I use Firefox Mobile and have to turn on "Desktop site" to browse Reddit. Is there a way to view the mobile Reddit site?

  Interesting. I get the "fuck you, download our app" pop-up on Firefox Mobile but not Chrome mobile.

  Does it help if you add /.compact to the end of the URL? The reddit website constantly kicks you back into the desktop version these days but it mostly works

  i.reddit.com? Is that what you mean/are looking for?
loudandskittish 5y ago
Thank you! I followed the link on my phone and WTF is this bullshit? There's a popover that tells me to either download the app or "Return to /r/popular" ...despite not having come from there in the first place. No way to just close it and, you know, read the content. At least, no obvious way.

  I get all those plus I've noticed a Reddit page crashing and reloading the page on mobile Safari once I've scrolled down a few comments. Every page does this without fail for me. I use those and the "Return to /r/popular" messages to remind myself that it's almost never worth my time and to go read something else.

    The Reddit page loads without issues on Android with the Chromium-based Brave browser. It sounds like Reddit and iOS is a really bad combination.
- ajdude 5y ago
  It's gotten so bad on iOS I registered an easy-to-type .com TLD and spun up a libreddit instance on it. Now I just have to double-tap "reddit" in the url and bang out 6 random characters and hit "enter". I was so happy when the new iOS came out with extension support, now I just redirect the tld to that instance automatically.
  - GhettoComputers 5y ago
    Can you further explain? I jailbreak and use a redirect to the Apollo app, didn’t know the new iOS could do extensions. Amazing. old.reddit.com is much nicer too.
    - ajdude 5y ago
      Yep! If you check out the iOS 15 page and scroll about half way down, it talks about extensions: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-15/ https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-15/ I'm currently using HyperWeb[0], which does a great deal of automatic redirecting, ad-blocking, etc. (and other automation, if you get the pro option) though there's plenty of other extensions working their way into iOS support now[1].

reddit (a YC company btw) trying very hard to male the web version unusable for mobile devices.
- GhettoComputers 5y ago
  As much as I hate it, I disagree. There are more users than ever. old.reddit.com and i.reddit.com are fine. I have a problem with my older device on it, newer one is fine, it’s worst yes but it’s not unusable, we’re used to older technology (like too small fonts and zooming in) the new interface is more attractive to other people, we are the ones who will remember what a headphone jack was.
  - BusTrainBus 5y ago
    No it’s a grotesque technique which goes against the open web and should be condemned for the garbage that it is. If your website is resorting to do this then your website has failed.

    How is requiring an app to view submissions not making the web version unusable?
    - GhettoComputers 5y ago
      You don't need to, I didn't for a long time with an JS extension (iOS JB). I don't like the layout myself.
      - petepete 5y ago
        If requiring a JavaScript extension to make it worthwhile isn't a sign of it being unusable, I don't know what is! The website is literally unusable - they prevent you from viewing more than a few posts without installing the app.
  - asdff 5y ago
    They literally pulled a yelp with their mobile website and made it useless other than a redirect to the app store.

Maybe something’s up with my phone (iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15.0.1, Safari), but this is the second old.reddit.com link that I’ve clicked due to the main link being “broken” without the app, only for the old.reddit.com link to play a black video with sound. I don’t see other reports, which is why I’m assuming it’s just me. But maybe somebody knows what’s going on.

  Both old and new Reddit play the video in Safari on iOS for me. iPhone X with iOS 14.7.1
