As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.
Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.
Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.
Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:
||reddit.com^$header=referer:
You must log in or # to comment.
Completely unrelated question: any recommendations for a good porn feed, besides fedinsfw.app?
I could start streaming my showers? I take two a day
I’ve seen this a few times, I’ve just abandoned the thing I clicked and quickly found a different source.
Wasn’t even an inconvenience. This is a real stupid idea on Reddit’s part.
reddit is dead
Referrer, really? Disable browser wide
Is Reddit still a thing? I wasn’t aware?
I thought that it had evolved into a bot parliament.
Reddit is still a massive social media platform, it’s corporatized and bot ridden but it’s still huge.
There are whole generations of young people jumping on it only knowing it for what it is now and not what it was.
It’s still a place to “anonymously” comment on and share media.
Lemmy is still a super niche nerd platform
That’s very true, for now.
At this moment Reddit is existing on its former reputation. There are a host of like internet megalithic platforms that are now not even distant memories. Once they outlive their former utility they fade pretty quickly. Think of MySpace, Friendster and Yahoo Groups. Even Facebook is circling the plughole, but it may take a while before disappearing due to its former dominant position.
sports, music, movies, and relates sub is huge on there.
I thought that it had evolved into a bot parliament.
It did. The moderation filters that are supposed to ban people for rule breaking are automated by bots and the appeals are also ran by bots. They made it so all accounts are tied to a single, making it so if you had alts to bypass the ban, they banned those too and don’t give you any time to appeal again.
There’s also too many things you can get banned for now and because it’s all automated now, Lemmy, is the last vestige of being able to speak your mind and there’s no hive mind here.
well not as ready to use their stingers here and down votes don’t mean shit here like at least if you’re down voted here, you’re not hidden into an oblivion and your comment shadow banned.
Reddit is a hive-mind bullshit area where if you don’t agree on everything you’re attacked in a way where if you retort to what could very well be be perceived as cyber bullying, you’re banned. If you retort to anything by speaking your mind, you’re banned or blocked from the community.
It’s full of pieces of shit, even the bass guitar community, it’s all people telling other people who go there for advice to go to another forum or identifying bass guitars that google lens can figure out by model number.
i noticed something also unusual, if you post a comment on FF, or its fork it refreshes the page? seems like a bug.
What’s FF?
Probably Firefox
This news finally convinced me to make a Lemmy account so I can participate a little more instead of lurk. That, and generally how awful Reddit has been becoming for like, several years at this point, since the IPO.
I’ve swapped out RedReader on my phone’s home screen with Boost; though I think it’ll take some time to break the Reddit addiction.
I am looking forward to seeing Lemmy’s growth!
Welcome! Lemmy lives on active participation, and you made the right call. Besides, the chatter here can get lively!
Not to mention we have some Lemmywide games and activities from time to time (the most recent being the Season 4 of [email protected], the basic idea of which you may recognize from Reddit), and you’ll need an account to take part!
You’re actually joining at a good time. When i created my account it was one post every few hours haha
Ya know, I might repost some of my reddit posts here
omg no! anyway
I’m glad.
Reddit is unusable without old reddit. Reddit.com is a horrible user experience.
Redlib still works, but it’s read-only (not a problem for me, I killed my Reddit account last year), and it’s probably a matter of time before that’s killed off too.
Been gone. Fuck reddit!
Something useful: Libredirect.
Yep. I like it better than old.reddit and I only end up on reddit from search engines anymore. Its too damn bad. There was a good 6 or 7 years (for me) when reddit was pretty damn awesome; now it is a dumpster fire. The suits ruined our fun.
You can redirect any Reddit link’s to a privacy respecting frontend, this extension is for Firefox or Chromium.
Nice to see Reddit helping contribute to growth in the fediverse.
That’s what brought me here. And so far I am loving it. Wish I had made the switch long ago.
I’m on my second account, (got a new phone and couldn’t remember my password) but the nice thing is that it doesn’t affect anything because it doesn’t keep track of votes overall.
I’m not sure we want a lot of the trolls or bots here… Fortunately, I feel like they’d go to instances which lemmy world is de-federated from fortunately though.
It’s fairly obvious in a lot of the local subreddits that there are a huge amount of lobbyists (same as facebook). Like the gun/pro-vaping people posting at 2AM really stand out in them
I use safereddit.com now, it’s unfortunate I can’t access old reddit. New reddit is safer my ass
