The new Reddit just does that on every device. Luckily there is still old.reddit.com and i.reddit.com
Reddit runs well IMO if you go to old.reddit.com. The mobile site is borderline useless, presumably intentionally.
I always use old.reddit.com - I find the default site virtually unusable
I can't stand the new reddit I'm always on the old.reddit
I have a firefox extension to automatically redirect to old.reddit.com for the same reason. It's faster, more compact, easier to read, easier to navigate.
That’s because new Reddit is laden with ads and JS and crap. Try https://old.reddit.com
I use https://old.reddit.com since I can't grasp the new UI
That the new reddit. They really want people using their app, despite the website work ok.
Switching to old.reddit works for me.
Unfortunately old.Reddit is not actually a great experience on mobile.
