Reddit Locks Down Its Old Interface — What It Means for Indian Power Users
Ars Technica·Thursday, 2 July 2026
Reddit is now requiring users to log in before they can access old.reddit.com, the classic version of the site that many heavy users prefer. Reddit says logged-out access to the old interface has become a major source of abusive data scraping. Anyone who browses old Reddit without an account will now be redirected to log in.
Why It Matters
India is one of Reddit's largest user bases, and many Indian tech professionals and students rely on old.reddit.com for forums, job tips, and tech discussions.
