(yes this is different and yes it’s confusing)
I am, indeed, confused. What's the difference?

Afaik i.redd.it is their image hosting domain whereas i.reddit.com was the old mobile/compact domain.

While they share very similar looking URLs these two services are different and unrelated. **i.reddit.com** is an interface, while **i.redd.it** is where you'll find Reddit-hosted image source links. Some redditors are familiar with one, some with both, some with neither. We wanted to make sure the people that use i.redd.it to grab image URLs do not conflate i.reddit the interface with links to hosted images.
