You can always use a libreddit instance. Change reddit.com in the URL to libredd.it. I have a local instance and use the Privacy Redirect extension to make Google search results use my local instance instead of the actual site.
There’s a great reddit app alternative called Stealth, you won’t need to log in and you can see the content you want to see, you may download it from F-Droid
People are saying they all have seen this but… I’m on reddit mobile all the time and this is new to me. At least this way of doing it.
What I normally see is “reddit is better in the app” and two buttons, asking you to try the app or if you want to stay in the browser. It was presented kind of as a choice. Now it looks like a demand!
They have way more tracking and advertising options on an app and it’s harder to adblock there…
Also apps can stay active in the background etc, users just have way less control. Especially casual users will just let the apps have camera and microphone rights and whatever.
You gotta vote by leaving those platforms; It doesnt matter if you get the app, they are going down the “mine engagement data while we drive engagement” path and it leads nowhere good.
I’ll pass. My reddit account got permabanned for saying that the cop who killed Daniel Shaver deserves to die. If that’s worth a permaban but the numerous subreddits filled with bigotry can stay up on reddit, then I’m fine not having an account or using the site anymore.

I am not looking for a solution, but just want to teach people that this kind if anti-feature is what you get from for-profit enterprises.
im here cause I hate reddit, and all i see are posts about reddit -> why?
thank you reddit for singlehandedly curing my reddit addiction with their awful redesigns lmao 🙏🙏
I’ve noticed this too. I guess I’ll live without them…

How do you get privacy redirect on mobile?
https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser
I use untrackme to redirect various stuff, but it’s external and not directly integrated with the browser

Not sure if ghacks collection contains privacy redirect though. One that does contain it definitely is nobody’s collection (ID: 15698979)
That’s annoying for sure, but you can still get around that with old.reddit.com and i.reddit.com.
I’ve installed an opensource reddit app to bypass to annoying limitations and tracking when needed. Also it load 100x faster.
Redreader, 10mo of storage. Worth it.
RedReader is nice. I personally use Slide, it’s great too.
The old version is still much better… there’s a browser extension that does the redirect automatically
Oooh nice didn’t know about this.
Take a look at Privacy Redirect. It supports a bunch of services, like youtube and twitter.

I used to see that, but now I’m seeing what OP shared.
Yeah I always just see that as well. But I am logged in, this isn’t shown to people who are logged in.

Switch to “desktop mode” This is the shit that started me looking for alternative, its just sooooo pushy
may be try teddit.net or libredd.it
Try i.reddit.com instead, it’s reddit’s secret older mobile website.
I also like old.reddit.com, even for your mobile browser.
I’ll try it, thx!

Been that way for a while now.
yes. however, you can still log in and then it won’t do this.

yes but what if you don’t want to do that.
