Any chance of making posts link to old.reddit.com instead of www.reddit.com ? (sh.itjust.works)

In particular, posts to NSFW videos hosted on v.redd.it don't work on the www version. The links take you to the comments page, which blocks NSFW content, and nags you to go to the app.

old.reddit.com links just work without logging in.

So the CombatFootage subreddit is the one I've been seeing it on: https://lemmit.online/post/93740

When I click the link on that post it goes to non-old Reddit.

Edit: oh interesting, I see what you mean now. That's very confusing because the r/CombatFootage link looks like something that would take you to the subreddit, not the post on old reddit. Is there any reason not to make the main post link not go to old reddit? I like to click the link directly from the post list instead of going into the post first.

Just deployed a new version that redirects v.redd.it and i.redd.it to their "comment page". One of the first posts the bot picked up was already a hit: https://lemmit.online/post/121926 So from now on they should have the proper link inside. Cheers, have a nice weekend!

Awesome! I hope other people appreciate the change!
