the impact on battery life relative to other apps out of the box is pretty atrocious. Reddit was always the app draining the most or near the most battery regardless of whether I was using it a lot cause it phones home constantly. That is already enough of a problem but then add in the fact that you had sponsored posts ( Adverts ) made to look like real posts that were 1 in every 5 it kind of grates on you.
Then there are the issues around the inbuilt video player that was barely functional at times on mobile for the longest time, it seems to be better now but it used to bug out and not play items properly and constant buffer issues regardless of internet connection speed.
Those were my biggest gripes and using Lemmy with Liftoff it’s very noticeable how much battery life I’m saving daily and no I don’t have an old phone an iPhone 14 pro
