What bothers me most about this is that if you go to www on a mobile device, it redirects you to m - that's great, and probably the "right" thing to do. There is probably a "View Desktop Version" link on the mobile page, somewhere. But if you go to the m subdomain on a desktop device, there's no easy way to get to the desktop version without manually changing the URL. If you can redirect from www to m, surely you can redirect from m to www when appropriate.

You may find humour in the comically small "desktop" link at the very end of the page, next to the privacy policy.

I use the No More Mobile plugin to fix that: https://github.com/spixy/NoMoreMobile

For me on safari I just click “request desktop site” and it does redirect me to the non mobile domain.

I feel like there's the issue on Reddit

I feel like this is the least of the issues of Reddit(’s mobile version, social ones excluded for lack of knowledge).
