I don't use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn't find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.

Home to all things "Mildly Infuriating" Not infuriating, not enraging. Mildly Infuriating. All posts should reflect that.
I want my day mildly ruined, not completely ruined. Please remember to refrain from reposting old content. If you post a post from reddit it is good practice to include a link and credit the OP. I'm not about stealing content!
It's just good to get something in this website for casual viewing whilst refreshing original content is added overtime.

It will get rid of that
I am not going to like the day they remove that.
I bet you half the developers at Reddit use it.
Either way you should just leave Reddit.
I have, I just use it to view Reddit without an account.
So you haven't left Reddit. Like saying you left Google but still Google search without logging in.
https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib There's some redirect browser addons like LibRedirect that can automatically redirect you to redlib instances.
From the readme in the link there’s a redlib instance uptime list. Can use one with 99% uptime if you’re having trouble finding a good one!

The addon I mentioned can ping instances and you can then add or remove them accordingly.
Highly recommend this. It takes some time setting a default instance that isn't down or broken for some sites but worth it.
Some sites seem to just be broken and the only option from what I can tell but it certainly worked well for Reddit. Just had to filter out the specific instances that don't allow for NSFW posts at all.
Unfortunately they block old reddit for VPN users now
That's not true, at least not for all vpns
I think they're doing it for logged out users. If you're logged into an account, you're fine.
It’s random actually and (I guess) it depends on your IP du jour.
Gotta shuffle VPN servers until you find one that works.
I haven't found one that works for a little bit
I pay for Proton and the non-free servers generally work, although some have been blocked.
Eventually I'll treat Reddit like Pinterest, either blocking it entirely from search results, or using FF add-ons to bypass all the cruft laid over the website
Private Internet Access works for me. Just tested logged out in an incognito mode tab.
is there any firefox extensions/userscripts to make it more tolerable on mobile? the buttons are always way too small.
I use "Desktop site" mode and just zoom in lol
Yes, actually. Look up Oldlander addon for Firefox.
It's new and kinda of rough but it definitely helps.
There's a beta of RES for mobile now, but I haven't tried it yet. I mostly use lemmy instead on mobile (but it's not really the same thing).
Or just request the desktop version.
Rdx.overdevs.com is another mobile frontend that works well
