Being Swedish, i love Flashback.org - Ir's the best since unsliced bread you can slice yourself.

Use https://i.reddit.com. It's basically the craiglist view of reddit built for mobile. Super fast and no fluff.

https://old.reddit.com

It seems highly unlikely that that will be supported for very long past the final launch of the new design.

Reddit scrubs the identity out of many communities/topics. I have found much deeper and meaningful discussion on focused forums. For almost any topic with any significant interest there is a non Reddit forum or community that is deeper and more customized. Not always, but usually. Just support those communities and forums. Example, mtgsalvation is by far better to visit for meaningful MTG deck building and discussion…

That has always been the case, Reddit is just the mainstream dilution of any real community.

* Voat.co * Quora.com * Slashdot.org

Slashdot and voat are full of the beardiest necks on the Internet.

Quora is also showing signs of hardening of the arteries in its old age ... not really fun places to go to if you're not fully indoctrinated in the groupthink.

You can always use a third party app. That works around any website redesigns.

I actually read reddit with custom CSS filters and filtering userscripts(which redesign (obviously) broke), i don't want a mobile app expirience.

I expect that we'll soon see a handful of browser extensions that try to fix the redesign.

Other then here, Voat is the best overall. Their source is on GITHub if you want to roll your own. https://github.com/voat/voat If you want to do your own Reddit here are some clones, largely PHP based: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/77bhdx/phpbased...

Yah that place is cancer. I just took a quick peek inside of /v/politics and noped out. I'm an advocate getting balanced news, but this place is clearly heavily biased. I'm not saying Reddit is balanced either, but a bit more so than Voat.
