My favourite is that giving in and clicking the “open in app” banners on Reddit etc just take me to the App Store page for Reddit, even though I have the actual app installed already.

Pardon my ignorance but I sort of assumed that was reddit's fault because I can't name a single other site/service I use that does that. I guess that's not the case?
I have the same problem with Youtube links. Doesn't seem like a reddit only issue.
I have no issue with links opening directly into the YouTube app.
i think it might do that when the app has an update pending?
Apollo just auto-redirects to the app for me. Maybe it’s an issue with the official Reddit app or a config value somewhere?
You have to long-press on the link and press 'Open in "Reddit"'. Not sure why.
If you long press `open in app`, then it shows `open reddit` and that solves it
