On mobile web, you can also select an option from the hamburger menu to tell it to give you the desktop interface (which persists until you clear your cookies), and in your user settings you can set your default desktop interface as old reddit. Call me crazy for using the desktop site on mobile, but I find it far more usable to pinch and zoom than to navigate the redesign.

Nope not crazy at all, I do the exact same. I’m not sure what exactly needs to change about the mobile reddit design (I’m not a UI designer), but it’s just obviously worse when compared to using the desktop version, even on mobile.

Have you tried the /.compact mode? It's not the same as the redesign, it's essentially old.reddit.com resized for a mobile interfact
