Your first sentence I agree with. Your second sentence I don't agree with. It's still early with the reddit exodus - things have been escalating incredibly fast and most people don't even know much about it yet, or are still processing what's happening.
Reddit was a big part of our lives for many people and it's not easy to let go. I was so deeply offended by what happened that I let go quickly even though it hurt me. But people who already used the official app? For them, it's a difficult conversation at best. But I'd say it is still early days.
On my phone only worked via Chrome browser (not via sync or samsung internet), give it a try
