I'm not the same guy you were just talking to but in my experience on mobile Safari, I get "something went wrong, visit the homepage" when I navigate around reddit far too often. What's funny is it actually tends to resolve itself if I wait a second or two, but yeah, reddit engineering and infrastructure is not well equipped to handle the amount of traffic they receive. It's gotten better, but it's still not what you'd expect from the internet's front page.

The main website is OK as is i.reddit.com but their mobile client is hilariously bad in a "I can't believe they thought this was ready" way, it takes an age to load, it stalls out all the time, the tap targets are too small, it has the classic "oh you hit this when you meant that and then clicked that, lets spin the wheel on where you really end up" problem that slow mobile apps have.

I know they deal with insane scale yadayada but it's simply not ready.

That and the horrific dark pattern on the "We want you to have the best, massive red/orange button marked continue that takes you to the app store and the tiny weeny little "continue to mobile site" underneath".

I don't want your damn app, stop asking me.

If I was cynical I'd think they didn't care about the mobile site been awful as it drives people to the app.

Last time I tried it, their app was even worse than the mobile website though.
