don’t link old reddit please, anyone who wants to use old reddit already has it set as the default, and for apollo users old reddit links don’t automatically open in apollo like normal reddit.com links

If I remember correctly, HN automatically converts Reddit links to old.reddit.com (less user hostile).

  Sounds like it should convert it to i.reddit.com then since it's even less user hostile, at least in my view

  Can confirm, when I made this thread it didn't have the old. name in the URL.

Not sure what Apollo is, but it sounds like whatever it is it should be fixed instead of you asking people to give some alternate links to a worse version of the website.

  Apollo is a 3rd party Reddit client for iOS. It probably should be fixed in Apollo. I know Sync on Android has no issue handling any of the Reddit sub domains.

    And RedReader on Android also supports old.reddit links.

So people should go out of their way to change their links to a system they don't like to appease people of some software nobody's heard of and presumably could trivially be adapted to recognise "old.reddit"?

Wrong, I don't use reddit at all and I prefer old reddit. It's not default for me since I don't have an account.
- tuwtuwtuwtuw 5y ago
  Same here, but I would prefer if it linked i.reddit.com instead. Like this: https://i.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/rt91z6/exchange_2019_antimalware_bad_update/ https://i.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/rt91z6/exchange_201...

As a counter data point - please do link old reddit. The dark UI patterns on normal reddit are astonishingly hostile for an anonymous user.

The Apollo safari extension doesn't support it, but you can simply go to the share sheet and select Open in Apollo
