If you only want to look an not interact, I'm using Stealth. No account needed and you can still follow your preferred subreddits. You can't post or comment, of course. Also no upvoting, but you can mark posts for your own later use. Also, you can have multiple sets of subreddits.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
It seems android only and looks like a cloud storage platform app. It looks complicated :( Browser bookmarks for now :( It’s clunky but is manageable if a curate it to a very small number of groups.
I just realised you probably can use RSS. I think it works, one channel per subreddit.
the userbase has become degenerate and the site is now unusable due to lack of moderation
the better way is to stay far, far away
So the official app is worse than ever. Moderation is worse. More censorship too? I guess I’d just memorize the few pages, and stay on a mobile browser.
The official app is dogshit. Riddled with bugs and oversaturated with ads. You can turn off certain ad settings but they weasel around them to keep them on (such as home feed recommendations and targeted advertising).
If you really really want to browse reddit though, I'd recommend using one of the remaining third party apps such as Infinity. Building an API key is a little involved but pretty easy; I was able to do it and I barely know what an API even is. And you won't see ads or any of their distracting animated awards or such nonsense.
Also, with the way reddit is now, be prepared for a LOT of censorship. It's gotten really bad over there.
I will try to research this. I just wanted something simple. That’s why I thought of asking here. Thanks for the suggestion.
Your account will be severely restricted for several weeks, that is if you aren't instantly shadowbanned, and when you are able to post a good percentage of the accounts you'll be talking to will be bots.
Bots! :( Not planning to post anything. I’ll just use browser bookmarks as another lemmy user suggested.
The official app is still shit, the mods are mostly absolute zealots, and the Admin uses so many AI tracking tools that if you get banned from a sub for some minor issue, you can soon find yourself get banned from the site forever. Which is why i'm here :-)
I was on it for about 13 years, got banned from AskUK for using ChatGPT as a spell checker, then got permanently banned from reddit for using a throwaway account, which was flagged as ban evasion.
That’s horrible! In the past, I got severely downvoted for asking about headsets on a group about lossless audio or something. Getting banned for what you described is unreasonable.
I was a bit annoyed for a while. I made it worse for myself by trying to actually evade my ban using a VPN etc, but I hadn't appreciated how sophisticated they are these days and once you're banned you're banned for life.
It's odd to me, as when I first started using it throwaway accounts were common and it was a fun place to an anonymously comment on stuff. I might try and rejoin when I next upgrade my phone, but I understand they track your Google account and various other identifiers so maybe it's to call it a day.
old.reddit and browser bookmarks? There's nothing I check frequently, but when digging on something and reddit comes up as a source, this is what I do.
Yes, browser book marks for now :( I haven’t recreated an account yet.
The app is shit. If you really want to you can run modified versions of the old clients.
The official app is still shit.
I still use Reddit for some niche subs. I would advise on using something like continuum to browse anonymously.
Otherwise, create an account and use it to save some posts to view later. Creating an account requires an API key now so search online on how to do that.
are you on android? use redreader, it's very good. i'd say it's actually better than most lemmy apps..
I have both an android and an iphone. i am using Voyager for lemmy.
Try it? Google it? Who cares?
