old.reddit works fine~
I will be shocked if that works forever. Maybe it'll be five, maybe it'll be ten years, but I bet they will kill that eventually.
This also worked for me for the longest time. I recently stopped using Reddit (as we all should) but if you gotta use it at least use old.reddit.com/r/subredditname
The second old.reddit goes away, I have a feeling a lot of people will jump off reddit. Probably why they haven't killed it yet
They know they can't kill old.reddit directly yet thats why theyre pushing all of these new features like removing mail for live chat etc.
I am curious, do you know why they can't kill it? The only reason I can think of is that "new" reddit requires access or something?
