Reddit now won't let non-logged in users see subreddits until they've been "reviewed"
This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.
Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it's only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

Search is broken in Reddit right now (for me at least). Best part is, it doesn't always report an error, just pretends there are no results.
Oh, and Reddit Status doesn't know yet.
Lol reddit search has always been almost entirely worthless. I know search can be hard, but it has to be by design.
I'm not talking about inherent brokenness that was always there.
There is a specific search with a non-dictionary word, and limited to specific sub, that always worked, but it's not working right now, returning zero results. Reddit search is fully broken right now (except for finding sub names if you don't limit the search to a sub).
Problem is still persisting btw. And Reddit Status still reporting no problems.
Ironically, if they spent a lot of time improving it, Reddit might've been far more profitable. A big advantage Reddit has is all of the genuine conversation and questions for things people Google. Reddit could have weaponized it by becoming a direct competitor to Google, and I think they would've actually done really well.
Right? They could have done a billion things to become profitable, they're a top site for traffic for multiple countries. The fact that this is all they could muster just proves their incompetence.
An I the only one who never had issues with search
Yes
Reddit search has always been broken, even when it was working.
Search was always broken. When have you ever found anything you were looking for with it?
Always.
So it’s improved? Always had to use google to search Reddit. Ridiculous.
I only use(d) it in a specific way. For example searching for a sport club (non-dictionary) name, limiting the search to that sport's sub, and sorting by new).
For general search, a search engine would indeed probably work much better.
Problem found and solved according to Reddit Status btw, and confirmed by my own tests.
