I was trying to browse the site, and I think it might be faced with a few problems.

    It doesn’t really work any more. Any post with an image will just show you the image when you try to open the post, and there is a little button at the bottom that says “view post”. If you click that button it tries to install the app. If you don’t let it install the app then it takes you to the new site. Ugh, I can’t even. I hate them so much!

      This gave me hope that it would actually just be the image, not wrapped in reddit’s viewer UI bullshit, in a sort of “task failed successfully” way. But no, you still get their nonsense wrapped around it. Why would anyone want to just look at an image when that’s what they click on.

        Are you on desktop?

        Edit: I just saw someone else commented and said old was broken today too. So maybe it has changed since I looked at it.

          Nope - I tested on mobile (iOS/ Safari)

          Just so be clear, I was commenting that I haven’t had the issue you mentioned with image posts on old.reddit.com outside of today’s outage(s)
