If you still want to use Reddit (yeah it sucks but there's a little bit of value still), look up how to patch your preferred 3rd party application with Revanced (https://revanced.app/). They also provide tech support in their Discord if you need help (yeah yeah fuck discord). I don't remember how to do it but it's been working almost perfectly since last summer, except for one hairy time around October when reddit broke something and the patchers had to issue a new patch.

I use the latest RIF Golden Platinum (v5.6 something?) which you can find on APK sites. It has no ads and I generally think it's got the best UI out of all the reddit mobile applications. My reddit experience with it gets to be very focused and text-heavy -- no shitty awards, no image macros, no bloated UI with tons of empty space, no clutter and bloat.

Notes: NEVER install something that claims it will just download a patched app for you -- it could be innocuous, but this is also a known way to spread malware. You need to install the unpatched app, then patch it with Revanced.

NEVER install a patched app that someone says they made to share -- it could be innocuous, but this is also how people spread malware.
