- whstl 1mo agoSo they're pulling a Reddit, basically. "The app is great because the website is heavily degraded".
- Ntrails 1mo agoI just request the desktop site, it's fine
- deepsun 1mo agoReddit is fine, just a small popup at the bottom. Facebook kn the other hand turned off most functions on mobile, e.g. chat. Good thing though if you don't use the chat long enough, friends start using other means of communication.
- pudgywalsh 1mo agoReddit is NOT FINE. They throw up full page modals now telling you to continue in the app.
- embedding-shape 1mo agoSoon we'll realize that the experience of using reddit (and other mainstream social media) differs a lot based on what country you're in, and sometimes even the state. For example, seemingly a bunch of places in Europe/elsewhere has disabled old.reddit.com unless you're logged in, but seemingly a bunch of people in other places can use it just fine. I'm sure what both of you are seeing is both correct, there is just something changing the experience that gets served to each of you.
- doubled112 1mo agoLog in to use old Reddit To keep Reddit safe, accounts are required to access old Reddit. Log in, or continue without an account on reddit.com. First time I've ever seen it. No clear way to bypass it either.
- Lio 1mo agoI think it’s a push for either more tracking through login or to push people to more addictive features like endless scrolling and autoplaying videos.

- whstl 1mo agoHaha, yeah. Reddit for the longest time hasn't allowed me to browse certain subreddits without the app. I basically ignore search results from it. As the sibling poster mentioned, might depend on location, but it DOES happen.
