I said this elsewhere, but the experience in the reddit app and 3p apps is like browsing an entirely different social media platform.
The "old reddit" experience was basically: Only see posts from the subs you subscribe to, unless you want to see what's on "the front page of the internet" where you can go to /r/all (or /r/popular). Or if you're feeling brave, /r/new.
If you subscribe to a lot of self-post heavy subs you'll probably get a very snappy experience, not too many gifs/videos/memes/images etc, and you might even just want to browse with them closed by default.
"new reddit" is nothing like that. Intrusive notifications, suggested posts, ads in your face, oh and loading times are garbage (I don't even know how it's possible: a 3p app can serve things without loading screens at all, wtf is Reddit doing?)
