That’s not true, at least not for all vpns
johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I think they’re doing it for logged out users. If you’re logged into an account, you’re fine.

It’s random actually and (I guess) it depends on your IP du jour.
Patquip@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Gotta shuffle VPN servers until you find one that works.
tyrant@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I haven’t found one that works for a little bit
SirSamuel@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I pay for Proton and the non-free servers generally work, although some have been blocked.
Eventually I’ll treat Reddit like Pinterest, either blocking it entirely from search results, or using FF add-ons to bypass all the cruft laid over the website

Private Internet Access works for me. Just tested logged out in an incognito mode tab.

is there any firefox extensions/userscripts to make it more tolerable on mobile? the buttons are always way too small.
LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
I use “Desktop site” mode and just zoom in lol
deweydecibel@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yes, actually. Look up Oldlander addon for Firefox.
It’s new and kinda of rough but it definitely helps.
johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 7 months ago
There’s a beta of RES for mobile now, but I haven’t tried it yet. I mostly use lemmy instead on mobile (but it’s not really the same thing).
lemmyng@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Or just request the desktop version.

Rdx.overdevs.com is another mobile frontend that works well
ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I am not going to like the day they remove that.
bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
I bet you have to developers at Reddit use it.
Either way you should just leave Reddit.
ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I have, I just use it to view Reddit without an account.
FutileRecipe@lemmy.world 7 months ago
So you haven’t left Reddit. Like saying you left Google but still Google search without logging in.

There's some redirect browser addons like LibRedirect that can automatically redirect you to redlib instances.
LucifersCircle@lemmy.world 7 months ago
From the readme in the link there’s a redlib instance uptime list. Can use one with 99% uptime if you’re having trouble finding a good one!

The addon I mentioned can ping instances and you can then add or remove them accordingly.
Alk@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Highly recommend this. It takes some time setting a default instance that isn’t down or broken for some sites but worth it.
DarkThoughts@fedia.io 7 months ago
Some sites seem to just be broken and the only option from what I can tell but it certainly worked well for Reddit. Just had to filter out the specific instances that don't allow for NSFW posts at all.
