Reddit forces login to access old.reddit.com

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:

If you allow me to do a bit of self-promotion: code.mschae23.de/mschae23/mlmym (this is my fork of the software running on old.lemmy.world).

It’s a different frontend rather than just a theme, so it needs to be set up separately (similar to lemmy-ui). If you have any questions, feel free to ask me :)
