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:

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

Nice to see Reddit helping contribute to growth in the fediverse.

    That's what brought me here. And so far I am loving it. Wish I had made the switch long ago.

    I'm on my second account, (got a new phone and couldn't remember my password) but the nice thing is that it doesn't affect anything because it doesn't keep track of votes overall.

    I'm not sure we want a lot of the trolls or bots here.. Fortunately, I feel like they'd go to instances which lemmy world is de-federated from fortunately though.

    It's fairly obvious in a lot of the local subreddits that there are a huge amount of lobbyists (same as facebook). Like the gun/pro-vaping people posting at 2AM really stand out in them
