Completely stopped using Reddit since they blocked third party apps in July 2023. I never accessed Reddit through other channels than smartphone.

Yup. Both the desktop website and the official app are garbage UX. With no third party app option, I could not use Reddit even if I wanted to.

RedReader on mobile still works. You can find it in the fdroid app store. There's also rtv for a terminal reddit client on the desktop.
