I know most of you want to answer IGNORE REDDIT!!, WE ARE SO MUCH BETTER!!, USE ONLY THE FEDIVERSE!! which I do, but there are several problems with it:
the fediverse sometimes looks like a cult, only a marxist one: China and Russia are good, there are concentration camps in Ukraine, Ukraine belongs to Russia, like Taiwan belongs to China, Israel is a genocidal state, China is so much better than the US…
Some mods on lemmy show the same level of intolerance as some mods on reddit.
I stopped using reddit years ago but I still lurked because some communities there, mostly the non ideological ones, don’t have an alternative: on lemmy there are so many subs with absolutely no content, or one post written 4 years ago, 20 users and 1 visitor per month. That’s not an active community.
reddit won’t stop its enshittification but for the time being there is no alternative for the communities I’m interested in, mostly non ideological ones about medicine, nursing, philosophy, religion, dementia, autism, biology…
And I’m not looking for communities were medicine, biology or dementia are used as an excuse to rant against the current POTUS or to introduce me to the greatness of communism, I really only care about the topics I mentioned.
For some websites that require a log in I use archive.ph but I don’t see how this would work with reddit.
Any ideas? I’m not creating an account with reddit.
Old reddit still working fine here with no login. Try Firefox and Ublock origin if you haven’t already.
They’re rolling it out piecemeal. For a while after people started reporting that they now needed a login, I was still able to get to both.
Now there’s no way around it for me.
It’ll happen to you, @[email protected], and everyone else eventually.
And no combination of Incognito, uBlockOrigin or noScript cancelling or deleting elements will grant me access.
However, I do notice that they have an “e-mail me a one time link” option, and I haven’t tested if they block temporary e-mail services, so if you’re really desperate, maybe that will work.
Although I recommend not bothering with Reddit any more. Let it die.
Same here, both old.reddit.com and the new layout (i.e. just reddit.com) work fine for me without a login. All I have to do is dismiss the little flyout that asks if I want to login using google.
Even in Chrome. Even without Ublock origin. Even from the USA, without a VPN.
Ready for the incredibly complex fully elite hack? CAN YOU HANDLE IT?! DO YOU HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY?
Private browsing/incognito mode.
ETA: With the large variety of responses in this thread, I’m really curious if this works for other people or if I’m just super lucky.
