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'm going to try hard to make Lemmy the thing I open before Reddit.

I got banned from reddit after 11+ years (not entirely sure why). Never bothered to make a new account but did use old.reddit.com. That said, my reddit use has been dropping for months.

I guess I'm forced to not use it now. LOL.

Oh well.

I got banned for writing that Ashley Babbit was a traitor and was rightfully shot for storming the US Capitol. She was a member of the US military and will fully participated in a violent unsuccessful coup that planned to kill the VP at the very least.

I got a ban for updooting a post about Luigi. Reddit mods are fascists.

Same here, this is what got me banned. Member since 08.

YouTube banned me about 11 years ago. I can say: I don't miss it.

There just isnt enough ativity to scroll.

Also I had to unblock ML for some commjnities and those guys suck

[–] Surp@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe time to do something else than scroll? Books or hiking or video games, anything!?

Woah judgey, I will just tell you you are superior if you ask. This post is still on the top of the page 15h later.

Yeah but the reddit community is more mainstream than Lemmy. Ah well, just gotta keep working at it!
