I use Friendly social Browser on Android. It’s basically a wrapper for the mobile website and allows me to sort posts the way I want them, which is important to me. I don’t want the algorithm. I’ve used it for years. It works with quite a few different social media sites and doesn’t allow all the tracking. I have the Plus version and I’m allowed to turn off ads on both the app and Facebook and block “stories” and other silliness I don’t care for. I don’t know if the free version does all of that.
It currently works with the official mobile site. It would be great if it were more like old reddit but I just opened it for the first time and it’s miles better than using Chrome on mobile for me just because of the ad blocker and ability to keep the feed from suggesting random shit.
Companies that do this absolutely annoy me. Even Facebook doesn’t do this??
Are there third party Facebook apps?

Think something like Friendly could be put together as a wrapper around old.reddit.com? Modifies the formatting to make it mobile-friendly.
