My main issue is that it can legitmately be the last place some more niche communities gather.

The front page is absolutely never worth interacting with, but those "smaller" communities (and we're still taking 50k-300k subs, larger than many alternatives I've seeked out) I haven't found a substitute for.

Only thing I'm annoyed is that old reddit isn't default for those rare occasions I need to visit it.

AFAIK you can make it the default in your user settings. I haven't seen new reddit for a long time

There's also an add-on at least for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-re...

I don't like to stay logged into my account so I use this.

Did you switch to other communities or just swear off social media sites altogether? I’d love to just go back to smaller niche sites like the old days.
