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:

Edit: Best bet now is to use a proxy like safereddit.com.

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.
Yeah it just hit me. I deleted all my accounts over a year ago and just look around on there. I guess no more looking.
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):

Hm. Thanks, I’ll be using this and other instances for historical/other important posts that are only on Reddit for now.
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’ve been struggling to find a movie thread replacement. Seems like all the movie communities are dead. Any recommendations?
What do u mean? Just search for movies and television communities - piefed has largest
“Has the largest” meaning a 3 comment average per thread. That’s what the OC is talking about. The communities in Lemmy World are really small in a way that makes it hard to hold together a sub. A new movie comes out and maybe one or two people talk about it on Lemmy while Reddit has hundreds.
Then you might say, be the change you want to see, but Lemmy has a pretty small install base. Even if you participate, there isn’t anyone to follow, because the users here are usually white collar tech folk. Hence the interest groups being tech and politics.
It’s quality comments though. I just went to old.red to see if it worked for me. It did, but the comments were very shallow. I’m guessing bots? It’s hard to say. After being here for years, it was a shock.
It’s two things. Bots, yes, but also the communities have gotten really lazy. Shit was fire during peak culture war because people were actively trying to learn. Now it’s like everyone gave up.
Reddit thinks they’re an exclusivity club nowadays. Love that mentality for them, just a platform full of bots, misinformation purposed for political polarization.
They wouldn’t even let me delete my account last week, “errors occured” so I just uninstalled. Good riddance.
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.
Welcome to Lemmy for the last reddit users, that used old.reddit, looks like we are complete now. The rest of reddit are noobs and bots.
I came here three years ago when they killed the API and Reddit is Fun on mobile. I refuse to use their mobile site but still used their desktop. If they kill old.reddit I guess I’m done then.
I’m sick of reddit. I’ve been banned three times for calling out Nazis. Nazis don’t get banned though
Same. I said “fuck republicans” and got ‘permanently suspended’… which is just the dumbest thing in itself
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.
Reddit:
I could excuse account locking for “own safety”, but removing the 10+ old acount posts due to an automated filters was it for me. First it was one and in a few days all the posts were filtered out! Not fine. Reddit sucks.
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
Yay! Welcome! I’m pretty new too and I find the quality of conversation much higher over here.
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.
Welcome!
Ya know, I might repost some of my reddit posts here
