Maybe it's nothing, but Reddit seems particularly sensitive towards kbin.

### About Community Tracking and helping #redditmigration to Kbin and the Fediverse. Say hello to the decentralized and open future. To see latest reeddit blackout info, see here: https://reddark.untone.uk/

I think its interface is so much more similar to Reddit it scares them π€
Tbh lemmy seems more reddity to me. Kbin has the whole microblogging thing too, which differentiates it more imo, tho kbin does seem to be faster and less glitchy (when the servers are up lol)
Kinda wish Jerboa worked with Kbin tho.
Same, though you can follow all the kbin instances from any lemmy account federated with kbin, which is what I do (this is my kbin account, but I'm still subbed to all the same stuff on my lemmy accounts, except my lemmy.world account, which is basically useless since the beehaw defederation, so I don't use it anymore)
I agree, at least on mobile. I tried both and Lemmy feels like the natural alternative. Kbin reminds me more of old Reddit in UI, but Lemmy reminds me of Apollo UI.
That's why Kbin feels more like Reddit to me. I was always using old on desktop, and RiF on-the-go.

Fair, I only ever used slide for reddit until it started getting glitchy and refused to show gifs a year or so ago, then used sync. Lemmy has a great mobile UI very reminiscent of the old 3rd party reddit apps
Boost was my favorite when I was on Android. I think the only thing I miss are gestures to vote and collapse comments, but the controls are set up well enough to make it a non issue. Props to the lemmy devs
the mlem app is so close to Apollo! I hope we can get something like it for kbin
Depends which instance you're on. Lemmy.ml was giving me lots of problems, but I get the feeling the lemmy.ee admin is really on top of things so that's my main now.

A workaround is to add old. in front of the URL and you will still be able to use it, i.e., https://old.reddit.com/r/kbinmigration)
For now. It already tries to redirect you to the new reddit when clicking links in the old reddit.
I use to use a browser extension that would redirect back to old reddit for that. it was very annoying
I've been using the 'Old Reddit Redirect' extension in Firefox for a couple of years now.
I don't have to worry about typing old. in front of reddit links, and it bypasses that attempt to redirect to new reddit.
If you're tapping on the old ui already and trying to tap on links, I've found that if you tap on the 'comments' button, you'll stay in the old ui.
Plugging addon to redirect reddit links to archive.org versions: https://lemmy.world/post/146892
You can also add https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache: before the reddit link if the post isn't on the wayback machine for whatever reason.
On duckduckgo you can also search !cache + url to do the same thing.
Oh shit tysm, I use the bangs all the time and didn't even know that was an option!
This is great. Until the Fediverse amasses more content, Reddit is still the best way to get answers from Google that aren't just SEO nonsense. Great way to still use Reddit results without using Reddit.
That's exactly the same shit Elon/Twitter pulled with links to Mastodon.
Spez's hero, Elon.
So Reddit management is afraid. Good.
"has not been reviewed"
Since when is any content on reddit reviewed, other than mods enforcing sub rules?
I also find this hilarious. If they claim their content to be reviewed now that will be legally disadvantagous with all the nsfw, gore and grey-legal stuff on their site.

Can't wait to see what Spez's golden 'chute looks like.
Judging from his desperation, it'll look like an anvil if the IPO isn't successful or doesn't happen.
Oh yes!
Since I'm here, it ain't working.
yeah reddit can suck it. Thereβs a work around with Apollo that allows you to easily open the page in Apollo when you see this pop up. But no more after 30th. Instead for those who have iOS you can use this google cache shortcut. Just hit the share button, and click get cache and it will open up a cached version of the page. Itβs works quickly and havenβt had any issues yet. Works for subreddits that went dark too.
Competing platforms are scary!!!
You'd think they would be able to compete on merits alone in the free market, but instead they resort to this. Just like Twitter and mastodon. It's funny how scared they are about something so innocent.
Spez losing it again.
Yes, theyβve been doing that since the beginning of the great migration. It is available on desktop.
Bwaahaaha, the more they tighten their grip, the more people slip through their fingers!

I've seen this before on mobile (web browser) on really small subs. With 1k subscribers, this is the biggest sub that I've seen that popup show up for though, but I think every sub I visited on mobile that didn't have the popup had more subscribers than that.
That said, I could easily see the reddit admins dragging their feet over reviewing and approving this particular sub, unfortunately.
Not sure what's going on there, but I can see the kbinmigration sub without issues, even without "old" on the front end of the URL. Maybe someone just now "reviewed" it? Or maybe you have the adult content filter turned on? (I have it turned on here, but I think I probably turned it off on reddit at some point.)
Itβs blocking the mobile site
I had something similar happen to me for a game's Subreddit right before the shut down. It's less censorship and more 'everyone use our shit app.'
When I clicked on the image, I thought that it had taken me to Reddit and my mobile was warning me against viewing Reddit! I was like, βThanks, phone!β
No surprise there.
Haha I knew it!
Makes perfect sense. While Reddit thought the protest would last two days, they were calm. When a protest becomes long-term, it is natural that Reddit will develop a long-term suffering to protect their property.
