Reddit now won't let non-logged in users see subreddits until they've been "reviewed"
Reddit now won't let non-logged in users see subreddits until they've been "reviewed"
This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.
Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it's only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.
You're viewing a single thread.
For now old.reddit still works.
Honestly I'm amazed. Old Reddit is still functionally unchanged over the past several years and honestly a great experience. And Reddit must know exactly how many people are using it because they're visiting an alternate domain.
Can't imagine it has much longer...
It’s the only way Reddit is even usable since they removed the third party apps.
You can use it on mobile by using Firefox Nightly, enabling the add-ons collection workaround, and installing the old.reddit redirect addon (and uBlock).
Granted, browsing old.reddit on a mobile screen is not a great experience but it's leagues better than the alternative.
At that point I'm more comfortable on Lemmy instead of bending over backwards to accommodate for shitty Reddit UI anymore. I used to use old reddit but that was when I actually had time to waste in highschool pretending to do work on the school computers, now I have a newborn and would never scroll on my PC to just browse Reddit, or any social media for that matter..
Weeks maybe a month before old reddit goes away. Reddit has to as it loses them advertising money and those that use it are those Reddit dislike.
It's only a great experience for some. The vast majority of people, attention, eyeballs, and money go to things like tiktok and Instagram.
