I have it too but I’ve since moved on to using rdx. It’s actually a hard client instead of a safari extension. Can’t login and post/comment though, and it only works for browsing/lurking, which is what I mostly do nowadays.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I have it as well but I didn’t I could redirect a browser page to opening in rdx
This is something that is sorely needed. unsure how this could be implemented on safari ios
Or just use old.Reddit
Also helps because uBlock will remove any comments that are actually ads.
The problem is they're finding more ways to redirect you from .old to the current Reddit, so be careful how you click on links to posts.
I don’t like the old version. Looks like shit
It's a preference, I get it.
But there are a few major issues that the new Reddit has that aren't an issue with the old Reddit view:
- Forced to login to view certain communities (or if you're on a VPN).
- Ads that pretend to be redditors commenting.
- Needing to click "view more comments" after scrolling past 3 or 4 comments
- Needing to expand all comments just to follow a conversation.
- Custom upvote/downvote icons are not supported.
- If you're viewing a thread (not logged in) and you want to upvote/comment on something, after logging in the new Reddit immediately redirects you to the Reddit homepage instead of allowing you to upvote/comment immediately where you were at.
Forced to login to view certain communities (or if you’re on a VPN).
Waiiiit the old version bypasses that? Nice
Ads that pretend to be redditors commenting.
It sucks indeed but I believe good blocking filters work with this.
Needing to click “view more comments” after scrolling past 3 or 4 comments
Agreed, though this only seems to appear when not logged in iirc
Needing to expand all comments just to follow a conversation.
Sucks indeed, but makes it easier to read in some cases. Don't we have the same on lemmy?
Custom upvote/downvote icons are not supported.
Okay I guess. Never really cared as I feel like most subs use confusing icons.
If you’re viewing a thread (not logged in) and you want to upvote/comment on something, after logging in the new Reddit immediately redirects you to the Reddit homepage instead of allowing you to upvote/comment immediately where you were at.
Yea, it sucks. Something they should've fixed by now.
Valid complaints then. If the UI doesn't bother you and you prefer those QoL improvements, then I get the love of old.reddit
Lmao no, old Reddit is peak Reddit. No bullshit padding and wasted space. All the info condensed in a clean and easy to read layout.
The redesigns have all been absolutely trash, significantly reducing the efficiency of using the site, and recently even increasing the tracking methods (have you seen those /s/ links and the urchin metadata they explode into?)
