Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.

    Umm. I just tried old.reddit on a “gonewild” subreddit with no login even, and it was fine. Now I’m sure they’ll patch it out. But, seems to be an easy workaround as of right now.

      Pretty sure .compact also still works.

      Slap .compact after a URL and you’ll see a mobile version of reddit from like 2006.

      edit: THEY REMOVED IT! D: RIP .compact - I’ve visited you about 5 times, ever.

      I don’t think it’s been fully rolled out to everyone yet, as they don’t have to start enforcing it until a later date.

        Yeah I wonder if they’re A/B testing on some accounts and old.reddit is generally the last to feel changes.

          if you can bypass the id check on old.reddit, DO NOT TELL THEM

          nsfw already requires an account on new.reddit and the app, but old.reddit just has a button that says “I agree I’m over 18” and then you can view without an account. So I’m hopeful that the old.reddit loophole will remain open here too

          Yeah I think that’s what they’ll be doing, seeing what the impact is to usage and also iron out any kinks before it gets rolled out to everyone.
