Reddit has become the face of enshittification

I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don't want people to use their shit anymore. I'm starting to believe in the dead internet theory.

I use a VPN and they block me most days. I uninstalled the app and said fuqit.

Are/were you able to log in?

Not the person you asked, but yesn't. It works while not connected to VPN, but when I am connected to VPN (that it rejects) the TOTP 2FA doesn't work, so with 2FA enabled I cannot log in.

It shows a green checkmark, but clicking "Check code" does absolutely nothing, and I am still not logged in.

Red Reader works but I have not found a solution for the browser. Sucks majorly because of search results leading you to a Reddit post.

Do you need to be able to post and upvote?

If not then install libredirect, go to the reddit settings, and ping instances until you find the lowest latency front end.

There you go. How you can read and the ui of most is pretty clean.

No login needed since I don't have an account anymore. That addon works, at least for Reddit it seems. A lot of other sites like IG or TicTok do not. The former at least has another site & addon that works but most of those proxy sites seem to just be broken, even though the pinging still works.
