Tell HN: Use i.reddit.com on mobile to avoid annoying modal app nags
Have seen more and more modals on reddit's mobile site: "Continue in App", "VIEW IN APP", "This page looks better in the app | Open", etc. https://i.reddit.com avoids all of that and works better than https://old.reddit.com on mobile devices.
- decrypt 5y agoIf you consume reddit on a read-only basis, projects like libreddit and teddit are great alternatives to consider. I have completely switched to libreddit two months ago and I am happy with the decision: https://github.com/spikecodes/libreddit https://github.com/spikecodes/libreddit It has a multi-reddit subscription functionality too, so it's easy to take a quick glance just at the content I need.
- NylaTheWolf 5y ago...How did I not think of this? Thank you for the recommendation!
- pndy 5y agoTry Privacy Redirect extension, it supports libreddit and teddit "proxies" - https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect
- Rzor 5y agoYou can also achieve the same mode by appending .compact to the URL. Ex.: https://reddit.com/r/asoiaf/.compact https://reddit.com/r/asoiaf/.compact
- shaunpud 5y agoI always use https://teddit.net https://teddit.net on desktop/mobile browser There's also another decent mobile app "rif is fun for Reddit"
- NylaTheWolf 5y agoHonestly the worst part about those popups on the mobile site is the fact that they don't even open the post in the damn app. They take you straight to the frickin' app store! It's such awful design and utterly infuriating.
- brokenmachine 5y agoAgree 100%. It's terrible. I would never use reddit if that was the only way to view it.
