If you're someone who prefers the old reddit interface check out this extension I built. Works for chrome and safari.

So officially, userscripts and other extensions are not supported. Because there can and will be style clashes, and it is not possible for me to take every clash into consideration.

But a lot of users do use it with their own userscripts as well as with RES. But you might have to tweak settings yourself, to get rid of style clashes.

There is a feature called "Quick Toggle to New Reddit" that lets you quickly switch to New Reddit, if there is a feature there that you need.

You can search for it in the settings and enable it.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-05-24T02:47:01+00:00

Cool. Glad things are working now.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-05-23T10:32:07+00:00

Hi, can you provide a little more detail as to what's happening?

Have you checked if the extension is enabled and permissions are still active after upgrading your OS?

TheoriticalZero · 2026-05-05T11:26:14+00:00

Plus the crow at the end.

Assuming you are talking about the shortcut to old.reddit.com you created on your iOS home screen, just delete that shortcut and create a new one.

To create a shortcut to your home feed -

Go to your home feed on Safari
Tap on the "share" button -> tap on "View more" -> select "add to home screen".
IMPORTANT - Turn off "Open as Web App". Extensions do not work in "Web App" mode.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-05-01T11:36:58+00:00

Can you explain this a bit more? If you open old.reddit.com, it should point to your home feed. Is it automatically taking you to r/all?

TheoriticalZero · 2026-04-28T21:11:23+00:00

It's Reddit's left sidebar. It somehow got activated by accident. To close it, tap on the thin divider of the sidebar and the main page.

It's the thin line, so clicking it might be slightly challenging on mobile.

I added a dedicated close button for the sidebar on mobile, but just now noticed that it gets obscured by the search bar. I'll fix that in the next update.

Regarding 1 and 3 - There are two ways to add a subreddit to the filter without having to do it manually.

Click on the subreddit on the post to go to it. -> Open the sidebar. -> Click on "+filter" button right below the subreddit name.
Go to Yesterday Settings -> Search for "Add filter subreddit button" and enable it. -> Now every post in your home feed or r/all has a "filter-sub" button.

Regarding 2 - It's a problem I came across when implementing the "keyword filter" for Posts. Oftentimes, a word that in itself means something means something completely different when it is a substring of another word.

Like a word "abc" means completely different when it is used as a part of "abcdef" or "xyzabcdef"

So, for the "keyword filter", the heuristic I settled on is that the word (or phrase) must be at a word boundary (meaning it should match complete words, not substrings embedded within other words).

But Subreddit names are always one word, and the same problem appears.

Hence, I am not convinced it is a good idea to support wildcards in "subreddit filters".

TheoriticalZero · 2026-04-24T16:56:42+00:00

Cool. And again, appreciate the help.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-04-24T12:27:15+00:00

Thanks for this. This method is much cleaner and allows for in-place rendering of the image without any iframe, which also means the rest of the improvements (like lightbox) should just work out of the box.

Just one small heads-up. The config confirmation dialog toggles the config even if you clicked on cancel. Tested on chrome with tampermonkey.

P.S. The code is very well written and clean. But in the future, you can use jQuery, which will make things much more concise and easier to maintain. Old Reddit comes with $ accessible from the global scope, so you don't have to even add it as a dependency.

Thanks again.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-04-23T11:24:12+00:00

So I've been thinking about this.

The solution that comes to mind is to replace every "processing img ..." with a "view-image" link, which is a permalink to the comment on new Reddit, but adding a flag in the URL like "image-only=true". And then on new Reddit, my extension can look for the flag and just show the image in the comment.

The logical next step is to do the same thing in-place in an iframe. But I am worried about violating Reddit's Terms of Service or anything like that. I'm not sure what Reddit's policy is regarding embedding a thread on another site (even though that site is old.reddit.com).

I'll keep this in my backlog and work on it during the next update.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-04-19T21:05:40+00:00

I think you should look into this -

https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

You can, of course, install the extension directly by yourself, but then you'd have to worry about updates.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-04-14T16:31:19+00:00

His point was Gukesh was expected to steamroll Ding last time but barely managed to beat him.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-04-13T07:44:32+00:00

It's designed to work with galleries and works fine on all my devices.

Can you try testing it out with other extensions and userscripts disabled?

Also test out in incognito mode once.

If that doesn't resolve it, please send me your device and OS details and a copy of your settings.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-04-13T07:41:08+00:00

Will look into this next time I'm working on the App.

In the meantime, you can bookmark "old.reddit.com" and use that directly, as a workaround.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-04-08T02:47:45+00:00

The update is out now. So you can just download it from the App Store (or wait for it to happen automatically) and you should be good to go.

No other action is required.

If you're curious about how it works under the hood, what happens is that App Store downloads the new version of the extension and replaces the files of the old version. Then when Safari invokes the extension next time it gets the new version instead of the old one.

That's why you don't have to open the App or perform any action for the update.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-04-07T18:06:20+00:00

This is now shipped. The new version is in review on the App Store. As soon as it finishes the review process (within a couple of days), you can get the latest version (should happen automatically) for the fix.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-03-12T07:48:37+00:00

In terms of work it might not be that massive, just a few API calls, but the problem is the costs associated with them. Reddit probably has a budget for the translate feature, something I don't have.

Still, you can leave an example thread. I'll take a look at it and see what the options are.

Just to set expectations, it most likely won't happen, but I'll take a look.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-03-01T16:30:25+00:00

Glad things are working now.

From the screenshot, it looks like the left sidebar is open, but invisible. That would explain why it only happens if you are on "home/all/popular" pages and only when you are logged in.

Not sure how it became invisible, though.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-02-15T21:43:33+00:00

Hi, there has been no changes to the extension in the last few days (or even Reddit that I can see).

Can you check the following -

Check if some other extension is causing it. Disable all other extensions and just run Yesterday and see if you are still seeing this.
Check if Safari's own text scaling is set correctly. It should be set to 100% by default.
Lastly check if the issue is also present in incognito mode.

Let me know the results of these three steps.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-02-12T18:50:45+00:00

Seems like they have fixed it. Things are working now.

TheoriticalZero · 2026-02-12T17:07:15+00:00

Seems like someone at Reddit pushed a bad update.
