Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn't even show the full post. There are 3 of those "trending" boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description

I originally became addicted to Reddit because of how streamlined it was to skim dozens of headlines and pick from lots of content, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide anymore :/

At first glance I thought it was youtube.

Is the old.reddit.com still usable or is that fucked up too?

    old.reddit.com is still kickin it. No talk I've heard of to get rid of it yet. The second it's gone I'm gone.

    In case you didn't know and for everyone else that prefers the old UI there is a clone for lemmy.

    https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

    lemmy.world has it installed at https://old.lemmy.world. The creator has it running at https://mlmym.org/ for other instances that don't have it installed.

    It seems they recently fucked up something with i.redd.it handling - opening image links from old reddit always redirects to https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/media/nice_hat/ for a few days now.

    No that's intentional. They no longer allow direct i.redd.it image linking, it forces a redirect to a landing page that is either old.reddit if you're logged in and force it, or new reddit with a "get the app, doofus" nag screen for anyone not logged in.

    They didn't want anyone using Reddit as an image hosting service or - God forbid! - viewing Reddit content without delivering every ounce of their personal data and ad revenue to Spez.
