A friend sent me the link but I guess I’ll have to tell him to send me screenshots in the future.
old.reddit still lets me view it. For now…
Reddit has become full garbage.
To be fair, its been shit for a real long time.
We all just put up with it far longer than we should have.
Yeah. From when I first joined reddit to until I left, I’ve never ever seen the video player actually fucking working. It’s like a McDonalds ice cream machine, always broken.
Does old.reddit.com not resolve anymore?
I just use load desktop site on Firefox mobile and it’s fine.
old.reddit.com works just fine. Logging in to view NSFW content is not required.
For mobile I finally ended up patching Sync, primarily for more comfortably browsing when it comes up in search results, but I did notice it enabled nsfw as well.
It’s a data harvesting company now.
Like Facebook making you get messenger. No thanks
That was the start of my end of using Facebook for sure
For the moment you can replace the ‘www’ in the page link to ‘old’ and reload. the old ui doesn’t show these annoying warnings. You can also try some libreddit instance.
If you change the URL to old.reddit.com you can get past this BS and view the post anyway even without logging in. You just have to use the old version of the site which has a lot less of the stupid stuff they’ve added.
This is the way.
There’s also browser extensions like “old reddit redirect”. They ensure you’re always on the good version of reddit.
Or Reddit Enhancement Suite
It’s probably best to not recommend RES anymore it’s been in maintenance mode for around 2 years and is no longer being maintained. Honestly I’m amazed it has been become broken and unusable yet.
For people on iOS there’s a shortcut that will redirect you. I think this is the one I used https://routinehub.co/shortcut/10086/
There’s also the Sink For Reddit app where you can toggle old and new reddit. It also adds a bunch of features to make your experience on safari better.
For lurking without the need for an account I use this https://feddit.de/post/7289677 app on android
Or use Rdx
old.reddit will be killed off before the ipo in March
mark my words
Spez explicitly promised they wouldn’t get rid of old reddit.
Which I took to mean they intend to ruin it by cramming all the shitty new features into it and taking away the things it does better.
Edit: I don’t trust spez lmao I just think what he said might be a hint for how they will fuck reddit up going forward
lololol wouldn’t be the first time by far he’s broken an explicit promise
“let us track you to view this post”
I can highly recommend rdx for browsing reddit without an account
This really irks me, because it applies to subs related to weed or other non-sexual content, including some games. I’ve also been hit with the same prompt to open the official app for subreddits that are “under review” or new.
I only go to reddit from search engine queries to get answers for a topic.
I just posted on reddit for the first time since the API disaster to get support for the watchmaker app (that is the dev’s official source for support).
I noticed a weird glitch happening to me (mobile site on Firefox) in which if I edit a comment, it loses all formatting. Like, every space between ‘paragraphs’ dissappears, and so did the block quotes. It just put “>” in with the jumbled up mess…
