I have exclusively been using i.reddit.com for at least 5 years now and it isnt pretty or anything but it loads fast and works. I use reddit to get to the content. The ui is just a tool to get me somewhere. I do not want a mobile app and the real mobile website takes forever to load and half the time im on reddit im just scrolling aimlessly anyway and the mobile website cannot handle it also its paginated and i want infinite scrolling. Speed of content on a link aggregator site will always be more important than appearance. I fear they will remove i.reddit.com in the future because it does not have ads. It also does not have their fake posts that are actually ads and mark promoted that

  That's nice, but they actually already broke that i.version of that site. Some posts (those with images hosted on reddit?) open the regular mobile version of the site, making it cumbersome to use. Does not feel like an officially sanctioned choice.

    They seem to have fixed it pretty recently (maybe last week?).

      That's great to know. I was indeed confused when writing that comment and not being able to reproduce when exactly. Nice :)

      They did fix it. Thats actually a huge fix. It was the only real bug. If youre listening, Just leave it like this now please.

        Well the other issue is reddit videos. When a link is v.reddit.com it redirects to the new mobile site. This is basically the same issue as the images, just with their videos.
