You also cannot view it without being logged in now. Which gets a groan from everyone in chat when a friend shares a Reddit link.

I have no clue why they decided chasing off users and being less useful was somehow going to help them. Particularly when they were the place to go for huge segments of the population.

    You can still browse anonymously with red reader. Suggest getting it off f-Droid, but it's also on the play store. No iPhone version though.

    Firefox (including the one on Android) has extension called libredirect which... redirects to those privacy oriented frontends for lurking.

    I was heavily addicted to Reddit and I'm glad they allowed me gradually get off of it with the API (never installed their app) and now blocking read only access (which made me use libredirect).

    Given that content quality is also degrading I never felt urge to to use the app, now I don't log in (using the lurking portals makes it more disruptive to leave a comment, I always log in using private tab) and I suspect I eventually will stop using even that (there's only few subreddits that I am still interested in).

    You can without being logged in, but not old reddit. If you’re getting the “join the most alive place on the net” (lol) popup, ublock has optional anti-annoyance filters that fix it.

    Is that pop-up on the "new" Reddit?

    Yeeeh. There’s a “oh you gotta log in” pop up on “new” reddit now, and old reddit makes you log in. Site’s gone to shit
