Use nitter, libreddit, invidious, bibliogram (is that one dead?) and others.
It's a shame that these big companies seem to suck at making usable websites. They probably chase "conversion" to new accounts at all costs. And that probably works (A/B tested).

- franga2000 5y ago> It's a shame that these big companies seem to suck at making usable websites. The Reddit and Twitter web apps are actually great on mobile, but they lock you out after a few minutes. I used to use both all the time until three or so years ago when the constant app pushing made both unusable.
- MayeulC 5y agoThe websites are extremely slow to load on my phone (galaxy s4 with lineageos 17.1). Using midori in a private tab: - Time to load a twitter link: 14s (20s to display a preview of the picture). - Same link on a nitter instance: 5s, page fully loaded, with replies. Also, less than half the page is dedicated to content, I have: - a search bar - log in/sign up - Cookies notice - "Twitter is better on the app" "Not Now/Switch to the app" (that one takes a lot of space). All of the above keeps floating above the content, so I can only scroll through a tiny window. The content is lazy-loaded, which makes scrolling annoying. A lot of space is wasted with buttons that are only useful if you're logged in. The experience is terrible on mobile, and it's mostly the same for reddit.
