Reddit will limit old.reddit.com to accounts that used it while logged in during the prior six months.

Reddit said that, over the next few months, logged-in access to old.reddit.com will be limited to people who used Old Reddit in the previous six months, with an exception for logged-in moderators. The company said a July requirement to log in already reduced scraping and automated abuse, and that today's rule targets accounts with no prior Old Reddit use. Spokesperson Rosa Kim said the change is meant to preserve Old Reddit for real users rather than shut it down. CEO Steve Huffman has previously said Reddit is still working on Old Reddit's future.

Key facts
  • Logged-in Old Reddit access limited to use within six months.
  • Moderators remain exempt when logged in.
  • July login rule reportedly reduced scraping and automated abuse.
  • Reddit says this is not a shutdown of Old Reddit.
