It’s been years. With that said Reddit’s UX is /terrible,/ a subtle touch to the navbar scrolls to the top of the page which is a daily frustration when reading comments halfway down a huge page on my tablet. Videos on their site is another one, it doesn’t matter if I mute them when I scroll down and back up it unmutes. I wish their was an alternative I would love to never use Reddit again at this point, but all my obscure communities for TV shows, movies and stock trading are on there.

I find old.reddit.com to be the better experience on tablet/desktop, especially with the custom subreddit themes disabled.
i.reddit.com works nicely on Mobiles.
And having to constantly click on "Continue this thread" to read another comment or two (or maybe even 0). I understand that they wanted to stop endless threads from polluting the comment section, but they should make it possible to easily disable this behavior.

It's getting worse. On mobile they put the "load more comments" button behind a login wall a couple of months ago (i.reddit.com still works, but has other limitations).
