Very annoying, there's a lot of tech support stuff on reddit that I now can't access without logging in. Guess I'll need to make a burner for work.
No need for a burner reddit account. If your job allows you to install the Firefox browser, you can install libRedirect on your own. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/
How long is that going to work when everything needs an account on reddit?
libRedirect redirects to a privacy frontend like Redlib which scrapes from Reddit, allowing you to anonymously browse it.
EDIT: it'll work as long as reddit doesn't get like youtube, with its war against privacy frontends.
Have you read my comment?
Yes. and I just added an extra to my own. So read that answer.
What else do you think this is about lol
I have libredirect, but none of the instances seem to support old.reddit.com.
WDYM? The instances have their own frontend, they just source the content from Reddit
Yeah I realize I was completely wrong about how they work, my bad. What I suppose I mean is that all the instances I tried either looked too much like the new layout (I think they might've all been redlib) or were just dead. Are there any that look more like the old interface?
ah, well that IDK. Sorry
