Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
If you want the classic Reddit experience you need to use old.reddit.com
Biggest loss if/when Old Reddit is removed would be RSS. Browsing the site otherwise is painful.
Truly feels like the management's intent is to run the site to the ground, creating animosity any way they can.
Can you watch videos in some RSS reader? Which one? Mine doesn't work and I have to actually open the website.
If a tool can display embedded videos, or download them, there are some that come to mind.
A "FeedHub" extension I found on the Chrome store while testing some things some months back could play embedded videos.
Newsboat, though not having an internal player, can download the videos iirc, which is halfway there (requires some setting up beforehand).
Grayjay, an aggregator for Youtube, Rumble, Soundcloud, etc., can fetch through RSS Youtube videos specifically as an option to avoid timeouts (sadly no Odysee, NicoNico or Peertube's RSS integration).
Also the fediverse softwares I tested most can play embedded videos and there are RSS-tracking bots around which you can use to turn your feed also on a RSS reader.
You have to manually type "old.reddit.com" rather than www, and soon that too will be gone.
Extensions too. I have the Firefox one.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/
It's still there for me.
Edit: also, that was an opt-in to the redesign, not opt-out, in old reddit. The redesign has the opt-out, and your screenshots are clearly old reddit.
This Firefox addon still works... but I don't know for how long as Reddit are really forcing people into their "modern" and slow design: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/
Similar to Facebook's old design, I would presume redirecting scripts should work as long as the interface is available. And with Facebook, once they started removing means to access the old design, new removals were ever quicker.
I don't think that option toggled the UI, in fact I don't think that option did anything for quite a while.
It's always been working for me. Did you have cookies disabled? Since the setting was stored as a cookie. In fact, the cookie is still working for me right now.
It worked, about 6 years ago.
Then I found that it kept "accidentally" getting reset "somehow" and dumping me into New Reddit, how strange.
I thought a Reddit resign was how some people ended up on Lemmy.
