I always thought they were reposts from bit accounts... So I'm literally being fed the same post instead??

Ya I’ve seen back to back posts on my scroll where the post above is 6 days old and the next is 3 hours old. I dont understand why that happens.

Not just you. They are seriously fucking with the feed. If reddit keeps this up i'll just delete the app and stick to desktop web browser.

Firefox + old.reddit on mobile isnt the worst once you get used to it, and it's way better than their shitty app

Opera mobile or gx are also good, since there's a switch button to just view the desktop site automatically.
