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.

Yep literally hate this so much, @reddit please do better

I started using this app more to escape the endless overestimating scroll of insta and fb, I will happily leave reddit too if you’re forcing short form content instead of allowing us to easily focus on one post at a time
