Hey folks - sorry for the confusion this may have caused. We have an update on these changes outlined here.

[–]zorton213 21 points22 points  (16 children)

Came here to check on this too. The entire UI on the current mobile site is simply interior to the clean simplicity of i.reddit.com. And it will be a cold day in hell before I install a mobile app for what should function on my browser.

      Thank you so much !

      [–]zorton213 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      Oh, thank you. You're a gentleman and a scholar.

      [–]solitude042 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      thank you!

      [–]BloodHelios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      That doesn't work for me at all sadly.

      [–]slapdashbr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      doesn't work on chrome for android

      [–]MrCelroy 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Thank you!

      [–]MrCelroy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      I am disappointed that they made the decision to redirect users of i.reddit to the new site.... Stop forcing the slow and clunky site onto us and give us a freaking option for crying out loud

      [–]spatpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      This doesn't work on any of my phones, neither in Firefox or Android, regardless if I'm logged in or out. But ironically it works perfect on the desktop.

      [–]darek-sam 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      It worked for me until they killed it for me today.

      [–]CIark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Yup so sad

      [–]squirrels2022 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      That pisses me off too!

      "____" works better on the app!

      I DONT GIVE A FUCK!

        I hope that it stays up forever and it's not just a case of the webmasters forgetting about an edge case. The admins decided to ignore this thread in favor of a "weekly highlights" post. Experience tells me they don't like to be the bearer of bad news...

        [–]hat-of-sky 3 points4 points  (5 children)

        It's gone!

        I've been using compact for 5 years ago and now it's gone! Old doesn't help at all, it's Page Not Found. Ugh, I hate all the visual NOISE! This may finally break my addiction.

        [–]nurse_camper 2 points3 points  (4 children)

        Compact was the best. Old Reddit is ok on an actual screen but compact is great on my phone. My Reddit use is definitely about to decrease.

        [–]hat-of-sky 0 points1 point  (3 children)

        Hey it's working for me now.

        https://www.old.reddit.com/message/inbox/.compact

        (That was weird, I tried to copy paste the link and it took out the old and compact! I typed it back in, let's see if it works. Edit: oh it doesn't. Let's try this:

        https://old.reddit.com/.compact

        edit again: yeah this one works for me.)

        [–]nurse_camper 1 point2 points  (2 children)

        Nope. Doesn’t work.

        [–]hat-of-sky 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        Drat, I'm sorry. I've been going through and substituting old for www, and adding /.compact at the end, to all the links as I go, and it's working for now, for me. But who knows how long. It also keeps trying to push me back, but I love my soft blue screen and refuse all that red and black shit. Plus ads of course, which is the real reason on their end.

        [–]nurse_camper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Yeah all good man. I’ll mess around with it and maybe I can get it to work.

        [–]DongLaiCha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        This is gone for me

          It's the only good way to browse any discussion sub. This or an equivalent needs to be an option

            [–]squished_hedgehog 3 points4 points  (1 child)

            I can't get the .compact version on my phone. I like it because it's so text-focussed. Now it redirects to the new design.

            [–]R_LennoxHelper 2 points3 points  (1 child)

            Desktop. Even on my iPhone mini. I hate the app.

              And with this move I will no longer use the site on my phone

              [–]Puzzled_Hour8054 4 points5 points  (2 children)

              Please fix this! I literally will not use another version because I hate it so much.

                This is a crime against humanity lol

                Thankfully someone found that other link but if they remove that too there's no way for us Opera Mini users to view reddit anymore. Another attempt to force us to use the app

                [–]astoriaboundagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                Well, that's the end of that I guess. Way to kill something good.

                [–]airshowfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                What a bummer :(

                [–]unstable_asteroid 3 points4 points  (2 children)

                rip i.reddit. The mobile site is a slow mess. Modern web design was a mistake.

                  Hey thanks! This seems to work for now.

                  [–]TheseAreNotTheDroids 1 point2 points  (1 child)

                  I just ran into the same thing. It is redirecting my phone to the normal reddit page (reddit.com) which is just awful in comparison. I suppose I'll be using RiF for the time being, but this is very irritating.

                  [–]Michichael -1 points0 points  (4 children)

                  Same here. If it's retired then the sites basically dead for mobile. The slow, janky, ugly alternative isn't usable on mobile and nobody with any sense would use an app instead of a lightweight web page.

                    Doesn't seem to work for me. I get a broke reddit page. Hopefully if it's working for you then it's something they're fixing.

                    i heard you the first time.....

                    [–]Ryccardo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                    So, sounds like the reason to use an app (not theirs, of course) instead of an heavyweight page that requires JS and displays like 3 comments if you're not logged in? :P

                    [–]spixt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                    Trust that Glory Girl is the one to spot this first. Always paying attention to detail, that girl.
