They’ll justify fucking anything with “sAfEtY” these days

This is gonna make using old.reddit auto redirect addons much more annoying

    If you browse without an account I highly recommend an alternative frontend like redlib. I deleted my main account as soon as I set up my own instance and it’s such a better experience.

        You can use redlib instance to browse reddit without an account https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/mildlyinfuriating

        or if a specific instances breaks you can use something dynamic like https://farside.link/reddit.com/r/whatever to find one that’s up

        But its new reddit format, there were services like teddit that used a layout more similar to old.reddit but every instance I know of it as been shut down, the code still exists so if you have the means and ability to host your own instance you can https://github.com/teddit-net/teddit but I know than can seem daunting if you haven’t done something like that before, but you could probably find a friendly user with some time on their hands to walk you through it, or maybe try a lying machine to lay out the process in simple understandable steps

        or did you mean how does it work on a technical level?

          Throwing it out there that on mobile, apps like Infinity+ let you browse, subscribe, etc without an account. There’s probably others. I think I pirated an apk of this one specifically because it’s what I used for years before the API stuff.
