They Killed Old Reddit

It seems to work fine here. Just be aware that you need to go into the site settings and re‑enable Old Reddit (even if it’s already enabled, you have to toggle it again). They did that some time ago, and it doesn't "remember" your preference if you use a fresh browser session.

Does not for me. Likely an A/B rollout.

For me it stopped working suddenly yesterday (2026-08-10); some "proxies" are still getting in but heavens know for how long.

Same here, went dark between two clicks.

They didn’t kill anything. What they did is require you to login to use Old Reddit as its simplistic web design made it easy to scrape.
