View submission: Changelog: New ways to find communities, mod updates, and more
The loss of i.reddit.com/.compact is awful news. i.reddit.com was an excellent method to browse Reddit on a poor/low-data mobile connection, and it never redirected you non-stop to install a mobile application. I don't see any reason to use my mobile phone to browse Reddit -- an easy way to reduce my use of the platform as well.
(i.reddit.com/.compact was also one of the few [if not only] interfaces of Reddit that didn't display in-line advertisements, so it was only a matter of time before they got rid of it.)
