I have been using redditp often since its creation and found it to be an ideal way to surf around a few image-focused corners of the internet. Not counting niche communities, I'm sure Tildes would agree: the comments below your average Reddit image or text post left something to be desired. Transforming reddit into a gallery prevented the colorful commentary or snark or thoughtless quips from diluting an otherwise quality contribution to an internet community.
I wholeheartedly agree with the dev's sentiment below

I quit reddit cold turkey when the redditisfun app quit working, but in the past I did use redditp quite a bit. Early on when practically everything was a static image hosted in imgur it worked really well, but later on when we had lots of gif and webp and mp4 files hosted on a variety of sites it would struggle to display everything properly, at least in my experience.

I think I enjoyed for much the same reasons as a lot of other redditors lol. It's sad to see this go because it really is a great idea. I just used it for basic scrolling, so I didn't have much...
I think I enjoyed for much the same reasons as a lot of other redditors lol. It's sad to see this go because it really is a great idea. I just used it for basic scrolling, so I didn't have much complaints.
I figured this would happen eventually because of the API change, but still sucks to see it go
