I agree. Also the mobile web version is lacking a lot of things with regards to making use of the Reddit API.

For example if on mobile you go to a subreddit to make a post it will present you with the self post and the link post option regardless of the settings of the subreddit. So you write a long post and post it, only to get told sorry this subreddit doesn't allow self posts, or you post a link and you spend a lot of time typing in the title only to get told sorry no links allowed. WTF?? It's beyond ridiculous that they show the option of making a post in a subreddit where it does not apply.

It doesn't stop there. The whole thing is very disappointing :(

Another couple of grievances:

- On desktop you get useful error messages like for example "you're doing that too much, try again in x minutes". On the mobile web version it's just a generic message that is of absolutely zero help.

- You get to see the score of your posts (good) on your profile but to see the score of your comments you have to click on an individual comment. Bad!
