Umm. I just tried old.reddit on a "gonewild" subreddit with no login even, and it was fine. Now I'm sure they'll patch it out. But, seems to be an easy workaround as of right now.

I don't think it's been fully rolled out to everyone yet, as they don't have to start enforcing it until a later date.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah I wonder if they're A/B testing on some accounts and old.reddit is generally the last to feel changes.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah I think that's what they'll be doing, seeing what the impact is to usage and also iron out any kinks before it gets rolled out to everyone.

Pretty sure .compact also still works.

Slap .compact after a URL and you'll see a mobile version of reddit from like 2006.

edit: THEY REMOVED IT! D: RIP .compact - I've visited you about 5 times, ever.

They got rid of .compact after people pointed out you could use it to access i.reddit.com after they removed that.
