You've reached the end!
Feels like a moment
edit: https://safereddit.com/ is an instance of https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
One of the best things about old.reddit.com was that it didn't need JS. Now we need someone to make a safesafereddit.com that just lets people see reddit posts without JS enabled
Reddit will require you to log in to use old.reddit.com

Edit: I still am a strong believer in anonymous usage of the internet. Increasingly it feels like we've become an endangered species.

I don't participate in Reddit conversions and only use old.reddit.com to browse some specific subreddits as a guest.
The new reddit site only serves me the OP of a thread (Probably my fault, my configuration I have blocked a couple of intrusive PII gathering services disguised as APIS and a bunch of other sites with intrusive scripts ) -- it's the comments where the value is at so reddit is now totally useless to me - I suppose I should get around to adding the site to my growing deny list.
Edit: clarity.
I wonder if this was about killing old.reddit in two steps, forcing people to create accounts, or LLM scrapers.
Update: looks like they want LLMs to have to buy their data: https://web.archive.org/web/20260716201346/https://old.reddi...
How do banned users access Old Reddit? Do they just Not?
I got fable to whip it up, use at your own risk

Not a direct substitute old.reddit.com in that we don't support creating custom communities, but the idea is to create something reminiscent of the original reddit, or perhaps a version of Hacker News with a more broad scope of topics. Oh, and you can filter out topics, like AI.
