That's why i deleted Reddit account twice and I moved to Lemmy, I don't want forcing you to use shitty Reddit app to view Unreviewed content subreddits (lemmy.world)

Havent tried for a while, but you used to be able to change the url to

https://old.reddit.com/r/…..

to bypass these shitty “use our app instead”. You don’t get mobile view but you can at least see it

the "new" design is pretty much unusable on desktop too, imo. IF I absolutely must visit reddit, old.reddit it is.

There's also firefox extension that does just that, in case you forget.

On mobile you can use RedReader. When reddit revoked access to its API, it made an exception for RedReader, because that app supports certain accessibility features which are "not yet" (i.e. never will be) supported by the official reddit app. So if you still want to access reddit on mobile, use RedReader, it has no ads and is much less irritating than the official reddit app.
