As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.
Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.
Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.
Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

Niche topics was all I ever used Reddit for, so in my case, Lemmy just doesn’t replace Reddit at all. None of the subreddits I follow have an active equivalent Lemmy community. They go from a few posts a day and dozens of comments on Reddit to “last post: 3 years ago” on Lemmy.

I'd wager that older dumps are higher quality, before the mass redactions and deletions of the various exoduses. If you're looking for up to date information on current topics, it's time to look for (or build) other places.
trebach@sh.itjust.works · 23 pts · 24d
These are Pushshift torrents from 2005 to 2025: https://sciop.net/datasets/reddit. There are two data sets, one by month and the other by subreddit. Each is about 3.5 TB compressed and based on the compression ratio I've seen, about 30 TB uncompressed. This is without any sort of media, just text.
Reddit sent AcademicTorrents a request to take them down so AI models couldn't use them as a way to avoid paying Reddit hundreds of millions of dollars for training data.

takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 23d
The problem with AI is that while 80% of the time it will provide correct information, but 20% of time it will generate very convincingly sounded bullshit.
This is the danger of it.. You test it few times and then you start trusting it. Kind of like that farmer that destroyed his whole crop.
fizzle@quokk.au · 2 pts · 23d
I agree. However I don't think answers sourced from reddit are any more accurate.
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 23d
Yeeeesss..., but typically it is easier to determine how reliable the person is from the test of the context.
Since Gemini is fed by the reason directly or might be fun exercise to ask it about yourself and while in some questions it will answer correctly or just loves to invent new things.
This works especially well if the person owning the account did not worry as much about privacy. So you hear many true things and also a lot of bullshit.
fizzle@quokk.au · 1 pts · 23d
sure. that's an advantage of reading off reddit.
an advantage of asking an LLM is that it can consider multiple reddit posts and stack overflow and whatever else.
you're right that there's an eternal problem of determining whether information is accurate or just confidently incorrect, but I don't think that applies exclusively to chat bots.

Yes, Reddit now is truly worthless because:
ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 23d
I promise you your definition of worthless is far different than an investors
The stock market is overwhelmingly owned by about 10% of Americans who tend to be on the very wealthy side and the “mindless capitalism drones who simply want number to grow” side. They just see user growth and applaud. They love this change and all the changes Reddit has made over the past few years because it means harder to scrape for free and more likely to convert casual browsers to users
What is potentially killing Reddit (and twitter, Facebook, etc) is that advertisers are starting to lose patience with bot activity, which is the overwhelming amount of content on social media. The misleading statistic that those companies throw out is that bots make up a (relatively) small amount of accounts, which is arguably true, but sidesteps that those bots post like crazy. Thus the “power user” effect, where 5-20% of the user base makes up like 90+% of content. Advertisers are getting wise to the fact that an overwhelming number of social media interactions are just nothing (and no one they can sell to) and they’re starting to demand better analytics as well as run their own
This is where Reddit is potentially screwed; meta has dozens of other things to fall back on besides ad revenue. Twitter has Elon propping it up. But this is still pretty wishful thinking, the reality is that Reddits valuation will likely be propped up by institutional investors for years, maybe decades, on the hope of something that never comes (see: Tesla). The quality of the site is essentially irrelevant
eggpl4nt@lemmy.world · 38 pts · 23d
This news finally convinced me to make a Lemmy account so I can participate a little more instead of lurk. That, and generally how awful Reddit has been becoming for like, several years at this point, since the IPO.

Interestingly enough, old.reddit users are in the single digit percentages:
Even if they weren't hostile towards old.reddit (the ads are far less invasive and effective), they could make a strong argument for not wanting to support a dwindling, tiny userbase.
MangoCats@feddit.it · 15 pts · 23d
I've moderated a subreddit for about 15 years now, it's built up to ~40K members and ~100K visitors per week, ~1M views per month, and over 95-99% of that traffic is mobile (varies by the day). New Reddit (desktop) runs 0.5-3%, and old.reddit doesn't even register in the bar graphs. Still, my shortcuts all go to old.reddit.com - and not just for moderation, but it's also how I browse reddit.com.
If they cut off my old.reddit.com interface, I'll likely abandon my moderator's post - no telling what happens to that community after that happens.
KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 23d
Don't abandon the subreddit. Make a new one here. Then lock the subreddit with a pinned post pointing to the new Lemmy one.
MangoCats@feddit.it · 2 pts · 23d
There's an interesting thing about scale.... At 40K subscribers (collected over 15 years), my subreddit is pretty small niche. I tried duplicating it on the Digg reboot last year (yes, Digg sucked, sucks, and will continue to suck for the foreseeable future, but it was an informative experiment anyway)... because the niche is so narrow, and the Digg user base was so small, it never flipped over into growth mode. I'd promote it, get a couple of posts and a couple of subscribers, then crickets. After several rounds of that I walked away from new Digg. Meanwhile, on reddit with its billion+ users, 100 million+ active daily, the narrow niche continues to grow and because it has enough content contributing users, it's not my personal soap box, it's a truly user maintained community. But, that 90-9-1 rule definitely applies, probably even more skewed in my experience: 40K subscribers, probably less than 40 occasionally active content posters - an average of maybe 4 new posts per day, but... 40 posters are enough to keep the 40K engaged and growing.

