On reddit, go to your preferences. Down under beta test you'll find "Use the redesign as my default experience". Deselect it.

Now, even if you're following links from elsewhere, you'll get the "old" experience. No need to go to "old.reddit.com" any more.

That feature has never worked 100%, which I mentioned. There are countless complaints about it on /r/beta.

That feature is likely working 100%, as in, the redirects are probably an intentional feature meant to expose users to the redesign in hopes that they stay.

That theory fits with how obnoxious the reddit mobile webpage is in it's attempts to onboard you to the native mobile app.
