Agree. There's a bunch of websites I don't visit anymore: Pinterest (you need an account just to browse pictures? c'mon!), Reddit (some subreddits are only available via the app... I'll never install the Reddit app), Instagram, Medium, Twitter, lots of newspapers.

I thought I was going to miss them, but I haven't.



You can use `scribe.rip` instead of `medium.com`. The former is just an anonymous frontend for the latter. All the info you need at https://scribe.rip/


I miss Medium. I do find myself clicking on search results that lead to Medium posts, then immediately clicking 'back'.

It makes me feel a little sad every time I don't look at something there. There are a lot of Medium posts written by people that clearly thought (or think) that they're writing a blog that's available to all, when they're not.


> some subreddits are only available via the app

just fyi: old.reddit.com accesses ALL subreddits


Using a 3rd party client also fixes all the UI issues with new reddit as well.

I use Apollo on iPhone, but I've heard Sync for Reddit is good on Android.


i.reddit.com works and is mobile-friendly


Same here, I’ve simply written them off.

The sad thing is the next generation never sees what’s been taken from them, and our absence merely solidifies the new norm.
