There are at least 10 different Microsoft design conventions in Windows 11

Is it just me, or can this Reddit post not even be viewed with iOS Safari? I understand that Reddit wants me to download their app, but to prevent me from even seeing the post is a step too far.

What stopped me was having to click "View rest of discussion" to read a full comment thread. When I clicked it, it didn't show me the discussion, but instead took me to a window with another submission from r/Windows11 in focus. I had to scroll back up to actually find the discussion. Good grief!

Edit: I meant "Continue this thread," not "View rest of discussion."

Try to view too many comments and it'll force you to log in, too. At which point I just close the tab, remembering that I've never read anything in a reddit thread that was worth the time it takes to log in.

There's also the NSFW thing too. If you try to view post in specific subreddits it will try to force you to the app. These aren't even smut subreddits. I think /r/greentext (4chat story screenshots) does this. I really need to finally leave.

No, that’s “normal” and has been there for a while.

This post forces you to use the app to see any of it period, or returns you to /r/popular. First time I’ve ever seen it as well.

Can't view it in Duck Duck Go browser on Android either. Reddit forces me to either download the app or go to /r/popular.

It’s pathetic. You can request the desktop version though which works fine in landscape mode

Most days I can't view Facebook or Instagram content because I don't have an account, I only get a login page.

I guess this is a trend. I wonder if it's affecting influencers' business.

Instagram walked back the forced-login-to-view-page change 2-3 weeks ago, and within the last couple days put it back on.

Guess I don't get to see Instagram pages anymore. Sad thing is many small businesses use Instagram for their "website", there's a few around me that I haven't checked out because I can't see their "website" on Instagram.

> I wonder if it's affecting influencers' business.

HN is a self-selecting bunch. The vast, vast majority of people that care about influencers are logged in all the time anyway.
