Are you asking a question, or is this the petition? (the question mark threw me off) I wouldn't mind it, but I'd be curious what happens when reddit follows the inevitable course and obsoletes that interface along with i.reddit.com

  Just starting a discussion. Interestingly there’s another Reddit link on HN that doesn’t exhibit this behavior: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/q4nltn/ads_are_now_able_to_bypass_google_play_to_install/ https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/q4nltn/ads_are_...

You can get this everywhere. Just track down the "Redirector" extension and put a rule in to redirect ^(https?://)?www.reddit.com(/.*)?$ to $1old.reddit.com$2 You can also use it to automatically redirect all mobile Wikipedia links to the non-mobile site.

  Can't do that on iOS at least. With the amount of reddit posts submitted here, we need a hard rule.

javascript:(function() { window.location.href = window.location.href.replace("www.reddit", "old.reddit"); })()

Use a browser extension.

    Yep ios 15 has them now. Or you can use apollo and make it open there.

      Oh I thought you meant you could install an old reddit redirecting extension into safari.

        I ported my extension for these redirects to the new iOS Safari extension model. You can choose to also use the old i.reddit.com interface as well it that’s your thing. https://secretkeys.io/oldr/ https://secretkeys.io/oldr/

By the way, you can declare your preference for "old" in Reddit's settings. It has worked pretty well for me on desktop (not sure if old even exists on mobile).

Personally, I can't stand that interface, but I also use a userscript to change "old" to "www" automatically, so I guess this wouldn't really bother me. I definitely recommend using the reverse userscript if you have the reverse opinion though.

Granted.
