Use the Teddit frontend (https://teddit.net/) and the Redirector extension (https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/) to redirect all Reddit links to Teddit and view the content there. You won't be bothered by pushes for login again.

there is also https://libredd.it

This in no way absolves their god awful mobile experience but if you're logged into Reddit with the new UI turned off or use the Old Reddit Redirect add-on it's basically as if nothing on Reddit changed since 2011.

The new UI is great! It keeps the programmers occupied so they stop messing with the old UI that I actually want to use.

This was one of the few UI changes that I never got accustomed to over time. It's still just as bad, irritating and ugly as the first day I used it.

Till one day they pull the old UI and theres nothing you can do about it

The day they turn off old reddit and stop third party API access is the day I can finally detox myself from reddit.

I mean there's not nothing you can do. You can still grab the source to old Reddit and it's just a matter of gluing the old UI to the new API like all the 3rd party clients do.

Not trivial by any means but there's a lot of prior art floating around you could pull from.

Sure they could pull API access and be more hostile to scrapers but that's the current escape hatch for people who would have left because of the redesign.

I'm even more worried they'll shut off the API at some point and start going hostile to third-party clients.

That might begin the next major exodus. Digg -> Reddit -> ???

:) The old wife and a mistress approach

Their mobile website works fine for me, or at least the annoyances are a blessing because I spend less time on it. The one thing I do notice is if you follow a link out of reddit then go back, it shows an error instead of the thread and you have to reload, which loses your place.

Google still loads the AMP page instead, which looks like New Reddit.

That, and don't get me started on their search. Love getting 0 results on initial submit, then reloading the page with the results magically appearing...

Also love being redirected in order to continue reading certain threads

Yeah. I had decent karma or whatever on a ten year old account and got banned for not having an email address. Shrug. Pretty much killed my reddit habit.
