You may want to link to https://old.reddit.com/r/nosurf/ so people without accounts or the app can see the page (it’s at least an issue on mobile).

Hosting this community on Reddit feels like having AA meetings in a bar. It’s so easy to click one link and get back in your mindless surfing addiction. Even loading the page came with encouragement to install the Reddit app.

I see the irony, but aren't the people mindlessly browsing reddit the audience you want to reach?

Sure, but this subreddit is unlikely to be something anyone stumble upon. Just like you might put up a flyer for an AA meeting in a bar but host the meeting elsewhere, you can advertise this community on Reddit (via promoted ads) but host it in a less distracting and tempting place.

old is my goto on my laptop, but on mobile I prefer:

https://i.reddit.com/r/nosurf

Which is optimized for use on mobile, and still look like iOS 6.
