Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn’t even show the full post. There are 3 of those “trending” boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description
I originally became addicted to Reddit because of how streamlined it was to skim dozens of headlines and pick from lots of content, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide anymore :/
It seems they recently fucked up something with i.redd.it handling - opening image links from old reddit always redirects to https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/media/nice_hat/ for a few days now.
No that’s intentional. They no longer allow direct i.redd.it image linking, it forces a redirect to a landing page that is either old.reddit if you’re logged in and force it, or new reddit with a “get the app, doofus” nag screen for anyone not logged in.
They didn’t want anyone using Reddit as an image hosting service or - God forbid! - viewing Reddit content without delivering every ounce of their personal data and ad revenue to Spez.
It’s ironic because i.reddit links work perfectly fine to repost content on Lemmy
Well it hasn’t worked for inline embeds for me for a hot minute. You can still browse to it of course, but now you have to open a new tab and deal with the “GET APP!!!” pop-ups every 3 seconds.
