Perhaps a browser refresh?, I just tried it on a different machine with waterfox and just old reddit redirect and it went to old reddit no login needed.
The matter is pointless anyway if reddit wants to die let them.

hmmm, maybe it’s the extension that’s not passing the referrer information in my case? I am using “Old Reddit Redirect”. The URL in that search result still shows
www.reddit.comwhen I hover over the link, and when I open it and the browser extension changes the URL toold.reddit.comwhich is where I get the login prompt.I guess other extensions might rewrite the link destination, but then that would require more access to the extension to read/write the contents of every site visited, which is too much for me.

Oh I agree it’s too much work but should you need it there is at least a work around
