Did Reddit start blocking its subdomain-to-subreddit URL scheme?

4 pointsby interestica7 months ago
Any subreddit used to be available at subreddit.reddit.com —&gt; Reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;subreddit<p>I have no idea if it was an advertised or officially supported scheme. And I don’t know what the nature of the URL redirect&#x2F;rewrite&#x2F;forwarding was. It was handy for remembering. Now all those links seem to redirect to the main domain.<p>Old.reddit still works but could go soon if they’re reorganizing schemes&#x2F;standards.<p>I actually used that subdomain structure years ago to allow users to select different subset styles for subreddits.

Recommend you use the Redirector browser plugin (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;einaregilsson.com&#x2F;redirector&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;einaregilsson.com&#x2F;redirector&#x2F;</a>) and create a rule with these options:<p>Redirect:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;*.reddit.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;*.reddit.com&#x2F;</a> to:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;$1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;$1</a> excluding:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;</a> Example:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;*.reddit.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;*.reddit.com&#x2F;</a> → <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;</a>* Applies to:<p>Main window (address bar)

They stopped doing that at least 10 years ago.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20150317155232&#x2F;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.reddit.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20150317155232&#x2F;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.redd...</a>

I sure hope they won’t take down old.reddit.com. IMHO, Reddit would be unusable without it.

I never even knew they did this.
