Request the desktop site. Just tried it in Firefox on Android and it no longer says to open in app.

Or use old.reddit.com too.

[-] Anders429@lemmy.world 65 points 2 years ago

Or don't use it.

Or use old.reddit.com too.

Interesting calculus here. Before the r/pocalyspe I'd have said old-reddit was on a 3 month clock to being summarily retired

They also likely lost way more users than they anticipated through the blackouts, and might just let old-reddit be to protect their numbers until the IPO. As long as its not on default Main page, I doubt the advertisers will care. They'll kill it when they can do so quickly and quietly

Reddit doesn’t respect that on iPhones through any browser.

So anti consumer it hurts.

Last I heard, iThings weren't allowed to have other browsers, everything just had to be a different UI on top of Safari.

[-] trifictional@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yes that’s true. That’s why I can confidently say any browser because they are all the same.

[-] Syrc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Desktop Browser seems to be able to bypass some forced restrictions Safari has. Doesn't seem to work for Reddit, though.

Wow that's awful. I didn't think I could hate apple anymore than I have been for the last 17 years (I still remember the time my friend tried copying my music collection to is ipod and itunes deleted the entire folder)

[-] iDunnoBro@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

I'd recommend setting one's own browser to automatically redirect to old.reddit.com for the occasion they might need to find that rare technical solution/see sum tiddies.

I use this plugin to fetch the last known stored version of a given page in the Wayback Machine: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-to-wayback-machine/

Really handy to get a read-only version of useful threads that have been since removed in protest or put in a private subreddit. Plus it doesn't give them any traffic, as it uses an external proxy.

[-] iDunnoBro@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely be using that.

[-] solidgrue@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That's a false dichotomy. Tiddies ARE a technical solution for feeding babies and attracting mates.

....or so I hear?
