Reddit Announces Old Reddit Will Require Login for Access

Reddit has announced a policy change for its legacy interface. Starting soon, old.reddit.com will be viewable only by logged‑in users. Anonymous visitors will be redirected to a sign‑in prompt. The move is intended to encourage account creation and improve moderation. Users who prefer the classic layout will need to log in to continue using it. Reddit cites benefits such as better personalization and security. No specific rollout date has been provided in the announcement. The change may affect traffic patterns on the old site as users adapt.
