So is letting you know about old.reddit.com a bad thing?

So I’m in the same boat but I’ve noticed an interesting dark pattern they use now to discourage old Reddit.

I often land in a comment section of a specific post, and then want to see more of the subreddit by clicking the link of the subreddit in the top of the page. Since about a month now, every subreddit shows me it’s only available through the app. I used to then preface the url with old. however now they’ve somehow done it that I will see the specific (locked) subreddit page, but the url will just be Reddit.com with nothing else, effectively making it impossible to add the old. before the url.

On mobile old.reddit.com loads in desktop mode and is very hard to use.

Is there any way to get an old reddit experience on mobile? Custom CSS. Extensions. Anything? The mobile website for reddit is pure garbage.

https://i.reddit.com, or equivalent reddit.com/.compact

If they remove that then they'll finally have pushed me off reddit on mobile, but I think it's obscure enough that it'll stay in the near future
