No need for an account, you can still use old.reddit.com for the rare occasion you need to read something. If you’re on mobile, append .i
to the end of the old Reddit URL (but before ?
if there is one).
Sadly no. IIRC that used to be the “compact” view (available with .compact
at the end), which also opened other links in the compact view. But that got removed half a year ago, and only .i
is left as of now.
