On an Android device, Slide allows you to add subreddits without logging in. I follow several subreddits but have no account. I don't see any ads.

Go to the hamburger menu > settings > manage your subreddits.

Another mobile option is i.reddit.com.

Unfortunately, Slide is abandoned by the author. He replied to an issue on github saying basically that he has no time to maintain it and that and that the code is a mess and needs to he completely rewritten from scratch so he doesn't recommend anyone else bother. Slowly but surely the bugs are mounting. There's so e new-fangked thing that's leaving blue boxes everywhere and videos are breaking again. And I think he also mentioned that the Play Store won't let him push small bug fixes without making another large change that he has no time to work on so it's defacto dead in the water now and will never be updated.

I've been trying Infinity from time to time which others have mentioned as the new OSS client, but it seems less textual than Slide. Sline also has great navigation that is immediately missed elsewhere.

(At least the Android version, dunno about the iOS)

App stores are abominations.

RedReader is also a great choice on Android, I wish there was a native desktop version of it.

Did you know there is a rss feed for every subreddit?

https://www.reddit.com/wiki/rss

Yes, but if you want to read the comments associated with a post, the link takes you right back to the regular reddit site.

You can also read comments via rss, but I see that might just be to much effort.

I think so too. IIRC, you'd have to add a new feed for each thread.
