The web reddit is just awful. Leave a thread open for some time, and navigation even breaks.

I just use old.reddit.com on my mobile and laptop.

  Try i.reddit.com on mobile, it's easier on small screens. Click the cog on the right for options like collapsing comments.

  It is better to use i.reddit.com on your mobile

  Try teddit.net. It's not perfect, but mostly works fine. There are extensions that will replace reddit.com by teddit.net in the URL to make it even easier.

The Reddit AMP implementation on top of Reddit Web is even worse. For the first few times I encountered it, I assumed there was a bug or something that would be fixed soon.

The best part is clicking a link, loading a page, and it just says “Something broke” Twitter does this too. How the fuck is it even possible?

  Glad it's not just me. Twitter seems to break more often when a page is loaded from the browser cache, but I can't pin down any other pattern for the “Something broke” errors on both mobile and desktop. Will Twitter ever have more than two 9s of reliability as measured from the user's POV?

    Oh, I just posted a question about this elsewhere in the thread. I've come to assume this is intentional and probably doesn't happen if you're logged in or using the app (though I don't know). It's been like this for years. Like every time I follow a link to Twitter I seem to get a random roll whether it works, and same random roll on each refresh. After n refreshes, where n may be 0-10, it works. Browsing the site doesn't do this.

    I literally can't open Twitter links on my phone (Firefox as browser). It always says "something went wrong" and reloading a bunch of times doesn't help either. If I use the same link on Desktop (or change my phone browser's user agent) it works. I think its a fuck you pattern to get me to install the app.
