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.

Old.reddit.com

It will get rid of that

[-] [email protected] 94 points 2 months ago

I am not going to like the day they remove that.

I have, I just use it to view Reddit without an account.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I have left, I just view Reddit...

So you haven't left Reddit. Like saying you left Google but still Google search without logging in.

  • Do you think developers have any say in this?
  • They have Reddit Premium for free, and most likely an internal version too.

https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib There's some redirect browser addons like LibRedirect that can automatically redirect you to redlib instances.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Highly recommend this. It takes some time setting a default instance that isn't down or broken for some sites but worth it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago

Unfortunately they block old reddit for VPN users now

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

That's not true, at least not for all vpns

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I think they're doing it for logged out users. If you're logged into an account, you're fine.

[-] best_username_ever 4 points 2 months ago

It’s random actually and (I guess) it depends on your IP du jour.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Gotta shuffle VPN servers until you find one that works.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I haven't found one that works for a little bit

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Private Internet Access works for me. Just tested logged out in an incognito mode tab.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

is there any firefox extensions/userscripts to make it more tolerable on mobile? the buttons are always way too small.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I use "Desktop site" mode and just zoom in lol

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, actually. Look up Oldlander addon for Firefox.

It's new and kinda of rough but it definitely helps.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

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).

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Or just request the desktop version.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Rdx.overdevs.com is another mobile frontend that works well
