#3> Our new Android app is going into beta today, and our new iOS app should follow it out soon.
It's amazing how long Reddit existed before rolling out a mobile app. Now I'll finally have something other than Facebook to check compulsively on my phone.

#4While I can understand the sentiment that spam and abuse threaten our communities I can't help but think - based on outside observations - that some of the biggest threat to the Reddit communities are people within Reddit communities. Though admirable and well-meaning, it's a flawed model at the core, at least this is what I've come to believe. In the most recent flare-ups, the "call is coming from inside the house!" seemed to really apply. Granted I'm not proposing some kind of methodology or overhaul to fix this conundrum, though it's certainly an interesting topic.

Just now? There's a bunch of excellent 3rd party Reddit apps on many mobile platforms. Even BB10 and WP have solid Reddit clients. I don't think you were trying very hard :P

What specifically leads you to conclude it's a "flawed model"? Is it the problem of private ownership of a semipublic community, through individual accounts "owning" a subreddit?

Their site works fine on mobile, either the desktop version or .compact (you can add .compact to the end of a reddit url to see it). I never really liked the normal mobile version though.

AlienBlue was the de facto reddit app for years on iOS, to the point that reddit actually bought it / accqi-hired the dev for it a year or so ago. Unfortunately it's been pretty stagnant since it was acquired, very few bug fixes and afaik no feature enhancements.

#9Reddit is a great platform to disguise sponsored content as organic. If you are really good the users won't even notice. I wonder whether they have started monetizing that yet. There is clearly a lot of it on Reddit. It's just not clear whether it is with the help of Reddit or despite of them.

Ya know, I'm on reddit daily, and I NEVER see any of these flare-ups. I just kind of hang out on the nerdy subs I guess.
