what's the difference between old.reddit and reddit? and why does reddit support old.reddit?
Old Reddit has good formatting.
Old.reddit is reddit from a time when it was designed with user experience in mind, rather than trend chasing and maximizing ad placement.
I've heard that the reason old.reddit is still supported is because new reddit can't run without it. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if the developers of new reddit were pushed to rush something out to meet demands from higher up, and therefore didn't make something clean and severable. I mean, we're talking about a site whose video player wants to load every resolution at once on every video you scroll past in an infinite feed, my expectations aren't terribly high.

Switching to desktop mode on mobile also bypasses it
I'd never go back to Reddit again if the several game projects I beta test for in my spare time would migrate over to lemmy.

Does it work in +18 subs too? I tried to see a comment thread In a post of a LGBTQ subreddit, but the post/sub (idk what one) was flagged as mature content, that requires an account to login and read, and I wasn't able to read them.
It was about gender symbols! Not p*rn, before someone ask...
Yes

Request desktop website
Wish it looked better on mobile. I only ever browsed reddit (lemmy too) on my phone.
