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 being absolutely horrendous is what moved me to this site. I wish there was more people and more prominent communities though.
Reddit has some cool communities that don’t quite exist elsewhere, and even though I’ve found old-school forums for some of them, the vibe is different (usually older people who are often retired and can’t envision not having money or free time).
I used to pay a sub to Reddit but stopped back when they shafted Apollo. I wonder how things might have gone had Reddit focused on its community rather than the sad process of enshitificafion.
Good. I knew reddit was going down the tubes when they stopped API access to 3rd parties.
Let it burn down.
I’m so happy they started doing this. They made me want to really start switching to Lemmy
Happened weeks ago for me. I begrudgingly made a throwaway account with a throwaway email.
Then they slapped me with age verification as well.
Fuck 'em.
They probably are tightening down to try and slow AI scraper bots.
Either way, I’ve mostly given up Reddit for Lemmy anyway. I looked the other day and realized I haven’t even commented on Reddit in 4 months.
Which is why I’m reading this here and not on Reddit
ENJOYING THIS REDDIT DOWNFALL? CONTINUE ON THE APP! Or else…
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!
Welcome ‘ere Bucky!
Thanks 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 😂
Welcome!
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.
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.
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!

You suggest that there is only anime porn and Linux here, and yet, you are here. So either you loathe yourself, adore Linux and anime porn, or adore those things AND loathe yourself. I don’t think you’re in a position to be snarky, kiddo.

I see similar comments every now and then. What exactly is missing here for you? There’s a community for almost anything except some niche topics
Local communities are lacking. We don’t have the critical mass for that.
Niche topics was all I ever used Reddit for, so in my case, Lemmy just doesn’t replace Reddit at all. None of the subreddits I follow have an active equivalent Lemmy community. They go from a few posts a day and dozens of comments on Reddit to “last post: 3 years ago” on Lemmy.
More diversity, but since we’re commenting under a new user’s comment, that may be correcting itself.

Hey there are some people here that are not into those things, we just got banned from that shit hole and refuse to give them my eye for their ads any longer.
I found something interesting when I check a few hours ago. I was logged out to set the stage. I goto the main page it works. I use the search bar to find a sub and it works. But all the links on that subs page to related subs direct you to the “You have to log in”
So I was like, hmm what if I type one of these links into the search bar and see if I can get the link that way? It worked I could access the link that previous required a log in
I’m sure they will close that loophole and reddit will continue its decline…
I’m sick of reddit. I’ve been banned three times for calling out Nazis. Nazis don’t get banned though

Fuck ‘em. We’re here anyway
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.
Wow, Garfield has some rockin’ knockers. No wonder Jon never married.
I’m not sure what this would’ve explained. But more questions, yup.
The real question: why not tits Garfield?

Not only fuck. I hope for the worse to him.
I have faith he flips his bicycle and knocks out his front teeth, which still won’t be enough.
Lol. Like wtf even. I love it!
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?
