The closing off subreddits is particularly annoying.

The Reddit mobile has a longstanding bug in how handle it handles GIFs. I have a bot (u/CalvinBot) that posts the official Calvin & Hobbes strip to /r/calvinandhobbes each day. GoComics, the copyright holder, only publishes it as a GIF, so that's how it's submitted to Reddit.

However, because of the bug in the app, people can view the GIF properly. The advice used to be just switch to your browser, but because of Reddit now breaking that, even that workaround doesn't work now.
