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:

    While I’ve been on Lemmy for a while, I haven’t really seen any hobby - centric or geek centric areas.

    I’ll miss the movie threads in particular, but there were a ton of active crafts, art & ttrpg threads to get inspiration from. Any suggestions?

      I run a few small communities on the fediverse, and its tough trying to start one up. Granted I try to keep mine canadian focused, but its an uphill battle either way. I was never one to volunteer or be an admin of a community, but I wanted to get the ball rolling somehow. Very disheartening to realize I’m the only one posting in the community, esp because I’m just a lurker at heart.

          You shouldn’t, you’re teaching them bad behaviors. If you go to Canada and you’re friendly to the Canadians they’ll expect the same from other visitors and will get upset when they’re mistreated and that will curdle their maple syrup and if that happens then they can’t feed their cubs. It’s better to just stay away from Canada.

      Idk about movies yet cause I’m new here as well but there’s quite a great community for books here. I’ve written two posts and one of them almost got 100 comments.
