News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It begins...

Found out via this post

Interesting side-note, reddit's anti-VPN policies and blocking some archivers like ghostarchive.

They've already outlined their general plan for removing old.reddit. It was buried in the middle of an announcement post like 2 years ago. It's just a matter of time and usage at this point. This is probably a slow creep method.

It's sad to see something so much time has been dedicated to, become shit. I guess it was like building sandcastles, afterall.

you will use the web 2.0 bloated javascript filled internet and you will like it.

I saw someone call them making .old shitty a few days ago.

For what it's worth, the primary reason I joined lemmy.world, in particular, was their offering of old.lemmy.world

I'm old and stuck in my ways. I love the old-timey feel of the "old" UI in light mode with endless scrolling turned on.

It's called "Mlmym" and a lot of instances have added it. old.startrek.website works too!

That's good to know, thanks!

Dbzero disabled it recently cause it was glitching and the code isn't maintained anymore, hopefully it won't happen on LW

I thought you were joking, but nope, it's real. Neat.

they even got rid of the login button lol. having a small userscript to insert the login button as html works tho as the method/css remains.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

So... being able to use the site at all then?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

tbh if you need to see a reddit post use a frontend like redlib it doesn't have signing in with a reddit account but atleast you can browse a post without tracking

They have already been trying to bully old.reddit users for quite some time by forcing a regular cookie acceptance prompt which automatically changes the settings to new reddit.

Ikr? How annoying is that?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Reminds me every time why this platform is crap

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

I'm very disappointed about the removal of r/randnsfw.
