I keep having my Reddit account invalidated with wrong password error message. I create a new account with randomly picked user name and random password and get logged in OK. If I log out I can’t use that same name and pw to login again, pw error. What’s going on with them. It has to be one of the worst sites in the Internet. I want an account so I can follow four subs and have the ability to create permalinks for comments I want to share elsewhere, i.e. the Ukraine sub here, Mastodon and in email with friends. Is it a pointless venture to try and get a stable account?
I don’t think anyone should use reddit anymore, but you could try another browser. If you are not using google chrome on windows, reddit might be broken for you. It’s called poor web design and reddit is the definition of it. Try google chrome in private mode without any extensions enabled. If the login still doesn’t work, you have another problem.
Yes. Poor Web Design, if any design at all. They can’t handle normal logins. I will just do without it. More time to spend on other things.
Thanks. I wouldn’t get near Google Chrome. I use Waterfox and sometimes Pale Moon and even more rarely Firefox.
As you should 👍
This part of the Fediverse should have a sub entitled 12stepprogram4redditaddicts. To follow the conflict in Ukraine there are three reddit subs that are necessary and to do that right you need an account and the old reddit interface. The Lemmy sub Ukraine and several Mastodon accounts are the only alternatives I can find.
If you are on Android you can use the app Stealth
Which allows you to anonymously , ‘Browse Reddit (view posts, comments, subreddits, and users) Search posts, subreddits and users Subscribe to subreddits Sort History Save posts and comments Create different profiles (per-profile subscriptions, history and saved items) Show/hide NSFW content Image flairs Awards Save photos and videos Light/Dark theme’
Thanks but I just use a desktop to access Reddit. My cellphone does not have Internet access.
What about using a multi reddit link to follow the subs you are interested in?
You mean doing this without having an account? and not using the old redit interface?
Yeah, just setting a bookmark would make it easy to follow the subs you are interested in. If it is the old.reddit interface you want can just set it to like old.reddit.com/r/sub1+sub2+sub3+sub4. Or get the old reddit redirect extension that will automatically turn any reddit links into the old reddit interface.
