Or use old.reddit.com. It's annoying to have to delete 'www' and replace with 'old' every time. I don't stay signed in, otherwise there's an option to only use

- slig 7y agoThere are browser extensions that replace the `www` to `old` automatically.
- anoncake 7y agoAnd there's Redirector which lets you make your own rules.
- zzo38computer 7y agoAnd then there is also moz-rewrite, which allows the use of regular expressions and also to rewrite not only the URL but also HTTP headers (both of the request and of the response).
- anoncake 7y agoRedirector can use regex too.
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoI love it. Reddit pisses down people’s throats so much that others create software workarounds. Insane. Fuck that shitbag company.
- buboard 7y agoif you are logged in there is a preference setting. i havent seen new reddit in many months
- hysan 7y agoI have this set. On mobile, this won’t work.
- buboard 7y agoweird. works for me on iphone 8
- hysan 7y agoIt’s worked once but then it’d randomly stop. Dealt with trying to get it to keep working on and off for a long time before giving up. Maybe something has changed in the past few years, but out of curiosity, I went and did some searching to see if any others had this same problem. Turns out that the answer is yes. Unless I get a reply from a reddit dev who can guarantee that it works on my phone, I’m just gonna stick with “it doesn’t work.”
- throwaway13337 7y agoThat doesn't work on mobile with no extensions and googling something that turns up a reddit result. I use the old.reddit chrome extension but I imagine most computer users do not. Internet community communication should be free to see by the public regardless of the host. The commenter are providing content to other users but it is the host that owns it. Its just not right.
- duffpkg 7y agoUse i.reddit.com on mobile
- JeremyNT 7y agoI use the old desktop site for reddit on mobile. If you are using Google to search site:reddit.com, you can just select request desktop site first, then you avoid the amp nonsense too.
- Macha 7y agoFirefox or Brave on Android will allow extensions.
- distances 7y agoFor mobile there are good third party clients. I'm using "Reddit is fun", very no-nonsense app

- zzo38computer 7y agoThank you; I was unaware of that. Although I do not generally use Reddit (I think Usenet and Unusenet is better), sometimes when something is linked, I would find it. I have the moz-rewrite extension and can easily configure it to rewrite the URL like that (I do a similar thing for Twitter, which also is not something I generally use, to force the mobile version to be used).
- anoncake 7y agoi.reddit.com for the old mobile version.
- Chris_Chambers 7y agoWhat makes this even worse is how Chrome now hides “https“ in the URL box until after you click the box, so when you double click “www” to rapidly select and replace it, the first click shifts the “www” eight characters to the right and the double click highlights “https” instead and you are sent to a broken link like “old://www.reddit.com” and need to go back and try again.
- londons_explore 7y agoYou're going to love the fact that the next release of Chrome also hides the www then...
- hieloz 7y agoOr https://www.reddit.com/.compact https://www.reddit.com/.compact is ok.
