Request the desktop site. Just tried it in Firefox on Android and it no longer says to open in app.

Or use old.reddit.com too.

Reddit doesn’t respect that on iPhones through any browser.

So anti consumer it hurts.

I’d recommend setting one’s own browser to automatically redirect to old.reddit.com for the occasion they might need to find that rare technical solution/see sum tiddies.

That’s a false dichotomy. Tiddies ARE a technical solution for feeding babies and attracting mates.

…or so I hear?

Interesting calculus here. Before the r/pocalyspe I’d have said old-reddit was on a 3 month clock to being summarily retired

They also likely lost way more users than they anticipated through the blackouts, and might just let old-reddit be to protect their numbers until the IPO. As long as its not on default Main page, I doubt the advertisers will care. They’ll kill it when they can do so quickly and quietly
