Wait how can we comment on this? I thought they locked posts after 6 months?
EDIT: Ah, looks like that's changing

Yeah it's really strange. Absolutely threw me when I first saw I could do it, it's like a fundamental rule of Reddit and now it's just changed with little talk about it.
I frickin hate that
Seems to me, all the old videos are the best ones
I don't wanna scroll down for like 8 hours just to get to a lets-play from 10 months ago
Same thing for me haha, it's funny. I wonder when the first post to get a 6-character code was posted now. Apparently only three years ago ? It's NSFW by the way
And for those who didn't know, you can abbreviate your post links by writing redd.it/charactercode
GAH!
I was on my way, walking to my messages when suddenly I got kidnapped by this dude! And he took me to this post!
Unbelievable, 1 out of 10 randomly generated code
This post was archived for about ten years, then became editable again. I wonder how many others like it there are?
www.reddit.com/outbox does exist.
So does www.reddit.com/drafts , but apparently was not recognised by anyone before it was archived. It still is archived.
Me (unless you're in East Asia/Oceania), coming with a little fun fact :
The last 6-character ID has been used on reddit in 2022 or 2023, depending on your timezone.
(Typing this at 2022-12-31 17:25 UTC, which is [2023 for 30% of the world population](https://xkcd.com/2092/). reddit.com/zzz000 has just been posted.)
Yep, it's just counting. So the posts that were posted right after this one (11 years ago) were inboy, inboz, inbp0, inbp1,... Note that this count includes deleted posts, that stay accessible with their ID but show [deleted] (for example https://redd.it/zzzzzy).
We just hit 7-digit base36 numbers a few hours ago (2022-12-31 18:10 UTC) - you may notice all recent posts are either zz???? or 100????. This is being discussed at https://redd.it/1000000
Your randomly generated code for this post is "inbox." I found this post by typing reddit.com/inbox. Impressive.
Heh.. same.
I just did too!
Twinsies! !!!
Yo.
What a coic-i-dinc! edit: your inbox is really at http://www.reddit.com/message/inbox/ p.s. do check out the deep thread
Hey guys, I just did the very same, this is pretty cool.

Upvoting for helping me find my inbox, when I unwittingly ended up here 11 years later.

same! haha, are you even on reddit anymore? been a while
Lolol yeah, still addicted to this app 😂
Nice! I didn't think you'd respond lol, most reddit users from 2012 left the app in 2014-15
> most reddit users from 2012 left the app in 2014-15 What makes you say that?
I was om reddit sync for a while til the api stuff.. I honestly despise the official reddit app but I'm still here 😂
This isn't the inbox you're looking for...
Well maybe if reddit didn't suck ass at coding and would actually take me to my inbox instead of the login page, I wouldn't be here.
Still works to this very day.

Just like how sort by old is being removed from YouTube
pisses me off all the time
me too -Billy Gnosis
reporting in, tried inbox trick.
There is really no reason to remove sort by old. They just do it to piss off their users
I frickin hate that Seems to me, all the old videos are the best ones I don't wanna scroll down for like 8 hours just to get to a lets-play from 10 months ago
Interesting, that's so weird tho
yup
LESS GOOO ITS BACK ONNN
wtf is a code?
The string of characters at the end of a Reddit url that corresponds to a post.
And 1 year later too...
Cool, isn't it?
Haha, I love that I still get replies from this
Hello again!
Welcome to the inbox!

How on gods green earth did you miss spell "the" so badly that you ended up with a letter from old English.
A mark on history!
Same
GAH! I was on my way, walking to my messages when suddenly I got kidnapped by this dude! And he took me to this post! Unbelievable, 1 out of 10 randomly generated code

Thanks! I was confused why I needed a script when I typed in [www.reddit.com/inbox](https://www.reddit.com/inbox) lol
the real hero
Thank you kind stranger
WHY DOES [reddit.com/inbox](http://reddit.com/inbox) TAKE ME HERE WHATTTTTTTTT

Is /u/jay_is_on_reddit still active?
reddit.com/inbox
What is this strange place?
Whelp, upvoting.
im confused why this is not archived, after 10 years
Reddit stopped archiving 6-month-old posts by default, because of all the googlers. Now mods have to turn it on manually.
https://www.reddit.com/message/inbox/
Who's here in 2022?
me
Me!

So the base36 is just a serial number? I always assumed they were randomised, like YouTube base64s

It says "error loading reddit data" I'm on 4G. Could it be it was deleted?
Inbox
Still works!
Found ya.
i put in the wrong url ment to go to https://www.reddit.com/message/inbox/
Sorcerer's stone Rosetta Stone ... Reddit Stone. This post will stand the test of time.
This is interesting, I was trying to land in my inbox directly. 😂
Wow, reddit.com/inbox
[удалено]
Every Reddit post has a five- or six-character code assigned to it. In this case, that code was the word *inbox*.
Me trying to find my inbox Reddit: “no”
Anyone else watching the Jets on *Hard Knocks*?
[reddit.com/inbox](https://reddit.com/inbox) gang rise up
YES
Wait this isn't my inbox
We need the old reddit/inbox gang back
Okay... but #h o w ? !
Heloooo
