Meg, perhaps you could use a different browser... Firefox.

 

I may have missed a few posts, but is there a Reddit link posted here that works for you?  If so, bookmark it, and only use your bookmark.  Do not mess with the Safari extension, especially if it does not work.  I would recommend that you UNDO the changes you made for Reddit.  It may be a temporary Reddit bug that they could fix later, and when they do, you do not want the extension to screw everything again (same thing with the host file, do not use it to fix other's bugs).

 

And yet another thing you can do is erase all cookies and temporary memory in your browser about Reddit.

I just accept that stuff doesn't work... Safari works fine at all.

Good luck! :)

I know, but I prefer to use Safari as it works the best with my other devices.

Well, we provide recommendations on what you could do to resolve your website redirection issue, but it is your Mac, so you do as you please. :thumbup2:

When visiting Old Reddit, I first end up at https://old.reddit.com/, and on the next visit, I also end up at https://old.reddit.com/.

 

However, when visiting the current Reddit, I first end up at https://www.reddit.com/, but sometimes, I get randomly redirected to https://www.reddit.com/?rdt=36988.

 

Nonetheless, when visiting New Reddit, I first end up at https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/new/, and on the next visit, I sometimes also end up at https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/new/, but other times, I get randomly redirected to https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/new/?rdt=55905.

 

As such, the current Reddit and the New Reddit are unsystematic, which complicates setting up automatic website redirection with the StopTheMadness browser extension from https://www.reddit.com/ to https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/new/.

 

Good luck! :)

I dislike the old Reddit design, but I was able to provide feedback directly to the admins of Reddit about the new design and that feedback is being worked on together with other people who are able to provide feedback.

I'll just accept the fact how things are on this moment.


Loving your avatar by the way, midi!

It would be beneficial if you told us the operating system version and safari version because I never get redirected to the old reddit and I have limited extensions installed.

For the next time, okay?

Well, that is the very first time I have heard of Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs), but I guess that is because I do NOT use any Social Media. :whistle:

There is a first time for everything, I bought this one on Reddit. :)

But isn't this forum also some kind of social media?

Yes, to some extent, and there is an article on Is a Forum Social Media? A Deep Dive into Online Communities - PostMaker. :)
