They literally just today made old reddit log-in only. I assumed that’s what the main post here is alluding to and it’s also why I’m looking at Lemmy for the first time in a year lol
might be regional, hit me in australia last week using zen browser on PC, seemed to similarly go nuts on mobile over the weekend
however, accessing new reddit with a mobile browser seemed to stop throwing the “get the app or login” overlay at around the same time as old was set to login only for me, so i can at least open random links on mobile without it freezing me out after 4 comments
Doesnt work on mobile for me. Someone else posted a link to one of the reddit scrapers, so I can at least use that for looking up random stuff which reddit is occasionally useful for
I’m pretty sure old.reddit.com still works and bypasses all of that, not sure about mobile.

you now have to log in to use old as of a few days ago
Well fuck.
Edit: Hmmm seems to still be working in an incognito window for me.

on reddit.com manually add a cookie named redesign_optout with a value of true
Edit this cookie is one addon that will let you add the cookie, I’m sure there are userscripts to do it out there too.
That’s for desktop, If your mibile browser supports addons it should work to add the cookie. Cookie editor is one such addon.
