I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. “Too many redirects”. I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.
The old ‘popup’ login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.
More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.
Some A/B testing or rollout going on, I’m guessing. Also, Reddit’s an abusive ex, stop going back to them!
I still have one account there for /r/Lemmy and /r/RedditAlternatives when people try to discredit Lemmy
Well here’s even more reason to stop fucking using Reddit. Let the dead horse rot instead of continuing to beat it

Difficulty level: impossible
Must be rough working at Reddit right now. At least I would feel like I wasn’t doing much good in the world. Working hard to enshittify.
I miss reddit. Too bad it isn’t what it was. It has died.

Are you equating email to Gmail?
You must have done something bizarre to your browser if Gmail logs you out every 5 minutes.
Yeah, I’ve been logged in for months before and I use a lot of privacy extensions. This person also seems to think emails and Gmail are the same word.
Really? So, Gmail account is a must? outlook.com/simplelogin alias not allowed?
Not only that but reddit isn’t allowing you to make new accounts as of today, without having a Gmail account first.
What? So you can’t use any other email provider but Google to sign up for a Reddit account?
EDIT: I actually don’t think this is correct. I just went to the sign up page and it does have buttons to create an account using Google or Apple OAuth (I assume) but there is a field under those two buttons for just any email. Put in my Outlook.com email and it accepted it and went to the next page where I could create my user name and password.
OH and Gmail force logs you out after 5 minutes and forces you to phone verify.
No it does not.

So then verify your phone number?
Google doesn’t log me out after 5 minutes. Sounds like you’re doing something wrong.
I just tried, that’s crazy

Not that I remotely want to defend reddit, but from a development standpoint it’s much easier to maintain and secure a single login workflow. Whatever nonsense the new/old font ends require, it’s probably much easier to make that work with a single unified token than it is to maintain both separately.
As long as the login remembers which frontend it came from, I wouldn’t be too up in arms here. If it dumps you out to www/new.reddit then that’s completely fucked and there’s no excuse.
yeah, as long as old.reddit.com still untouched. it is bearable atm.
What I noticed lately is that I can’t login on old.reddit when using a mobile browser.
Same here
I clicked your first link and it worked for me. It seemed to remember my having logged into Reddit at some point in the past. Although now that I’ve visited Reddit today, I feel dirty:-P.
it must depend on your location cos I can still use it
If you are logged into reddit, you can just set the account preference to opt out of the redesign. No extension needed.
I thought they removed that recently… Could be wrong, though.
It’s still an option for me on the desktop, not mobile site.
same here. I can’t log in with reddit (dot) com. I have to use old reddit - now I can’t login at all
dosen’t the homepage also allow logins?
They’ve now fixed/reverted it to the old operation.
No doubt because of my scathing post here.
So?
I huffed air out of my nose imagining the smug self-satisfied grin you had on your face after you smashed submit on that zinger of a comment.
That’s the same thing I do whenever I see people whining about Reddit on lemmy.
Let it go. She doesn’t love you anymore.
You still using Reddit? lol. Zero sympathy.
“I don’t like the idiots running the encyclopedia company so I’m going to mock people who use encyclopedias”
Seems like a mature, measured response.
Imagine being them, subbed to a “Reddit” community on Lemmy, complaining about people who use reddit…
They’re not exactly deep thinkers.
Seems like a shitty lazy analogy
