Nowhere Else To Share

This happened to me recently as well, but I'm using this opportunity to finally get rid of my reddit addiction.

I don't want to create an account. I don't want to use new reddit. It gives way too many location dependent results, and the UI has me scrolling way too much to find the same amount of content as old reddit.

Something fun I found out recently though, is that apparently their new UI is so shitty you can be on a blocked page (due to potential NSFW content) and just remove two overlays and the CSS class that prevents scrolling the main body and... just have at it. Look at all the naughty things you like! This is the kind of thing that could be automated really easily with a browser extension. Protect the kids, except when it takes effort to actually write a proper backend, amirite?

They are very cunning. They do it in waves. Unlike yootoob, which makes it atrocious design experiments unexpectedly and forces it on everyone at once, and sometimes they go back (maybe too many problem reports, and such). Reeddoot, instead just does it in waves: first small portion of users, then they wait, until initial screams are dismissed as 'a few users got affected, must be a random glitch/bug'. After it is calm again, then the next part of users is affected. same thing happens. And they use this tactic until majority are affected, and last resisters are already seen as 'technophobes', 'special snowflakes', 'grampas', 'exotic OS users', etc They boil users slowly. Mark my words - reeddoot will come to phone numbers being obligatory, then IDs being obligatory, then giving away your info to Law authorities, then to secret services, finally might end up with just selling it to any criminal clan.

This was inevitable when they killed the apps API. That's why I stopped using reddit after that.

I haven't had a reddit account in years but obviously reddit comes up as a relevant search result often. I use the URL Replace extension in Firefox to rewrite any www urls to old. This is still working for me this morning (without login). Maybe they're rolling it out slowly?

I am in India and honestly the Indian feed is just horrible filled with fandom wars, iam13andthisisdeep, offensive questions and opinions about sexuality/dating, rehashed relationship questions, toxic celebrity news and the nail in the coffin is political agendas directing narratives.

As much as i love the art, the culture and the developments of my country, the reddit community of india is just immoral, no manners reactive posts.

No body wants to have a discussion, they want to post their thought as a text post and skip the conversation.

Reddit community leaders, at least the good ones, are sorely missed. Good riddance to this app. It will die just as facebook.

Use redlib.catsarch.com, You can replace the url like with xcancel.

They really want to turn it off don't they? I don't know why they just don't instead of going through this first.

Shitty site owned by greedy assholes, administered by douchebags, moderated by capricious basement dwellers, and overrun with bots and mouth breathers.

It still works using Tor Browser with Javascript disabled, which is the most private way to browse it anyways.

Let it burn! 🔥🔥🔥

the +Sub in url still work:

The limit seems to be at 20 subs added, or dependant of the size of sub (the list above are some of the most followed sub); you can have more if they are less followed it seems like this:

Try Tor browser. Here is the link to old reddit https://www.reddittorjg6rue252oqsxryoxengawnmo46qy4kyii5wtqnwfj4ooad.onion/domain/old.reddit.com/

In addition to this, since yesterday old.reddit needs a log in, since this evening the standard reddit also nags (via pop up) for an account when I open a thread via google.

Not a reddit user, can someone explain old reddit? I thought it was just the same content with an older style

Same here (Netherlands) since yesterday.

Yup i nuked my reddit account just before

I can access the old look if I search by domain (i.e. reddit.com/domain/youtu.be) but subreddits and r/popular are all in the new style.

It’s available for logged in users only since like a month ago or so. During one of the Mod Councils Spez promised they’d never get rid of it as long as someone’s using it, so they’ll just increase friction to access it more and more.
