I’ve found it depends on where I connect from. If I’m using my home WiFi, it works. If I use 4G or a VPN, I get the login prompt. Still seems to work on my WiFi at the moment.

It seems to work fine here. Just be aware that you need to go into the site settings and re‑enable Old Reddit (even if it’s already enabled, you have to toggle it again). They did that some time ago, and it doesn't "remember" your preference if you use a fresh browser session.

nope. this has to do with not being logged in. you used to go to old.reddit.com without being logged in.

That's gone now.

Finally, I can stop using it. It's better this way.

Better to adopt with apps like redreader, customisable and away from ads and unusable mobile web ui.

cyanydeez•about 1 hour ago

pretty sure that's next.

They didn’t kill anything. What they did is require you to login to use Old Reddit as its simplistic web design made it easy to scrape.

"They didn't remove anything, they just removed anonymous access"

Still works for me (not logged in).

Does not for me. Likely an A/B rollout.

For me it stopped working suddenly yesterday (2026-08-10); some "proxies" are still getting in but heavens know for how long.

Same here, went dark between two clicks.

So anyone knows a good Android RSS reader?
