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:

I discovered Lemmy last week. Lurked for a while, then finally created an account. The experience is much better than Reddit so I say good riddance.

Did the switch as well and feel the same. Welcome and Cheers!

Celeb Jeopardy responsible for at least threeve lulz

My oh my immaculate Wiki entry (spoilers if someone hasn’t seen, funnier after watching!)

So many funny Celebrity Jeopardy episodes, some one made a you tube playlist of some of the funnier ones. Great way to kill an hour 😂

Some tips:

  • We do have some trolls, we're getting more popular. If you feel like someone is picking on you, those are them.
  • Active is the default, but can seem less active because the active posts stay up longer. I made my default Hot, but then I check Active and Top 6 Hours.
  • You're probably going to go through a withdrawel. It varies by person, but mine took about a week or two.

Welcome.

Yay! Welcome! I'm pretty new too and I find the quality of conversation much higher over here.

[–] PenguinVII@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Same! I'm new here as well. I've had better interactions over two days on here than I've had on reddit over half a year.
