A comment on Reddit's redesign could kill discussion subreddits. Parent comment

protip: append ".compact" to the URL (before the "?" query string, if any). All reddit links will also now automatically have .compact. Bookmark it.

Starter pack: https://www.reddit.com/.compact https://www.reddit.com/r/all.compact https://www.reddit.com/message/inbox/.compact

This gives the old reddit mobile experience, which is far lighter and better. But some things are broken, e.g. "submit" is broken; "parent" take you to the modern mobile version (but "conext" works); "sidebar" needs a separate page.

To any reddit admins reading: please don't take this functionality away.

You can also just change the subdomain to i.reddit.com instead of www.reddit.com to achieve the same effect.

e.g.

https://i.reddit.com/r/all

I personally find this quicker to type.

TIL

BTW another breakage is no comment "delete" link; need to switch back for that.
