Have you tried https://old.reddit.com ?

The day old reddit dies is the day I stop using reddit entirely. The desktop version is every bit as awful as the mobile version. For some reason they seem to think that seeing a few more posts or comments on the screen at page load is too much information to process, but taking up 1/4 of my screen with some pictures or videos is a better use of the space. Everything is so obfuscated and difficult to find. I can't stand it.

For a website who's main predecessor bit the dust after a wildly unpopular redesign they didn't do a terribly good job of learning from the past.
Same here.

Shhh! Keep it quiet, or else reddit might remember that exists and kill it.

Kinda afraid of this at this point. I honestly have no idea how they can get away with the non-old version of the website which is one of the most unstable pieces of shit I've ever seen.
There is probably a special floor in hell where middle-managers roll around grating "in-no-vate!".

Today reddit chat doesn't work on either old or new reddit, and images aren't loading.
Like... How bad can they fuck this up?
old.reddit.com is great, but it has nothing to do with what's described above, which is google results. At least on mobile I think you're automatically sent to the stupid AMP page regardless.

Yes this is the way. What reddit has done to its own mobile experience is incredibly disrespectful, I couldn’t agree with this article more. Just... let me see your fucking ads?
Does anyone know a way on ios to forcibly redirect all reddit links to old.reddit.com?

You could try browsing via i.reddit.com, which is an older mobile version, or a third party app with a better UI.
