I still miss i.reddit. I've been trying hard to get off of reddit entirely but it hard because the community and information subreddits provide is still very good. But the other day I noticed the reddit frontpage is just repeating posts if you continue to click next page...
This is what I do and it's not great. It's fine for me but I understand if people don't like zooming in all of the way to click the tiny "comment" button.
I am not sure if it is statistically significant but I founded a small tech sub-reddit (~30k users) and from the moderator stats 70% of traffic is from their iOS app.
I used to use 'reddit.com/.compact' which was an actual mobile friendly and light interface, but that was depricated this year and now, like you, I am stuck with old.reddit.com on mobile.
70% come from the official Reddit iOS app? How much are from visiting Reddit directly and any other Reddit official apps? I'd expect a tech community to use the official apps less than the norm.
I'm not sure how well accounted the other apps are, there doesn't seem to be a specific category for other apps.
But for 'direct' access basically if I put new.reddit and old.reddit and 'mobile web' whatever that is, the total of all three categories is less than 10%.
I guess also that these stats will not be very accurate for desktop if people are using ublock, ghostery, etc.
