I request desktop version on mobile for reddit. The dark patterns break functionality otherwise. even pinching and zooming on old.reddit.com is better than that.
Also there is the "old Reddit" add-on for various browsers , auto changes the URL to old.Reddit.com
Unfortunately this is currently incompatible with current Firefox on android
Like most useful plugins.. :/
I ported my extension for these redirects to the new iOS Safari extension model. You can choose to also use the old i.reddit.com interface as well it that’s your thing.
