full link, that on mobile will only show some comments if you aren't using their app, if you try to view them all, will force you to sign in or use their app. For me, when telling it to use the app, takes me to the home screen instead of the thread I was trying to see. old.reddit.com works so much better than the new reddit when linking out

For mobile use, nothing really beats i.reddit.com. Clean simple interface, only a couple minor annoyances such as search not supporting all the options.

That's the link. It works for users of the site mobile or not, app or browser is a choice. If you want to use old you can change the url or actually sign in and set it as preferences instead of being a lurking non-participant. People can choose what way they view it but that's the real link. If you're really concerned about comments or mobile interface or whatever maybe you should sign in and be a user of the site otherwise you're opinion doesn't really matter now does it. Point is don't force ppl to the old.reddit link.

That's dumb, yes it does. 2. This is a different site from reddit. Even if we accept your participation premise, the link is on HN, so it's HN opinions that matter. Reddit accounts are totally irrelevant; only HN accounts matter here. > don't force ppl to the old.reddit link. What happened to "you can change the url"? (Not that I agree with that idea in general, but I think it's much more valid for a dislike of aesthetics and much less valid for making a site function properly.)
