View submission: What We’re Working on in 2024

When I click on a link in old.Reddit it takes me to a very bad version of new Reddit where videos etc are the size of a thumbnail.

Can you just keep old.Reddit users in old.Reddit?

This is an old comment at this point, but...

I don't use old.reddit in the url. Rather, I manually selected "opt out of redesign" in my user preferences in all my different usernames.

For most of my usernames, this works great. But there are two that are funky and load up to that crappy version of new Reddit when I log into them.

I've found that, when this happens, going to /r/friends forces reddit to go into full on "old mode". Presumably, because this feature of the website is fully obsoleted in the new version of reddit? Either, way, hopefully this helps!

If you're on browser check out the "Old reddit redirect" extension. Works like a charm for me in this type of situation!
