That's why i deleted Reddit account twice and I moved to Lemmy, I don't want forcing you to use shitty Reddit app to view Unreviewed content subreddits (lemmy.world)

Reddit is already rate-limiting old.reddit.com traffic. There are already few threads about it.

Hadn't heard that, could you drop a link?

Thanks! Maybe they are doing this because old.reddit is more convenient to scrape, and stopping unauthorized data collection seems to be a priority for them? Since it isn't actively worked on you wouldn't need to constantly update a scraping program every time there's a change to the site that breaks it.
