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:
||reddit.com^$header=referer:
Seems like I just got hit with it too today or yesterday, and it was being rolled out since about a month ago. Sad.
Here’s a hackernews post on it (3 days old):

Gotta love how people continue to post this lol. Fuck spez.
I assume this is some reddit thing from after I left
Why tits Garfield…?
Here’s an earlier comic that will help explain and add more questions for you.
I’m not sure what this would’ve explained. But more questions, yup.
Reddit being absolutely horrendous is what moved me to this site. I wish there was more people and more prominent communities though.
While I’ve been on Lemmy for a while, I haven’t really seen any hobby - centric or geek centric areas.
I’ll miss the movie threads in particular, but there were a ton of active crafts, art & ttrpg threads to get inspiration from. Any suggestions?
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.
Le narwhal eats bacon at midnight! An updoot for you, good sir! You are a gentleman and a scholar. That’s a heckin cute pupperino, too precious do not deserve!
EDIT: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
To make you feel as if you never left
You are missing the second edit saying that this is your top post
Completely unrelated question: any recommendations for a good porn feed, besides fedinsfw.app?
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 a ban for updooting a post about Luigi. Reddit mods are fascists.
Same here, this is what got me banned. Member since 08.
Fuck reddit.
If you need the old info download the archive. 99% of anything newer than 3 years is going to be bot slop. There’s zero reason to go to reddit intentionally.
Agree.
Most of it sure, but there are still some active subreddits with human involvement I wish would switch to Lemmy.
More libbrains incoming LMBO
