It may just be me, but old.reddit.com is finally gone. And, at last, I am free

It looks like old.reddit.com still works but requires logging in. Not having to log in was a huge feature for old.reddit.com. Sucks to see it go, but it was inevitable.

You have to be logged in and, if I understand correctly, if you don't log in to old.reddit for six months (retroactive) they take it away.

My understanding (just from chatting with Gemini) is you just need to visit reddit (logged in) within the past 6 mos and don't have to log out/in again or anything like that.
So basically, I probably have a bunch of accounts from years ago; suspect that all but my current one no longer work with old reddit.
Biggest annoyance for me would be on mobile where i wouldn't log in.

Well - today it started defaulting to new reddit. Somehow this was checked:
>Use new Reddit as my default experience (by enabling this, you will be redirected to the new site when you go to any supported https://reddit.com page)
Undid that and it fixed it for me.

they eventually want to get rid of old reddit while logged in, and force users to use the new ugly UI that is basically like facebook.

it looks like a lot of the functionality of old reddit for seeing not-ad-decided sort orders is going away, so the whole old reddit will probably be gone by the end of the year

Still working for me. You might have to be logged in, though.

safereddit.com also broken
eddrit.com also broken
but r.naa.gg still works! (not for long though, probably, since Reddit admins read HN)

Try using https://github.com/mkornreich/old_reddit to make it look like old Reddit

it was working when at night, and stopped working for all browser forks as well this morning. currently using redlib on a desktop, so i dont have to use the ugly UI. they already started restricted it when they made the comments mysteriously load forever. and now its only available if you are logged in.
i have to use sinkit extension to remove the ugly sidebar feed on new reddit.

Happened to me too. Going to Settings -> Preferences, turning on "Use new Reddit as my default experience", and then turning it back off fixed it.

Stop using websites that don't respect their users

If everyone listened, it'd already be a solved problem. But Reddit has the nasty side effect of drying up most other forum driven communities, and Discord did the coup de grâce on the rest.

You can’t thoroughly enshittify when users still have recourse. That hole has been plugged now. It was only a question of time.

For me the extension has stopped working around 2 hours ago and page loads new interface

Yup... stopped working, so I can't browser reddit anymore anywhere where I'm not logged in (work, phone, tablet).
krazingans12346a day ago
it doesnt work anymore while logged out, since this morning. reddit is forcing people to log in to use it now. they want to datamine people more, since the fiasco 2 months ago where they were forcing that login popup.
