Ask HN: Did Reddit just shut down i.reddit.com?

On mobile, I've always used https://i.reddit.com/ and just now links started redirecting to their normal mobile site. Anyone else see this?

I highly recommend Apollo (https://apolloapp.io/) for browsing reddit on iOS (also RES (https://redditenhancementsuite.com/) for desktops)

Any other recommendations for browsing reddit without an app?

https://old.reddit.com/.compact

.compact stopped working for me sometime in the last 10 hours or so.

Same for me. Last night old.reddit.com/.compact was working just fine, not anymore. Redirects to non-.compact.

Sadly it stopped working now. Well the new reddit mobile site is not too bad, except too slow somehow.

Oh man, you're a lifesaver. Thanks!

Not an app so to speak but a browser addon [1] that redirects to privacy site-specific proxies for Reddit, Youtube, Twitter and several others. Each can be toggled on/off.

Wish that worked on firefox mobile!

Oh good point, I had not checked if that was one of the few approved addons for the mobile version. I forgot that is very limited. I do very little from my cell phone as I can not stand the UI/UX of smart phones.
