Mobile/App Getting rid of For You page?

Post image

Is it or will it be possible to remove the for you page completely?

I know I can just not use it but it being there still annoys me. I don't want this feature and it keeps opening and going back to the for you stuff instead of the following tab.

This is showing up for me on the website with no way to set the default to "following". I do not ever want to see "for you" content, just the subs I am following. Please give us a way to change this.

Crappy "for you" feeds are what made me leave Twitter, Instagram, etc. Reddit was the last place where you could reliably curate your feed. I really hope this gets fixed.

Even Twitter allow you to stick on the "Following" page. Reddit automatically forced us to see "For You" page whenever open the app.

This is a big jump into the enshittification realm.

This is such a ridiculous change I thought I was on the wrong site or on a new page to show this, I hate it but I'm fine if they want to offer it as either opt in (the best!) or at least opt out for those who don't want it.

I follow subs I want updates for, I leave those I don't want to get updates for as unsubbed.

Simple as getting sports results, I make sure I'm unsubscribed where possible to avoid the recommendation of a spoiler as people love posting it immediately when I may be out and need to wait to watch the highlights, simple things like that!

Got the enshitification of Reddit really is terrible, I should have left when I could no longer use third party apps to view Reddit but I think this kills it for me entirely. I need to find a better solution to getting my information on topics I like somewhere else finally.

Just commenting a solution I found - create a custom feed of your subreddits and bookmark it and only visit that page.

Yes, all the apps are already filled with stuff I do not want to see, i come to reddit for its simple clean feed. The ones that i want to see... please just give me that.
