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?

Any other recommendations for browsing reddit without an app?

.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.

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.
