you used to be able to set the redesign_optout cookie to true, but that doesnt seem to work anymore as of like a day ago for me

They just demoed an entirely new version of Old Reddit at ModWorld. Same front-end but runs on the New Reddit backend.

Is that the version that looks like old reddit, but also only loads just as few comments as new reddit, and just as few nesting layers?

The fact that only some comments are loaded it's so infuriating. It's the main reason I stopped using Reddit altogether.

I believe the new, new version of old Reddit that was demo'd last week is not live just yet.

That's the entire reason I use old.reddit - the New Reddit backend is a pile of unreliable dung. Just like everything that is made with GraphQL.
