I actually wrote some ad blocking rules to remove all of these Reddit annoyances. I've been meaning to submit them to one of the mobile-focused Adblock lists. Here are the elements that you need to hide. I like 1 BlockerX for this:

    .snackbar
    .xpromopopup
    .topbutton
    .xpromopill

I like "promo pill". That's exactly what it feels like.

I leave these on to remind me how far reddit has fallen and to generally avoid the site.

God, Reddit was the bomb 8-9 years ago!

You can also turn off the ads by opening the menu and clicking "Ask to open in App?".

You are doing God's work

Wish I could add those to mobile Safari :P

Install an ad blocker that supports hiding page elements. I added these to 1Blocker on iOS.

That one costs money. Is there a free blocker? I use Firefox Focus, but it does not let me add custom elements.

Adguard is free and supports custom elements. As a bonus, it’s open source. These are the rules I use:

www.reddit.com##.xpromopill

www.reddit.com##.active.xpromopopup

www.reddit.com##.amp.snackbar

www.reddit.com##.navframe > .xpromominimal.dualpartinterstitial

www.reddit.com##.xpromoadfeed

THANK YOU!

I did not know this was possible! Thank you so much!
