I have some experience working as a webdev and I don’t exactly understand why “non-desktop-browsers” would “not work” when desktop-browsers work. That isn’t the case unless you specifically and intentionally make it that way.
No it’s 100% intentional. The mobile web app has been similarly hamstrung to drive you to use the app as much as possible for that sweet sweet native app data collection.
There isn’t a desktop app that they want to send you to, but there is a mobile app.
You can enable desktop mode in your browser or, as someone pointed out, stick “.i” onto the very end of the URL.
Or just don’t go. I mean, there are whole communities on the Thrediverse where you can creatively complain about Reddit. Not like one has to go to Reddit to find upset people doing that.
I hate Reddit like everyone else, but to be fair it’s always been that way.
Yeah, it never worked on 3rd parties either. It’s nothing new.

Which is exactly how it was designed to work. /sigh
But then surely “it has always been this way” is not true.
