I edit the URL to remove the first part of the URL and replace it with “http://old.reddit.com”. That still seems to work, last I checked, but I fully expect it to be killed any day now.
There’s a firefox extension “old reddit redirect” that’ll do this for you. Been using it for years. But yeah any day now I expect old reddit to be offline.
I don’t, I’m convinced it’s a “if you raise the price of the hotdog, I will kill you” kind of deal (as in, some of the devs still use the old UI for themselves)
That’s different, they didn’t remove the apis that enable mobile apps, they just made them unreasonably expensive. But you can theoretically still use them
Every time I click a Reddit link now it’s just “download the app to verify your age” regardless of what it is
I feel your pain.

I mean, I would’ve said the same about the mobile apps, but here we are.

in practical terms the apps were killed anyway though
btw i think fatbird still is free and works on mobile (if you need an app)
