Honestly, as an American I agree. If we need to have a rule stating articles must ONLY be about US politics then the community should be called US Politics. It just makes sense. What we have now is like peeling the labels off of the cans in a pantry. You have to open the can to find out if it’s corn or tomato soup. I’d rather just know what’s in the can at a glance instead.

Hopefully soon. My understanding is it needs to go through the Google Play review process first, and unreviewed apps can have a limited number of testers.

I’d say best practice at the moment would be to make a note/screenshots of your old app settings just in case so you can manually set things up later. You can swipe down on the “Sync for Reddit shutting down” message in the old app to hide it and still get into your old settings. That said, the current test version can restore from an old backup, but it breaks some stuff like preventing comments from loading. From what I saw while recreating my settings everything seemed to be there 1 to 1 so it shouldn’t be too bad.
