As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.
Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.
Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.
Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

Reddit being absolutely horrendous is what moved me to this site. I wish there was more people and more prominent communities though.
I discovered Lemmy last week. Lurked for a while, then finally created an account. The experience is much better than Reddit so I say good riddance.
Did the switch as well and feel the same. Welcome and Cheers!
Welcome ‘ere Bucky!
Thanks and Cheers!
Celeb Jeopardy responsible for at least threeve lulz
My oh my immaculate Wiki entry (spoilers if someone hasn’t seen, funnier after watching!)
So many funny Celebrity Jeopardy episodes, some one made a you tube playlist of some of the funnier ones. Great way to kill an hour 😂
Welcome!
Yay! Welcome! I’m pretty new too and I find the quality of conversation much higher over here.
Same! I’m new here as well. I’ve had better interactions over two days on here than I’ve had on reddit over half a year.
Le narwhal eats bacon at midnight! An updoot for you, good sir! You are a gentleman and a scholar. That’s a heckin cute pupperino, too precious do not deserve!
EDIT: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

You are missing the second edit saying that this is your top post
MAh iNbLocKs R bLoWin uP!
I guess we have to make that post their top post now
And my axe!
Tips fedora
Here’s the thing…
Some tips:
- We do have some trolls, we’re getting more popular. If you feel like someone is picking on you, those are them.
- Active is the default, but can seem less active because the active posts stay up longer. I made my default Hot, but then I check Active and Top 6 Hours.
- You’re probably going to go through a withdrawel. It varies by person, but mine took about a week or two.
Welcome.
Welcome to the place where real people actually say real shit!

You suggest that there is only anime porn and Linux here, and yet, you are here. So either you loathe yourself, adore Linux and anime porn, or adore those things AND loathe yourself. I don’t think you’re in a position to be snarky, kiddo.

I see similar comments every now and then. What exactly is missing here for you? There’s a community for almost anything except some niche topics
Local communities are lacking. We don’t have the critical mass for that.
Niche topics was all I ever used Reddit for, so in my case, Lemmy just doesn’t replace Reddit at all. None of the subreddits I follow have an active equivalent Lemmy community. They go from a few posts a day and dozens of comments on Reddit to “last post: 3 years ago” on Lemmy.
More diversity, but since we’re commenting under a new user’s comment, that may be correcting itself.

Hey there are some people here that are not into those things, we just got banned from that shit hole and refuse to give them my eye for their ads any longer.
Reddit has some cool communities that don’t quite exist elsewhere, and even though I’ve found old-school forums for some of them, the vibe is different (usually older people who are often retired and can’t envision not having money or free time).
I used to pay a sub to Reddit but stopped back when they shafted Apollo. I wonder how things might have gone had Reddit focused on its community rather than the sad process of enshitificafion.
I’m so happy they started doing this. They made me want to really start switching to Lemmy
Gotta love how people continue to post this lol. Fuck spez.

I assume this is some reddit thing from after I left
Why tits Garfield…?
Here’s an earlier comic that will help explain and add more questions for you.
I’m not sure what this would’ve explained. But more questions, yup.
Wow, Garfield has some rockin’ knockers. No wonder Jon never married.
The real question: why not tits Garfield?
Not only fuck. I hope for the worse to him.
I have faith he flips his bicycle and knocks out his front teeth, which still won’t be enough.
Lol. Like wtf even. I love it!
Which is why I’m reading this here and not on Reddit
ENJOYING THIS REDDIT DOWNFALL? CONTINUE ON THE APP! Or else…
I’m sick of reddit. I’ve been banned three times for calling out Nazis. Nazis don’t get banned though
Good. I knew reddit was going down the tubes when they stopped API access to 3rd parties.
Let it burn down.
This news finally convinced me to make a Lemmy account so I can participate a little more instead of lurk. That, and generally how awful Reddit has been becoming for like, several years at this point, since the IPO.
I’ve swapped out RedReader on my phone’s home screen with Boost; though I think it’ll take some time to break the Reddit addiction.
I am looking forward to seeing Lemmy’s growth!
I was addicted to reddit. They killed the Reddit is Fun app that I used every day for 10 years, so I had to switch to Lemmy. It was the best thing that happened to me. It took me a few days to stop missing reddit but I am so much happier with Lemmy and never want to go back there again.
You’re actually joining at a good time. When i created my account it was one post every few hours haha
Yeah, it’s quite active now, how exciting! I started browsing it just like I did RedReader last night and it didn’t feel like I was missing out on news or conservations. Also I like the Boost UI in some ways more than RedReader’s, so I’m sure that’s helping make the transition easier lol. Reddit really shot itself in the foot destroying all the popular 3rd party apps, reddit is fun was my beloved. RedReader is nice to have still available, but it honestly doesn’t hold a candle to rif’s nice UI/UX. Boost being basically on par with rif for me is making letting go of reddit all the more easier.
I created a new account a year ago to lurk instead of comment, but you’re right, participation = growth. I’ll be joining in again.
Welcome! Lemmy lives on active participation, and you made the right call. Besides, the chatter here can get lively!
Not to mention we have some Lemmywide games and activities from time to time (the most recent being the Season 4 of !thebutton@lemmy.zip, the basic idea of which you may recognize from Reddit), and you’ll need an account to take part!
Reddit is unusable without old reddit. Reddit.com is a horrible user experience.
Was only a matter of time before they out-digg’d digg.
Redlib still works, but it’s read-only (not a problem for me, I killed my Reddit account last year), and it’s probably a matter of time before that’s killed off too.
Fuck ‘em. We’re here anyway
While I’ve been on Lemmy for a while, I haven’t really seen any hobby - centric or geek centric areas.
I’ll miss the movie threads in particular, but there were a ton of active crafts, art & ttrpg threads to get inspiration from. Any suggestions?

Yep loved old.reddit but nope, no more. Happy to be a Lemmyor now 😀 or whats the correct term? Lol. Cheers!
We’re lemmings. There’s a smooth way to say it.
Ha! Love it! Smooth indeed. Cheers!
Clearly BuckFutter wants to be LemMayor of the joint after hanging around for two days
Ha fair enough, I’ll go back to my hole now. Just happy to find a place that reminds of what reddit used to be like back in the 2010’s. Cheers!
The spirit of /u/RimjobSteve lives on, even as reddit perishes.
PieFedoras.
we’re the feds lol
Definitely federated
Brilliant!
I just call us Fedi. Like its all in compassing. IDK.
We are certainly something 😆
Lol I love it. So something akin to putting the fun in dysfunction? Lol
ha yeah!
Sweet. My kind of people 🤠 Cheers!
Welcome. If you ever miss the old reddit UI, check out https://old.lemmy.world/
Awesome and thank you. Yah I loved that UI and would love to enable it on my instance. Any idea on where to get the theme files for it? Thanks!
If you allow me to do a bit of self-promotion: https://code.mschae23.de/mschae23/mlmym (this is my fork of the software running on old.lemmy.world).
It’s a different frontend rather than just a theme, so it needs to be set up separately (similar to lemmy-ui). If you have any questions, feel free to ask me :)
Well that is really cool. Thank you for sharing and maintaining a cool looking interface. 😎 cheers!
