If you change the URL to old.reddit.com you can get past this BS and view the post anyway even without logging in. You just have to use the old version of the site which has a lot less of the stupid stuff they’ve added.
There’s also browser extensions like “old reddit redirect”. They ensure you’re always on the good version of reddit.
Or Reddit Enhancement Suite
It’s probably best to not recommend RES anymore it’s been in maintenance mode for around 2 years and is no longer being maintained. Honestly I’m amazed it has been become broken and unusable yet.
I mean…it hasn’t, though?
RES still works just fine. Why would I stop recommending something that works?
What a bizarre thing to suggest. Don’t use software that’s in maintenance mode? The whole point of maintenance mode is so it keeps working so people can keep using it.
I’ll stop recommending it when it breaks.
Agreed. It seems unlikely reddit will add new useful features to old, and RES has coverage on the existing interface and doesn’t need anything new so it’s not like lack of new features is a bad thing here.
The day RES quits working is the day I stop using reddit at all. Right now it’s a mix of the fediverse and some reddit, but not having RES (or old.reddit) would kill it for me.
It still works fine for me.
This is the way.
