Tell HN: Old Reddit Now Requires Login

33•quincepie•11h ago

Comments

sethops1•11h ago
I've been working on https://treehouse.net/

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.

erelong•10h ago
Is this truly the end?

Feels like a moment

jubilanti•10h ago
So who is going to make the xcancel version for old reddit?

edit: https://safereddit.com/ is an instance of https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

autoexec•5h ago
"Sadly, you must enable JavaScript to get past this challenge. This is required because AI companies have changed the social contract around how website hosting works. A no-JS solution is a work-in-progress."

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

AmazingEveryDay•3h ago
I'd settle for a Safereddit Enhancement Suite. Hmm.
ChrisArchitect•10h ago
Cannot duplicate. What I'm getting is a temporary/false "You've been blocked by network security" page but refreshing then brings up the reddit page as per usual.

Suddenly started happening to me out of nowhere while browsing. Really does feel like one of the last pillars of the old internet just toppled - that reading is open to anyone. New Reddit is basically unusable.

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

anonova•10h ago
Can confirm that this started happening today.

> Log in to use old Reddit

> To keep Reddit safe, accounts are required to access old Reddit. Log in, or continue without an account on reddit.com.

I don't participate in Reddit conversions and only use old.reddit.com to browse some specific subreddits as a guest.

cosmicgadget•10h ago
That sounds like just the kind of risky behavior that was a huge threat to Reddit! Glad they did something about checks notes people browsing from the open web.
anenefan•8h ago
It's been 9 days that way for myself but I visited their log on would be required announcement page 20 days ago, so my IP / fingerprint was probably mapped and thus first to be flagged. I noted at least one other comment at HN confirming they too had struck a request to log in the same day I found old.reddit effectively walled off. It's rare I find myself landing at reddit by way of a search, most times it is by way of following an interesting post from HN.

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.

cosmicgadget•10h ago
Getting the same. I stuck around as a lurker cause some subs were still good. I'm definitely not creating an account or subjecting myself to new reddit.

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...

arijun•6h ago
Yeah lemmy is just too full of tankies for me. I mean, reddit was full of half baked political takes, but at least they didn't spout apologia for North Korea.
Melatonic•9h ago
Isnt this going to decrease a massive amount of traffic from Google searches and whatnot?
jubilanti•9h ago
the regular reddit.com can still be accessed without a login, but that's the bloated webapp with tons of ads and tracking and takes dozens of MB to load over hundreds of network requests.
Melatonic•9h ago
Forgot I had auto redirects setup. So lame
kotaKat•8h ago
Also getting slammed with the "to keep Reddit safe" bullshit.

How do banned users access Old Reddit? Do they just Not?

ronsor•8h ago
Guess I'm not using it anymore
isaachh•7h ago
First I made a userscript that auto-redirects me to old.reddit, then they did this. So now I have my userscript fetch the .json version of the url, and render a minimal hackernews style UI instead of the bloated normal site.
arijun•6h ago
Mind sharing the script? I am certainly not logging in just so they can track me better.
