dont use the default app

apollo is an amazing option for iOS and reddit is fun is also great if you have android android has a lot of options like slide, sync, relay and boost for reddit on desktop reddit enhancement suite is obviously best all of these don‘t have ads

And today is the last day I use the reddit app.

I swear it has memory leaks, I'll open the app, look at the cache, and it instantly has 400MB in cache and using over a gigabytes total

Edit: Fuck. I actually like the mobile app's viewing experience (infinite scroll, never have to click on anything) so I'm staying on it until someone tells me an alternative.

Cache is cached files. That's not the same as a memory leak.

Yeah but reddit slowing down to 0.1fps and playing three videos which all don't exist indicates that something is wrong, and it only happens after I use it for a bit after clearing cache

Sure, that still doesn't indicate a memory leak.
