The mobile site is essentially unusable now. Anything NSFW? gotta have the app. Video? Gotta have the app. Want to view comments more than 3 levels deep? Gonna need the app for that. I like Sync, but I preferred just loading up reddit.com. This has reduced my usage a reasonable amount.

At least we can use old.reddit.com, although I'm not sure how long that'll last.

  That's totally unusable on a small screen though.

    i.reddit.com used to work but it's mostly gone now too.

      How is it mostly gone? It looks like its working when I try it. The only thing that doesn't seem to work are videos hosted on reddit (v.redd.it)

    Disagree. I only use old on mobile and vastly prefer the information density. I'm perfectly happy to zoom in. ZUI beats low density mobile design by a mile.

    teddit.net is slightly better

This might sound like a troll, but what’s wrong with using the app? Do you not use any apps?

  The real question is: what was wrong with the website in the first place?
- pokstad 6y ago
  I don’t use social media apps if I can avoid it. You don’t really know what information is being collected about you. Even the website collects an obscene amount of information. Combined with the fact that Reddit is full of incendiary content, it’s better to avoid being fingerprinted.

  The reason they broke the website to push the app is to get more user data to sell to advertisers and to make ad blockers harder to use.
  - throwaway1777 6y ago
    What data? Now that people can block the advertising tokens on mobile as of the recent android and iOS releases I’m not sure what the difference is browsing on web vs the app?

      Advertising identifiers are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to data collection. Disabling them (which you could already do in Settings) would barely make a difference.

        Must be news to Facebook who is running a campaign against apple for disabling them!
