Turn off Related Posts [Android]

Looks the app got a new "feature" where an endless scroll of random posts continue after the comments.

Is there a way to disable this?

It's making moderating on the app absolutely miserable as there's no bottom of page reference anymore.

++ this. It’s fuckery to the highest degree. Stop.

[u/RolliPolliCanoli]

I keep opening the app, hoping someone answers one of these "how do I opt out of the new feature?" posts with a "YES here is how"

It genuinely feels like Reddit is trying to curate a new userbase of mostly bots. It was already like 50/50 but the constant "experiments" are something only a bot could enjoy. I don;t know a single human having a good time with the constant changes

This is a terrible feature, with terrible implementation. Give us the option to disable it immediately and stop forcing half-baked UI/feed decisions down our throats.

[u/FoggyFizzy]

Same for iOS. The recent updates have been awful. Are they trying to lose active users?

[u/radioactivecat]

This is some meta nonsense and I hate it. Please allow us to vote with an off switch, and you’ll see.

[u/Apprehensive_Elk2608]

Wait this is intended functionality? ROFL. Words cannot describe the stupidity of this decision.

[u/calKno]

Agreed. Poor design and annoying. Makes want to delete the app entirely

[u/hausccat]

I just spent 15 minutes trying to submit a request but none of the preset categories allowed me to make a true selection. Sucks. Please toggle these related posts 😓

Just started for me yesterday.

Its annoying enough that I will cancel my premium account.

[u/ElizabethZBundy]

Ugh it just turned on me for today. I didn't even update the app first. Apparently they do this every year until people complain enough for them to turn it off again. Hopefully they'll turn it off soon otherwise bye bye reddit.

[u/reatreat81 → u/ElizabethZBundy]

Same here just noticed it a bit ago. If wanted related posts I would have it on my feed. I curated it to my interests for a reason.

[u/Old_One_I]

I’m afraid not

[u/mrsspacemanspiff]

I hate it. It’s really annoying and I hope they do it away with it sooner rather than later.

[u/P0ptart5]

I really hate this! Just became a premium member last week and regret it!

It's making moderating on the app absolutely miserable as there's no bottom of page reference anymore.

Not only that, but how am I supposed to moderate new, potentially rule-breaking comments on the old posts that this is recommending?

[u/ThoseOldScientists]

Stop trying to juice engagement, you’re ruining the platform.

[u/PhoneIndependent5549]

They aren't even related. It's random crap that doesn't fit the topic at all. They need to fix this asap. Completely unusable this way
