Not the first time, they seem to do that like once a year in my experience.
On my (Android) device, the recent blocking is already gone again, having lasted about two weeks.
It is a common strategy: first fix them on, then make life inconvenient for them to push for the next stage (be it app installation, more screen time or paying for stuff).
Seems like Reddit has moved on to the next "fixing on" stage again.
Every time they make a change, users shift/leave. I now use Chrome instead of the app. Once they block it on chrome to force people back to their enshittified app, then I just won’t use it anymore.
it works on firefox. but reddit on the browser with ironfox fork, it does something wierd, everytime you backspace out of a thread, sub it automatically refreshes the page and puts you at the top of the feed.
