Finally tried the official Reddit app. It’s as bad as they say.

      I’ve tried revanced but I’m not tech savvy enough to figure it out. I can’t even find where to download from some of those repositories 😞

        It’s simple, really.

        • if you have Reddit app installed, uninstall it first
        • download revanced manager and install the apk. https://revanced.app/
        • find Reddit app’s apk in apkmirror.com and download it
        • open revanced manager and select Patcher -> “select an application” -> storage and select the downloaded Reddit apk.
        • make sure “disable ads” is in the list of selected patches
        • run the patcher, wait until it completed
        • don’t install the resulting apk right away yet. Instead, open the “…” menu on the top right of the screen and backup the patched apk
        • close the revanced manager app and open your file manager. Locate the patched apk you just backed up in the download folder, then install it.

        Note that I haven’t actually tested this with actual Reddit app.
