowner has given me a permanent ban. This doesn’t just effect my email, no matter what email is used the app bans the account. This is a pathetic ending, however it is also a relief of sorts as Reddit is full of terrible people, including moderators who use their personal beliefs as a guide on who they ban instead of actual understandable reasons. Unfortunately there are countless people using the app and this lone review will mean absolutely nothing to these people, but hopefully others can find a way to pull themselves away from this toxic app.
I was permanently banned within 10 minutes of downloading the app for the first time because I didn’t know all the rules for posting yet. In trying to post my first question I was blocked multiple times for things like punctuation, tense, and pronoun usage. Then I got a notice saying I was permanently blocked for not knowing the rules, when I contacted support for help I was met with rude unnecessary remarks. Why call me ignorant for not being a master at your dumb app. How is that ok in any way. This is a hateful company, I don’t recommend using this app unless you want your day ruined by hateful people.
Basic functionality is in and out as updates come, sometimes I can’t even scroll down for a few days because of the new update until they update again. Generally clunky i.e. can’t flip through albums sometimes but more than easily flips between home feed, poplar, and new even when scrolling vertically; general issues upvoting and accessing comments. Also video and audio playback work at the flip of a coin. Sometimes everything works but usually there are several problems and a couple times a month it’s like doing your taxes to get basic features or it doesn’t work at all.
Reddit depending on what you use it for entertainment advice etc there are a lot of reasons but it’s default layout makes it a great and easy place to navigate and hella options so all around for the base app itself the app works as should according to the plan they have it’s the uncontrollable factors that make it not so fun depending the experience that you put onto urself so what I’m saying is the app itself is amazing for what it is but the people in it are people so be open and ready to be disappointed
I love this app everything perfect except one tiny annoying error. When I go to Reddit via internet example: I find ask a question on google and attach reddit at the end like “is it safe to eat this on Reddit”
It goes to the Reddit app via browser then a pop mom window shows options to stay on browser or go to your Reddit app and the problem is when I press the app option it takes me to apple play store and says open and it takes me to the app but not the post and it really irritates me a bit lol
