Old reddit still works, but trends don't look good.
Sadly the death is near.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Some of the valuable discussions are present there in old threads,
I ended up there from purely organic search results.
I still pop onto Reddit for the same reasons. There's no point in limiting your ability to work and learn by avoiding Reddit links altogether. Especially if you're trying to make the internet a better place here, knowledge is helpful
As for the mobile Reddit popups, I added a few ublock origin filters that seem to be helping. See this other post

I still use reddit for troubleshooting tech stuff and this is super helpful. That popup is so annoying, thanks.
or you can use https://rdx.overdevs.com/
You can also use tampermonky on Firefox mobile to bypass it.
Absolutely. Often there are no fucking useful search results on Google at all besides Reddit threads…
Reddit has always been one of the most useful sources of information for a very long time. Hell the only sources I could get information for troubleshooting the PC upgrades I'm going through are from Reddit.
And that's basically all Reddit is for me now, the end result of a Google search looking for specific information.
If you use Kagi you can block the entire site and let better results float up.
