Reddit signals ominous upcoming "changes” for old.reddit.com
arstechnica.com
Reddit says the beloved site is used for some "bad behavior."

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:

          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

        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.

        Local communities are lacking. We don’t have the critical mass for that.

        More diversity, but since we’re commenting under a new user’s comment, that may be correcting itself.
