There's still a lot of old, useful and informative posts on Reddit that I find via a Google search. It annoys me that whenever I find one of those posts, I have to go and edit the URL to be old.reddit instead of www.reddit otherwise it's so hard to use. Like, the useful thing is in the comments, but the comments are collapsed by default, so if you search for something you won't find it until you expand those comments.
If they get rid of old.reddit I think I'm going to end up using the wayback machine to get that old post rather than trying to use that horrible new reddit interface.
Instead of manually editing the URL you can use an add-on like this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/
Nice. I was being lazy, I was thinking of writing my own add-on or tampermonkey script, but I didn't get around to it. I should have known there was already one out there.
Agreed. New Reddit is terrible. I find having to flip to different pages to get to deeper replies particularly annoying.
