My main annoyance with AMP is reddit because their version is especially shitty if you expect the logged in version. I've found the easiest way to get normal Reddit is to click the upvote button.

I havent got any amp in a while and thought it went away only to realize that it was because I use Duckduckgo. Its a true relief, Amp is a horrible excuse to accaparate the web. Down with amp and the google supremacy.
Not that reddit web is much better than AMP.
I've switched to their android app for this. Much faster and better experience.
Thats the idea. They cripple the web version so you use the app that can spam you with notifications. I use i.reddit.com which loads up a super fast version clearly designed to work well with an iphone 3.
I switched to Compact reddit a few years ago - much easier ride than the full site or needing a separate app.

Faster relative to the website but reddits app just seems... ill. Just not very good.

I have been on connections ranging from 500k, to 500M, to ~2.1G (presumably bottlenecked on the wifi but you get the idea) and the app seems to load at exactly the same rate for me.

Barely related but I've yet to find a home run of an app for this site. I'm using materialistic at the moment but it's nigh impossible to manage replies and I can't see votes.
