    Havent tried for a while, but you used to be able to change the url to

    https://old.reddit.com/r/…

    to bypass these shitty “use our app instead”. You don’t get mobile view but you can at least see it

      the “new” design is pretty much unusable on desktop too, imo. IF I absolutely must visit reddit, old.reddit it is.

      There’s also firefox extension that does just that, in case you forget.

      On mobile you can use RedReader. When reddit revoked access to its API, it made an exception for RedReader, because that app supports certain accessibility features which are “not yet” (i.e. never will be) supported by the official reddit app. So if you still want to access reddit on mobile, use RedReader, it has no ads and is much less irritating than the official reddit app.

        I think they made an exception because it’s so awful that no one would ever want to use it…

          😂 I could understand why some people feel that way.

          I like it because it does not have any ads, and because it’s very easy to switch between accounts. You can even post from one account while logged in to another.

          But that is the only reddit mobile app that I ever used. I never even downloaded the official one, nor did I try any of the other third party ones that got blocked. I could believe that some of them were much better than RedReader.
