As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.

Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.

Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

Fuck Spez -> Redlib allows you to view without logging in. Here's a list of other instances on github.

That content is effectively public property at this point, and we created it. We should have access to it.

I'm concerned at redlib's viability long term. There was anotherpost here a few days ago that said the whole of reddit was login only. If that happens Redlib is dead.

That said, I can't imagine why reddit would do that and it seems unlikely.

Can't redlib operators just use a reddit account for? Login to get past the login wall, and then fetch requests for other users

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 2 points 1 week ago

That's a potential solution but there might be problems I haven't considered.

Presently that's not how it works though, redlib doesn't log in.
