You cant use reddit website on mobile. It will force you to install the app to view most subreddits

[t-sauer → arianvanp]

This is false. I only browse reddit in the browser version on my phone. It annoys you all the time to install their app, but you can read and post perfectly fine.

[housemusicfan → t-sauer]

Your rebuttal is false and the parent is accurate. Reddit will throw up a full screen interstitial on most popular subreddits preventing even viewing and redirect you to download the app. This is on the mobile (not old.reddit desktop-only) site. Their UX is shite and full of dark patterns.

If you log in, the mobile site is perfectly usable. You might also have to set a preference as well (like the old.reddit preference). It has been so many years of using it this way I don't remember.

If you use a browser that supports uBlock (e.g. Firefox or Kiwi) you can easily block the app advertisement as well.

I use it all the time on my phone old.reddit.com

[seesaw → throwmeaway1212]

The only way I use is through old.reddit.com. I won’t be going there if that is shutdown.

Not forced, if you are logged in. You'll get notified to install it but you can click it away.

[HDThoreaun → Hikikomori]

It's possible, they just make it as annoying and difficult as possible.

[opello → arianvanp]

Works in Firefox on Android without logging in or using old. for me.

[ewankenobi → arianvanp]

You can on old.reddit.com. Their redesign was so unpopular with users they agreed to keep supporting the old design which doesn't nag you into downloading the app.

[NSMutableSet → ewankenobi]

old.reddit.com is primarily kept around because the majority of moderators use it.

[matheusmoreira → arianvanp]

You absolutely can. Old reddit still works.

And .compact is gone
