Fermiverse ,

For lurking without the need for an account I use
this https://feddit.de/post/7289677 app on android

corus_kt ,

Same, I do this to lurk on specific game communities like armored core or pokemon romhacks

For the moment you can replace the 'www' in the page link to 'old' and reload. the old ui doesn't show these annoying warnings. You can also try some libreddit instance.

randomised ,

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.

RememberTheApollo ,

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.

deweydecibel ,

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.

fuzzzerd ,

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.

pete_the_cat ,

It still works fine for me.

For people on iOS there’s a shortcut that will redirect you. I think this is the one I used https://routinehub.co/shortcut/10086/

scytale ,

There's also the Sink For Reddit app where you can toggle old and new reddit. It also adds a bunch of features to make your experience on safari better.

This is the way.

Old_Dude ,

Probably just need to sign in. But if you don't have an account already, then it's shitty that they force you to use the app to create an account.

Thorny_Insight ,

it’s shitty that they force you to use the app to create an account.

They don't. I just made a new account there a month ago using my browser and old.reddit

ohlaph ,

Reddit has become full garbage.

TropicalDingdong ,

To be fair, its been shit for a real long time.

We all just put up with it far longer than we should have.

ohlaph ,

You got that right.

@TxzK@lemmy.zip avatar

Yeah. From when I first joined reddit to until I left, I've never ever seen the video player actually fucking working. It's like a McDonalds ice cream machine, always broken.

Alto ,

At least there's a reason for McDonald's ice cream machines not working, even if it is blatant and disgusting corporate greed from Taylor Company.

If anyone wants to spend 30 minutes learning about McDo's ice cream machines, boy have I got the YouTube video for you!

(Piped link)

This is such a great video.
Thanks for linking it. I need to watch it again

Meeh, nothing new, service menus with the full picture have been around for decades. Just download a warezed service manual for your product and you can fix it yourself.

Same thing is happening with printers and every other piece of hardware out there that runs any kind of software on it.

We've seen this behavior throught history numerous time, keeping it in the family I mean, this is nothing new. As long as people keep bying food in McDonalds and complaining how McDonalds made their son/daughter cry, they'll keep pushing their shitty products. My son starts crying over no ice cream... son, I'm sorry, but even the king doesn't eat something that's not available, get used to it, that's life.

bionicjoey ,

I never understood why people complained about this. Reddit videos always worked fine for me in RiF. Then I found out they don't work in the official app. WTF?

Poem_for_your_sprog ,

They don't work in the official app or the mobile web browser.

Reverendender ,
@Reverendender@sh.itjust.works avatar

They do in safari and old Reddit, albeit the loading times slowed way down in the last week or two

Holyhandgrenade ,
@Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world avatar

It worked just fine in Infinity and on a desktop browser, never in the official Reddit app. But I guess Reddit couldn't stand the fact that a free, ad-free app worked better than the official app.
Also Lemmy loads WAY faster than Reddit these days

TxzK ,
@TxzK@lemmy.zip avatar

I used Infinity too, and video worked fine in it. Well up until they killed it
