    Reddit shows you communities that you are not subscribed to in your subscription feed.

    Yeah, like I said, not spam and not an ad. It’s just an internal algorithmic recommendation

      It was an ad though. I couldn’t do anything to get rid of it, it wasn’t simply a suggested community post in the app.

        An ad is something that a 3d party buys to appear on a platform. This is a recommendation by the platform itself, so I would not define it as an ad

          You still do not understand.

          When a community is suggested to you on Reddit, there is an option to see less of it, effectively blocking it from your feed. This had no option like that available, no fly out menu in the app.
