Lol yeah. But mainly you still have all your subscribed subreddits, multireddits and all that. Going from the front page of an account you’ve built up over many years to the latest default reddit can be a bit of a shock.
Like I say though, the more annoying thing is the way it’s supposed to be a passive reddit experience, but all the buttons for voting and replying are still there. Yet, if you click them you get a pop up reminding you, and you can’t scroll again until you dismiss it. They should just remove the buttons.
IMO those are the least important aspects of an account. It takes very little time to resub to a list of subs you have right in front of you and turn them into a new multi. Overall the way bigger issue here is: everyone get the fuck off Reddit it’s fucking trash.

Depends how many subreddits. There are maybe tools around to make it a little easier, but you have to find them and dig them out of github.

Yes to reddit being trash, but I wouldn’t be so exclusive. Sometimes you need to dig through the trash. Just be sure to remember that it’s trash, and wash yourself afterwards.
I can’t fathom going back to being a user there, it’s just too abusive and such a bad experience, but I’ll use old threads that come up on Google for their information, sure.
It’s very easy to fall into the habit of reading a conversation and wanting to chime in. But yeah, the nature of the conversation on reddit has definitely changed over the years. The irony is that this is probably somewhat astroturfed to “increase user engagement”, when it is ultimately driving users away.
LMFAO.
“Your account still works”
lists all the many many ways your account no longer works
