If you want the classic Reddit experience you need to use old.reddit.com

    Biggest loss if/when Old Reddit is removed would be RSS. Browsing the site otherwise is painful.

    Truly feels like the management’s intent is to run the site to the ground, creating animosity any way they can.

      Can you watch videos in some RSS reader? Which one? Mine doesn’t work and I have to actually open the website.

        If a tool can display embedded videos, or download them, there are some that come to mind.

        A “FeedHub” extension I found on the Chrome store while testing some things some months back could play embedded videos.

        Newsboat, though not having an internal player, can download the videos iirc, which is halfway there (requires some setting up beforehand).

        Grayjay, an aggregator for Youtube, Rumble, Soundcloud, etc., can fetch through RSS Youtube videos specifically as an option to avoid timeouts (sadly no Odysee, NicoNico or Peertube’s RSS integration).

        Also the fediverse softwares I tested most can play embedded videos and there are RSS-tracking bots around which you can use to turn your feed also on a RSS reader.
