Review summary

OldLander For Old Reddit is highly praised for revitalizing the Reddit mobile experience by restoring the classic old.reddit.com interface that many users prefer over Reddit's newer versions and apps. It is efficient, reliable, and actively maintained with responsive developers, making Reddit usable and enjoyable on mobile again. However, multiple users report issues such as inconsistent vote recording, oversized or undersized icons with limited customization, slower load times, and missing subscribed subreddits in feeds. Despite these drawbacks, the add-on remains a crucial tool for users seeking a better Reddit mobile browsing experience.

Pros

Significantly improves the Reddit mobile browsing experience, making it smoother and more user-friendly compared to the official app or default mobile site.
Restores usability to old.reddit.com which users prefer over Reddit's new interface and apps.
Actively maintained with timely updates and responsive developer support.
Lightweight and efficient, working with minimal fuss and improving productivity for users.
Open source and appreciated by the community for preserving a preferred Reddit experience.

Cons

Upvote/downvote functionality is inconsistent; some users report that votes are not recorded or the score defaults to zero, which can be confusing.
Icon sizing issues: buttons (like upvote/downvote, comments, save) are often disproportionately large or small, particularly on comments, and there's a lack of user-adjustable settings for button sizes.
Loading times are slower compared to native Reddit, which may affect users on slower devices.
Some subscribed subreddits do not appear in the sidebar or feed, limiting usability for certain users.
Missing customization options like sorting subreddit lists, icon position preferences, and additional themes make the experience less flexible.

2025-04-21	AO*****	Makes mobile browsing of Reddit much smoother since they put a chokehold on the mobile app API. Would love to be able to sort the subreddit list, and maybe tweak the multi Reddit links. Not even sure how I got those two. Anyway, it's really freaking solid and I'm grateful to have it.

2024-09-22	Ke*****	I love what this extension is working towards, since old.reddit is the only tolerable way to use it now, and we desperately need something to make it mobile friendly. But it's still a little incomplete. For example, the size of the buttons on posts are adjustable, but for some reason the buttons on comments aren't, and at least for me, those buttons are unusably small. It also slows load times down, which I suppose is expected, but it worth noting for anyone on slowler devices. Excited to see where this goes, though.

2024-09-01	*****	Extremely efficient and works with minimal fuss. Makes reddit usable again after they destroyed the compact interface and third party apps. Highly recommend. The upvote/downvote buttons work for me - although the default upvote score with this extension is 0 instead of 1, which takes a little time to get used to.

2024-07-30	St*****	Makes reddit more user friendly, but does not record up votes or down votes. After fiddling with various other extension, I can confirm that the saving issue ONLY occurs when this extension is installed.
