If Reddit would stop making the site and app unusable we wouldn't need alternative clients. I can feel my phone heat up if I try to browse Reddit with any of the official options other than old Reddit
- robertlagrant 3y agoThe website is actually pretty de-HAVE YOU TRIED USING THE REDDIT APP? IT'S THE BEST EXPERIENCE-cent.
- fsociety 3y agoI still can’t believe this is a thing that has survived this long. I look forward to Reddit’s replacement if paid third-party API usage doesn’t pan out.
- lelandfe 3y agohttps://pdx.su/blog/2023-04-06-rip-reddit-compact/ https://pdx.su/blog/2023-04-06-rip-reddit-compact/ They just killed i.reddit.com, the old mobile site. I am fully expecting old.reddit.com to be killed off in the near future as well. It's unfortunate. The redesign is hamstrung on mobile. Sporadic comments are collapsed and can't be opened. Viewing whole threads is disabled. Normal text posts are occasionally presented as "NSFW" on the site, and demand you download the app (despite being fine on old.reddit.com). Occasional A/B tests even prevent any use of the site at all, mandating the app with a full page blocker. Genuinely some of the shadiest dark patterns I have ever seen. The worst behavior has been behind A/B tests for years at this point, presumably to make it harder to accuse them of this crap.
