AMP is okay for news, but terrible for other forms of content. The reddit implementation is way less usable on mobile than going to their actual site.
It also results in lower quality news appearing at the top of searches in cases where they have implemented AMP and the better sources haven't.
- freehunter 10y agoMan trying to go back a page on Reddit then clicking a link on that page and seeing "there was an error, please reload the page" gets me out of there so damn fast.
- kristianp 10y agoCan you give an example of how to view reddit via AMP? If I just search for "reddit" on my Android phone for example, there are no AMP links to reddit, only Business Insider etc.
- magicalist 10y agoOn my phone (chrome on android), basically any google search result from reddit goes to the amp version of the page. (with all five visible comments, and since the full comments are almost certainly what I was searching for, I end up having to click through to the full page anyway every time)

- fortytw2 10y agoFor me, on iOS, I've _never_ had a Reddit AMP page actually finish loading / rendering. Broken since the start
- ryao 10y agoThere is an incompatibility between the Reddit app and Reddit amp links. If the Reddit app is not installed, they load just fine. Reddit likely could fix that if they were told about it. I have no idea how to tell them though.
