I only used old.reddit, it's a sad day as I say goodbye to reddit because the new layout is terrible and since they killed open reddit clients there is no alternative.

You can still use old.reddit, you just need to be logged in. That said, if old.reddit ever went away altogether I would stop using it too.
Logging in is enough friction to prevent me from browsing casually. Especially when I'm on a work computer.
One benefit is my productivity had a temporary boost this week until I find another site to read.
You can do it without logging in too if you use an extension that autoredirects. That's what I do. I use a FF extension called Old Reddit Redirect.
Maybe RES (or other extension) should gain a mode where new reddit is rendered in the style of old reddit?
For you to give that good-good user tracking data you do.
I'm able to browse old.reddit.com without logging in right now.
Maybe it's for specific subs?
Not yet, but it's coming to old.reddit.com globally soon: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/06/reddit-will-require-...
This isn't sad at all, this will help me break my reddit addiction splendidly.
I still use "RedReader" on mobile, this works. If that client would be gone, I'd also say goodbye to Reddit.
