Safari asks to open an app and it takes me to App Store

I want safari to just open the app. For instance Reddit. It asks to open the app then takes me to App Store or it will take me to reddit but to the front page and not search results.

Thanks for the reply but not having the app is something that would make more sense.

The link I clicked on was a Reddit post. I was on my iPad. Latest software. When I clicked I got the post in Safari, below I had a choice to view in Chrome (makes no sense since I’m using safari) or go to Reddit. Up top it asks if I want to use the Reddit app. If I view as a web page it’s fine. I choose Reddit then it takes me to the store, if I choose to open in Reddit app it will open the app on the front page so I would then have to search again within the app.
