Some A/B testing or rollout going on, I'm guessing. Also, Reddit's an abusive ex, stop going back to them!

News and Discussions about Reddit
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:
Rules
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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I still have one account there for /r/Lemmy and /r/RedditAlternatives when people try to discredit Lemmy
Well here’s even more reason to stop fucking using Reddit. Let the dead horse rot instead of continuing to beat it

Difficulty level: impossible
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.
Not only that but reddit isn't allowing you to make new accounts as of today, without having a Gmail account first.
OH and Gmail force logs you out after 5 minutes and forces you to phone verify.
Are you equating email to Gmail?
You must have done something bizarre to your browser if Gmail logs you out every 5 minutes.
Yeah, I've been logged in for months before and I use a lot of privacy extensions. This person also seems to think emails and Gmail are the same word.
Really? So, Gmail account is a must? outlook.com/simplelogin alias not allowed?
Not only that but reddit isn’t allowing you to make new accounts as of today, without having a Gmail account first.
What? So you can't use any other email provider but Google to sign up for a Reddit account?
EDIT: I actually don't think this is correct. I just went to the sign up page and it does have buttons to create an account using Google or Apple OAuth (I assume) but there is a field under those two buttons for just any email. Put in my Outlook.com email and it accepted it and went to the next page where I could create my user name and password.
OH and Gmail force logs you out after 5 minutes and forces you to phone verify.
No it does not.
Yes it absolutely does. For me I try to make a new Gmail, it force logs me out after 5 minutes randomly and says please verify phone number.
So then verify your phone number?
Google doesn’t log me out after 5 minutes. Sounds like you’re doing something wrong.
I just tried, that's crazy
Maybe Gmail logs you out because of your cookie settings or VPN you are using?
You and everyone replying to you is wrong, the reddit sign up UI is misleading but it doesn't require an email. You can just click "next" on the email prompt without entering anything.
ah my bad. You're looking at the new reddit while the no-email trick only works on https://old.reddit.com. but it does work, i just double checked
Ah
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.
Same here
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.
it must depend on your location cos I can still use it
If you are logged into reddit, you can just set the account preference to opt out of the redesign. No extension needed.
I thought they removed that recently... Could be wrong, though.
It's still an option for me on the desktop, not mobile site.
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?
They've now fixed/reverted it to the old operation.
No doubt because of my scathing post here.
