LPT: Don’t use reddit because it’s a fucking dumpster fire.
there’s a typo in your meme, op. The URL is supposed to look something like that
https://lemmy.ml/...At least we know this situation will never occur in Lemmy because everyone would just jump to another instance - the joy of decentralised media.
Same. Their reasoning and the warning in general make no sense. Why would it be safer to view “unreviewed content” (wetf that means) in their app vs a browser?
Because the app is so packed with ads, you won’t be viewing any content anyways.

Changes to reddit are what brought me here. Once old.reddit.com disappears I will be completely done with it.
There’s also beta.reddit.com
What’s the differences here?

I was not able to use it 2 or 3 days ago. I assumed they killed already but it was probably an issue with the work’s firewall then
Lol you went back for the porn
If Lemmy was better for Porn Reddit would’ve been abandoned by now.
Give them a break, porn on the internet is notoriously difficult to find.
The day they kill old reddit will be the end of reddit for me.
The day they kill old reddit will be the end of reddit itself. A lot of moderators depend on the older interface (along with RES) to manage their communities. Imagine trying to mod with reddit’s current interface.
Well they already did that when shutting down the API. And yet they try to keep that thing alive in most subs.
Why is it not the end already? Drop it, move on, you will be better off for you might even realise how much of a problem you have
Thanks mom, I will.
Your mental health matters dear. Eat plenty of greens and no more reddit!
Can you get me some Capt’n crunch on your way back home? Pretty please??
The sad thing is that this is the reason they’re planning to shut down oldreddit
I stopped using reddit on mobile after the api debacle. Once old reddit is done, I won’t be visiting on my desktop either. The redesign is and always has been trash.
Tbh i was surprised that it is still up. Aren’t they affected by the API pricing or something
old.reddit is just the official website with the old layout from before they redesigned their front end ui. It’s part of Reddit’s official website that they kept around because so many people hate the redesign, it’s not a 3rd party and therefore not affected by any pricing policies.
Thank You, kind stranger(s)
I literally predicted that old.reddit.com would shut down in 6 months after u/spez said it’s not going anywhere, just like Apollo. I wasn’t sure how seriously to take this but I think I will be pretty close.
What’s sad about it? Reddit is garbage. Get off it and stop using it.
Wtf does “unreviewed” even mean? Are they waiting for some board to approve communities now?
It’s basically corporate speak for “fuck you use our app”
A big part of getting you to use their app is to data mine EVERYTHING about you. Unlike a web browser with an ad-blocker, an app can collect your location, location history, your call logs, your contact list and serve up unlockable ads.
google ads can easily be dns blocked, about reddit ads… yeah.
there’s a reason why I’ve been using an unofficial client.
Don’t visit their stupid website

Their next claim: Use our app or it will rain all day!

Wish it looked better on mobile. I only ever browsed reddit (lemmy too) on my phone.

I always used old.reddit on mobile and had no problems. Not sure how anything could look any better.
You can’t think of any way it could look better? Really?
Certainly not any of the main changes made by the new Reddit UI. Except maybe the collapse thread buttons being long, vertical bars. That was a good idea.
To clarify: I also use RES, so that’s what I’m thinking of when I say old.reddit.
