News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. "Too many redirects". I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.

The old 'popup' login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.

More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.

Some A/B testing or rollout going on, I'm guessing. Also, Reddit's an abusive ex, stop going back to them!

I still have one account there for /r/Lemmy and /r/RedditAlternatives when people try to discredit Lemmy

Well here’s even more reason to stop fucking using Reddit. Let the dead horse rot instead of continuing to beat it

Difficulty level: impossible

Must be rough working at Reddit right now. At least I would feel like I wasn't doing much good in the world. Working hard to enshittify.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

I miss reddit. Too bad it isn't what it was. It has died.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not that I remotely ~want~ to defend reddit, but from a development standpoint it's much easier to maintain and secure a single login workflow. Whatever nonsense the new/old font ends require, it's probably much easier to make that work with a single unified token than it is to maintain both separately.

As long as the login remembers which frontend it came from, I wouldn't be too up in arms here. If it dumps you out to www/new.reddit then that's completely fucked and there's no excuse.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

yeah, as long as old.reddit.com still untouched. it is bearable atm.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You still using Reddit? lol. Zero sympathy.

"I don't like the idiots running the encyclopedia company so I'm going to mock people who use encyclopedias"

Seems like a mature, measured response.

Imagine being them, subbed to a "Reddit" community on Lemmy, complaining about people who use reddit...

They're not exactly deep thinkers.

Seems like a shitty lazy analogy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

it must depend on your location cos I can still use it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you are logged into reddit, you can just set the account preference to opt out of the redesign. No extension needed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought they removed that recently... Could be wrong, though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's still an option for me on the desktop, not mobile site.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

same here. I can't log in with reddit (dot) com. I have to use old reddit - now I can't login at all

I huffed air out of my nose imagining the smug self-satisfied grin you had on your face after you smashed submit on that zinger of a comment.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That’s the same thing I do whenever I see people whining about Reddit on lemmy.

Let it go. She doesn’t love you anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

dosen't the homepage also allow logins?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They've now fixed/reverted it to the old operation.

No doubt because of my scathing post here.
