You can bypass that by just replacing "www.reddit.com" with "old.reddit.com", which shows exactly the same content using the old Reddit UI without login. It has no more restriction than just clicking an "I am over 18" button.
e.g.:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GoneWild
https://old.reddit.com/r/GoneWild
I can't fathom how people have been using the redesign in the first place. Old.reddit was the only way.
I never moved to the new UI. I assume that users using the new UI is a combination of:
Many, probably most of the existing userbase came in after the redesign -- Reddit kept growing. Probably not even aware of it.
A lot of users -- especially today, though not back when the site was created -- are browsing the site using a smartphone, and the old UI, while usable, is not designed around a small smartphone screen. (That's a two-edged sword; to some extent, I think that the new UI is poorly suited to a personal computer.) That being said, Reddit, like many Web-based services, pushes hard to get mobile users on the official app -- more access to a user's phone and data-harvesting potential, I suppose -- and I'd guess that a lot of smartphone users use the official app these days, rather than the mobile Web UI. I think that Reddit mostly sees the mobile Web UI as a way to help lower the bar to feed new users in, but that's not where they want mobile users long-term.
Reddit added inline images to the new UI, but not the old.
There is a small amount of incompatibility...I'd have to go back and look it up, but IIRC backslash-URL-escaping for URLs has slightly different edge cases, so you can get a link that works in the old UI but not the new and vice versa.
You really need a browser extension to fix up links to redirect to the old UI, since otherwise links that users on the new UI use will just direct old users to the new UI.
We actually kind of have a similar problem on the Threadiverse too -- while we can use
!community@instancesyntax to link to a community and have the user stay on their home instance, today we have no way to link to a comment or post and do so -- if I paste a link to it, it'll take a user off their home instance. There's a Firefox addon, Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin, which sticks a button in the sidebar of webpages to view a given post through your own home instance, which is kind of a half-solution.On the other side of the balance sheet, I haven't played with the new UI enough to know what didn't make it over, but I don't know if the subreddit wikis -- each subreddit came bundled with a wiki -- ever made it over. They weren't accessible from the new UI when it came out.
