Wait, what? We're talking about Reddit trying to force you to use their app instead of a browser. That's on mobile. Are you saying your experience on a desktop is that Reddit is telling you to use their app instead of the browser, on the desktop?

Also, you have to be a madman to even try regular Reddit instead of old.reddit on the desktop.

Yes, on Firefox on endeavorOS I get a prompt to switch to the app visiting subreddits like this.

And i don't use regular reddit, I just don't use reddit often enough to install a redirect plugin.

Do they have a native Linux app or are they saying you should switch devices? If they're telling you to switch to the phone that would be the first time I've ever seen that ever, it's absolutely ridiculous and they can go fuck themselves lol.
