I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. “Too many redirects”. I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.
The old ‘popup’ login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.
More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.
Not only that but reddit isn’t allowing you to make new accounts as of today, without having a Gmail account first.
OH and Gmail force logs you out after 5 minutes and forces you to phone verify.
Are you equating email to Gmail?
You must have done something bizarre to your browser if Gmail logs you out every 5 minutes.
Yeah, I’ve been logged in for months before and I use a lot of privacy extensions. This person also seems to think emails and Gmail are the same word.
Really? So, Gmail account is a must? outlook.com/simplelogin alias not allowed?
What? So you can’t use any other email provider but Google to sign up for a Reddit account?
EDIT: I actually don’t think this is correct. I just went to the sign up page and it does have buttons to create an account using Google or Apple OAuth (I assume) but there is a field under those two buttons for just any email. Put in my Outlook.com email and it accepted it and went to the next page where I could create my user name and password.
No it does not.
Yes it absolutely does. For me I try to make a new Gmail, it force logs me out after 5 minutes randomly and says please verify phone number.
So then verify your phone number?
Google doesn’t log me out after 5 minutes. Sounds like you’re doing something wrong.
I just tried, that’s crazy
Maybe Gmail logs you out because of your cookie settings or VPN you are using?
You and everyone replying to you is wrong, the reddit sign up UI is misleading but it doesn’t require an email. You can just click “next” on the email prompt without entering anything.
ah my bad. You’re looking at the new reddit while the no-email trick only works on https://old.reddit.com. but it does work, i just double checked
Ah
