The sooner they get rid of it, the sooner I'll stop using reddit and finally be free...

For days, even after login, neither the automatic redirect, nor the 'click this link' page redirects properly if it all. Clicking it multiple times, sometimes works. The login also seems to expire quite frequently. So it's even worse than stated.

As a quick reminder:
First there was Reddit, which had an API, a mobile version (i.reddit.com) and a desktop one.
Then there was the redesign, after which there was new reddit, old reddit (old.reddit.com), and mobile reddit.
Then they removed mobile reddit.
Then they restricted the API.
Then they made old reddit available for logged-in users only, which they are now restricting even more.
It's obvious that they're slowly boiling the frog until there's only one bloated interface left.

I Selfhost redlib. Throw behind Tailscale and force redirect to it when hitting Reddit links. No issues

I can't believe that some people value their time so little that they moderate reddit in the mid 2020s.
That do it for free

It has been a godsend. The new design is bad in all the ways that most modern designs are bad: lots of needless padding, ads everywhere, poor information density. After they effectively killed third party apps, old.reddit.com has been the last bastion of a design intended for power users.

I'll say it again, the day they block me from old.reddit.com, is the day I leave the site permanently.

I've already made this migration after they started requiring a login. It's been pleasant.

Why are you still there? Even if you are the 1% still on Old Reddit, you are looking a site created by the 99% on the app (or New Reddit). And that's why it has become a wasteland of image posts and inane 180-character quips. Conversation has declined even on more serious subs because the new interfaces hide most comments from uses by default.

Use redlib. It's crazy how much better the interface is than both old and new reddit.

Greedy fucks. I've hated them ever since they took RIF away from me.

I had a 2005 (launch year) Reddit account. I deleted it when the API shenanigans happened and haven’t looked back. I have my browsers all set up to redirect Reddit.com to a Redlib instance. I will never visit or participate in the site again.
My biggest regret is that I didn’t anonymize & overwrite all my comments, so AI fuckery has access to them forever.
