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:

    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.

        Same. I have 1 or 2 subreddits I check for info/advice that I wish would just migrate over here. It just isn’t worth opening the reddit app and dealing with the worst of humanity being pushed on me anymore.

      Is there an easy way of doing that? As in is there an archive specifically for reddit or do you mean on one of the internet archive websites?
