If you're using Firefox on the desktop you can try out an extension that I wrote that allows you to change the version of reddit instead of changing the subdomain manually. I used it extensively on mobile but a couple of updates ago they only allow reviewed extensions to be installed.

lolwut? just erase the 'https://www' and replace it with old.

just drag and over what you want to remove and add the '.old'

I also left reddit years ago but need it for certain things like builds for small/niche games or less popular programming/computer subs. The problem will be when they get rid of the '.old'.

I seriously think it will be soon, but then also wonder if it's possibly keeping so many old users at least visiting the platform they don't want to shoot themselves in the foot...but then I remember the redesign decision and all logic goes out the window.

Edit- after posting this I thought maybe this person was right, maybe they visit so many subs it does get tedious, so I apologize.

Then I thought, maybe a good solution would be some kind of browser add-on that could add '.old'.

Then I founds this [1] ,but as with all good addons now, it's for desktop only. Still, maybe it can help you!

Man firefox used to be the shit, now it's just shit ;(
