I recommend using redlib to view links now that they gate old.reddit.com behind an account: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/ins...

And, indeed, you can use archive.today to get past the login wall: https://archive.ph/HcOq2 (This is a link to the post for this article) (If one’s ISP can’t access archive.today, I find that Firefox’s built in free VPN can usually access them) Or, you can use on of the various Reddit scrapers, e.g: https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/Seattle/comments/1xhf6qp/archi... Here’s a list of Reddit scrapers: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/ins... Personally, as scummy as archive.today is at times, I can generally trust them to have an honest archive about, say, someone’s drunk post before said drunk deletes the post.
In Archive.today links going forward
There is Redlib[0], an open source alternative Reddit frontend, with many public instances[1], e.g. https://redlib.catsarch.com/ There is also LibRedirect[2] (or PrivacyRedirect, although I for one have no experience with that), a browser extension that automatically redirects reddit.com URLs to your Redlib instance of choice (it also does the same for other platforms, configurable). [0] https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib [1] https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/ins... [2] https://libredirect.manerakai.com/
In VLC for Unity now supported on Linux
