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.

I didn't read all the comments here so someone else may have suggested this but for my android when I'm met with this I can open the browser options and choose desktop site to bypass it. Still annoying but every once in a while I need info goddamnit

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Cryptobros, e-thots, and ads. That's Reddit these days.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

"Download our app and consume ads on it because... becaaaaauuuuuusssseeeeee, um, let's say SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN? Maybe terrorism? Just pick a reason you'd believe and get the app, okay?"

Firefox+libredirect solves all your woes.

var oldReddit  = window.location.protocol + "//" + "old.reddit.com" + window.location.pathname + window.location.search + window.location.hash;
window.location.replace (oldReddit);

Edited so it still allows image preview, because old.reddit' one is broken now.

What happens if you replace "www" in the URL with "old"?

They might not have the block there

Get you to download their app so they can harvest your user data.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

trying to appeal to venture capitalists and investors by hiding the sketchy porn sites would be my guess, considering they got busted by cnn for underage stuff.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

You can view this content in desktop mode, it's only on mobile outside the app that you can't view it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Anymore it seems to be bots posting nonsense and mods banning anyone who isn't posting porn

All I'm gonna say is I've been using my banned account and I can still browse any sub.

I literally can't interact in any way but can still see every post.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

I think what's even more annoying is when you actually do use the app, every community you visit, it pops up a notification that says "turn on notifications so you don't miss updates from this community!"

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Love the absence of logic in these messages. Next time it'll be "pay $2 to continue" or "do a barrel roll to continue".

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

Drink a verification can to continue

Shoving their di*ks up some things and down others

[–] [email protected] 49 points 11 months ago (6 children)

Pro tip: add old. in the beggining of url. Reddit still has such answers for niche questions

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can't access old.reddit.com with VPN these days. I wouldn't be surprised if reddit killed it soon.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can't access the normal Reddit site behind a VPN either. The only solution is to use a private frontend like Redlib with LibRedirect, to automatically redirect all Reddit links to Redlib.

Yeah but old works like crap on mobile.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Boost still works with some finagling with mods

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Better than not working.

Also he just needs the info

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I'm going to guess enabling "desktop mode" in Chrome (idk if other browsers have it) would probably work as well, but would throw off the layout most likely.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There are browser plugins that do this for you, as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

The only browser plugin you need for Reddit is LibRedirect to automatically redirect all Reddit links to a private frontend called Redlib

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Still works for the NSFW stuff too

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Just change your view to desktop viewer.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

no offense but who the fuck cares, you know what i mean? that shithole can enjoy the hell it has consigned itself to.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (2 children)

And like, why are people surprised it's only getting worse? Of course it is, we knew long ago the removal of 3rd party app was the beginning of the master plan to monetize our communities.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

They're surprised because they've already gotten used to the previous thing.

The Enshitification will continue until moral improves.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

After morale improves, enshittification will accelerate.
