Additionally, Reddit will stop supporting RSS feeds on November 13.
Last month, Reddit signaled significant changes coming to Old Reddit and restricted Old Reddit to logged-in users only. The company has also made API changes that shut down third-party clients and is phasing out its API in favor of a controlled developer platform.
CEO Steve Huffman has said his dream for Old Reddit is to recreate the UI on a modern foundation.
