Side note--is there any way to access reddit now for people who refuse to log in or get the app? Old reddit asks tells me I have to use new reddit for "security" and new reddit says "Get the app to keep using Reddit".

I just used UBlock Origin to block the "Get the app..." message.

There is Redlib[0], an open source alternative Reddit frontend, with many public instances[1], e.g. https://redlib.catsarch.com/ https://redlib.catsarch.com/ There is also LibRedirect[2] (or PrivacyRedirect, although I for one have no experience with that), a browser extension that automatically redirects reddit.com URLs to your Redlib instance of choice (it also does the same for other platforms, configurable).

On mobile ? Not really. Their website is mobile cancer, and their app is barely better. I'm impressed at how bad it is, and it's not even about "pushing more ads" but "controlling what people see". That's also why they've removed r/all.

  I’ve actually noticed at least on iOS, the native app is really nice since the last update. It uses native system navigation and controls.

  Its r/popular now

    r/popular already existed before, and this is different, it's the same idea as facebook, instagram, twitter ... It's a curated feed not in an order or same weight feed. In other words, it's used or can and will be used to push whatever.

      Oh, I thought I was the new one :(

Maybe try the "use desktop site" option in your phone's browser? Old reddit works on my phone either way.

firefox+ublock+the extension that forwards to old.reddit i guess if you are using apple, you have chosen that the apple security is correct in requiring you to install the app?

  Are you logged in? I think they generally don't let people use old.reddit not logged in. I use all three of those. > apple security... requiring you to install the app It's the reddit website that freezes me out, nothing to do with the OS.

Someone already linked RedLib below, I'm just gonna add that you can add "safe" before "reddit.com" (i.e. safereddit.com/r/whatever) and it's going to redirect you to a redlib instance.

I've been using eddrit.com, I think it best matches the minimalist old ui (no full size images without clicking drop-down, pagination, etc).
