> it's annoying that I have to type "old.reddit.com"
You can use their web version? Aren't they constantly trying to get you to install the app?
Or are you on desktop? In which case... wow, I didn't know people could use that.
There's also i.reddit.com, which I find the least unpleasant of all. I never liked old reddit that much even before it was old, and I'm almost impressed that they somehow managed to improve it into something even worse.
