Reddit has been tiktokified, this script aims to solve that.

Reddit De-TikTokification Script (No Firefox)

Reddit has been TikTokified (the desktop website looks as though it was designed for a phone). This script aims to solve that by redirecting you to the older "new" Reddit.

What's a userscript?

Userscripts allow you to make changes to websites; this is usually handled with JavaScript. Some scripts focus on feature enhancement, such as adding more settings to YouTube or Bandcamp, or simple things like quality of life (QOL) improvements. Some precautions should be taken, as malicious developers could steal your information or do other sneaky things, like replacing all Amazon links with affiliate ones. Have a developer you trust look over the script before installing it.

Installation Guide

1. Installing a userscript manager

These provide a simple way to manage and install userscripts, they can also give you warnings if anything malicious is found.

• Google Chrome/Chromium browsers (Brave, OperaGX) - Tampermonkey

2. Installing the script

Now we'll install the script from the Greasyfork website.

Your userscript manager (e.g., Tampermonkey) will open when you click the install button on Greasyfork. You will be given a preview of the code and presented with a final install button after this, you should be good to go!

Issues?

If you run into any problems, feel free to create an issue. I'll look into it when I find the time.

reddit-redirect's Issues

Stopped Working

Thank you very much for this script, but after using it for a while and it worked great, then suddenly stopped working.

Did anything change? I'm not sure how to diagnose this. I also use reddit enhancer but it worked together and even disabling reddit enhancer doesn't fix it.

I tried fiddling with the "// @match ://www.reddit.com/" but that didn't help. The main issue is reading notifications which pushes you back to the sh.reddit version.
