How long have smaller communities required opening the app to view them?

"Unreviewed content" just seems like a lame excuse to force people to use the app.

Wild how they got mad at X for requiring an account when reddit requires an app.

If you go there use old.reddit.com

I refuse to install their app and allow them to invade my privacy.

it's been a couple months at least. it's so irritating, sometimes I'm looking for info on my disability from others who have it, but i can't view the content because of this.

on another note, i just went to the Levi's website to buy some pants, and they have it locked behind a pop-up asking for your email, or use the app. first major corporation website that I've seen do this. guess they don't need my money..

If you request the desktop version it shows it fine. I’ve been using that workaround for a long time now, because every link was saying I needed to log in or use the app or whatever.
