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

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 42 points 7 months ago

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

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.

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

[-] Dran_Arcana@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

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.

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

What I noticed lately is that I can't login on old.reddit when using a mobile browser.

I clicked your first link and it worked for me. It seemed to remember my having logged into Reddit at some point in the past. Although now that I've visited Reddit today, I feel dirty:-P.

[-] apex32@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

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

[-] doc@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago

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

[-] apex32@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

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

[-] joel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago

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

[-] humuhumu@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months 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

dosen't the homepage also allow logins?

[-] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

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

No doubt because of my scathing post here.
