Sort of. Reddit killed the old mobile site, which I built to run over 3G on a 533MHz CPU with 512Mb of RAM

The new mobile website is at least an order of magnitude heavier than the old one

There are some old screenshots of it, I've got one of them in my blog here: https://pdx.su/blog/2023-04-06-rip-reddit-compact/

I loved i.reddit, and really miss sites that were actually optimized for performance and low-end devices. It being removed kind of felt like a final nail in the coffin for that whole era. I think HTML Gmail was killed around that time too.
