Reddit to Require Login for Accessing Legacy Site old.reddit.com

Reddit announced that the legacy site old.reddit.com will soon require users to sign in. The change applies to all visitors, not just those posting or commenting. Reddit says the move is intended to reduce spam and improve moderation. Users who prefer anonymous browsing will be redirected to the new design. The login requirement aligns the old interface with the platform’s broader policies. Existing bookmarks to old.reddit.com will still work after users authenticate. Critics argue the shift may diminish the appeal of the classic layout. Reddit plans to roll out the change over the coming weeks.
