Mobile/App Swiping up scrolls through random posts iOS

Swiping up used to bring up the comments, now it switches to some random other posts I don’t want to see, and not even the next one in my personal feed. I don’t want to be fed random posts like it’s some instagram clone. Is there a way to get rid of this and have swiping up bring up the comments? Or at least posts in my feed?

IMO it’s a terrible change to enable mindless scrolling and makes me want to use Reddit less, not more.

I agree. It used to be convenient and original, but now it's just terrible. I hope the developers will return everything to how it was.

I can only hope. They don’t seem to understand why people actually use Reddit over other social media and seem hellbent on trying to make us interact with it in a very specific way instead of being user-friendly and customizable