Does old.reddit come up as mobile if used on a smart phone?
cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 23d
What percentage of old reddit contributes though? The 90-9-1 rule.
The_v@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 23d
Before the IPO, close to 100% of old.reddit likely contributed. For submitting, the old.reddit interface had better options for the experienced user. It was faster and easier to submit complex longer comments and posts.
The interface isn't that great for reading comments/post. The third party phone apps did it better.
Besides you had to have a tiny bit of experience with the platform to know how to find that setting. Not something most casual readers who hit the site via a search engine would know to do.
Since the IPO it's likely mostly few old-timers checking the niche subs. Probably very little engagement. Honestly, it's likely still around because of some critical tool for moderators or bots that would be extremely expensive to upgrade. Definitely not because they care about the user.
cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 23d
Probably why the quality of posts seems to have gone down (IMO) and the quantity of bot posts has gone way up recently too. It basically turned to shit shortly after the IPO. When I saw an add for reddit on TV I knew it's in peak enshittify mode.

Why do iPhones have such a grip on US?
megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 9 pts · 23d
The US was the first place smartphones took off and in the first couple years iPhone was the smartphone, so the initial set of adopters got iPhones because android wasn't really a consideration. Then the network effect, people got what their friends or family had. Also, since a lot of people get their phones payed for through their cellular carrier contract, they not super price sensitive since the cost was buried in a monthly bill.
So lots of people are used to IOS, and don’t see a reason to switch. Especially now with the one major differentiator, walled garden vs open platform, is disappearing with Google locking down their platform.
mursejoy@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 23d
Once Android bootloaders got locked down I jumped ship. I loved custom ROMs. I also used to side load a lot of apks/emulate games. Now my Steam Deck is my dedicated emulation hand held, before that a modded 3DS. My only reasons to stay on Android disappeared.
Also iMessage is just so much better than allo/gmessages/hangouts/etc. I waited for over a decade for Google to create and stick with an ecosystem.

I really was only playing GBC/GBA games on Android. I meant that I went on to emulate those GBC/GBA games on 3DS and didn’t need Android anymore.
3DS is pretty much the only system that I prefer to play on original hardware.
But dang that is an impressive piece of kit! I kinda want one just as a backup to my N3dsXL.

Blackberry was the smartphone in the first half of the '00s. And circa 2005 even Windows Mobile smartphones were gaining some traction (by "smartphone" I mean devices that are essentially handheld computers that can run apps and do a lot more than just calls and texting). They both got swamped by the iPhone because RIM and Microsoft were short-sighted idiots who failed to see the potential market and saw no need to improve their devices much, until it was too late. The iPhone wasn't the first, it was the best (at the time at least).
The_v@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 23d
When iPhone launched it was targeted at the general public.
Blackberry had successfully dominated the businesses. In apps, texting, e-mailing etc they were light-years ahead of everyone else at the time. Ther had a bit of a learning curve to figure out but it got the job done. Many of the things that the iPhone became famous for were blackberry inventions. They were also highly customizable with tons of options where you could tweak all sorts of stuff aka pretty complicated.
So Apple went after the consumer market where they had a major fan base built up from the iPod. The thing about the iPod that set it apart from other MP3 was it was extremely simple to use. Like your 50 year old MBA boss could use it simple (if someone loaded the MP3's for him) and no customization.
So the phone they made was about the same size as an iPod, and extremely simply to use. No customization because that created complexity. It was all tightly controlled.
Pretty soon it became the dominant phone in the market because as the current president shows, too many americans are fucking stupid. It remains the dominant phone because too many americans are fucking stupid.
It's a much more complex phone today but don't worry, most americans don't know how to use all the features anyway because they are too fucking stupid.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 23d
I think one of the main reasons Blackberry was swiftly killed off by the iPhone was that their devices had tiny non-touch screens that used 16-bit color, and RIM were unwilling to move on from that until it was far too late. The other reason is that the Blackberry app development environment was orders of magnitude more atrocious than anything else I worked with in my 25-year career. The development environment for iPhones was the second-worst but still massively better than Blackberry; even if RIM had moved to upgrade their devices, they never could have gotten anyone to develop apps for them.

Can't redlib operators just use a reddit account for? Login to get past the login wall, and then fetch requests for other users
m0stlyharmless@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 24d
RedLib presently spoofs the OAuth tokens and behavior of the official Android app to access the website, so they are kind of doing something like that already.
The challenge for instance operators is routing the traffic appropriately to avoid the inevitable rate limiting from Reddit for popular RedLib instances.
Instance operators end up using a variety of approaches to get around this such as having multiple RedLib instances each with its own IP so that if one becomes rate limited, their site can switch over to another instance while the rate limit cools down.
fizzle@quokk.au · 2 pts · 24d
That's a potential solution but there might be problems I haven't considered.
Presently that's not how it works though, redlib doesn't log in.

I haven't participated in reddit in quite awhile. But I still lurk on some niche communities, and often the site is the best result from search results. For those like me, I recommend redlib. It's a reddit front-end that lets you browse reddit without the abusive behavior. It won't allow you to post or comment, but you can still browse.
Reddit lost access to my comment contributions when their AI banned me for stupid reasons. They lost what ad revenue they could get from me when they blocked old reddit.
The harder you squeeze, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

Yeah you can run it yourself, of there are some public instances that seem to work well enough. I imagine it's going to be a long term cat-and-mouse game between reddit and the reddit front ends. Reddit will figure out a way to break them, then the devs will find a workaround. Rince and repeat.

Reddit has some cool communities that don’t quite exist elsewhere, and even though I’ve found old-school forums for some of them, the vibe is different (usually older people who are often retired and can’t envision not having money or free time).
