I couldn't reproduce that, so maybe they are testing that "feature".

But damn. I logged into reddit in the default mode for the first time in (years?) and holy cow what a disaster. Herky jerky async widgets assembling themselves, huge images and videos and animated crap I don't want to see, maybe 2 posts visible altogether on the front page (without scrolling), vast amounts of wasted whitespace, and "Sign in to Reddit with Google." Uh, no. Ha ha, thanks for the option.

Still better than mobile, freezing up the device to inquire if I want to use the app. ("No...I also don't want to use the NSA's app, but thanks.")

How does anyone use that site?

add ".compact" to any reddit address. Looks great on my small screened phone. And looks great on my large screened computer monitor.

Eg

https://www.reddit.com/r/news/.compact
