Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn’t even show the full post. There are 3 of those “trending” boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description
I originally became addicted to Reddit because of how streamlined it was to skim dozens of headlines and pick from lots of content, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide anymore :/
They’re turning it into a magazine - wonder when they’ll add personalisation algo
After tiktok, all these social media companies want you to endlessly scroll
It’s already there, no ? They suggest content in my frontpage from subreddit I’m not subscribed to.
Oh yeah? I’ve never used the main app/site
Honestly, I think the UI looks okay. I dislike the trending boxes which makes my brain think they are ads.
it’s because they will be mixing in some ads there after a while.
Reminds me of Digg. They turned into a very pretty ghost town.
Fuck Reddit and all, but old.reddit.com if you MUST go there.
I wonder how long it’ll be until they shut down old reddit.
Reddit has been Digging themselves a grave and it’s both hilarious and tragic. How fucking stupid of a user generated content farm to shoot themselves in the foot and actively antagonize the people that made the site relevant. Top tier dipshittery.
Doing a Digg would have involved removing the old version of the site.
Literally the only advantage of New Reddit is the fancy-pants editor, which isn’t even available on their fucking official app.
Even Sync on Lemmy has better support for rich text editing.
old.reddit.com still works for me
I have noted that RES never-ending Reddit seems to have been borked, with duplicate posts appearing both sides of the page break. I’m running ublock origin and pihole which might contribute to it.
I’ve noticed the same. Annoying, but better than the alternative. It also stops my non-stop scrolling so that’s a positive side effect lol
So many ads. It’s like every fourth post is actually an ad.
Yikes.
I block the ads, pretty decent experience imo
uBlock works on those
Unblock origin + I still don’t care about cookies = easy surfing
You just think it does
What doesn’t work with that view?
Wow that’s pretty horrible.
It’s amazing what you miss due to 10 years of browsing with RIF and RES as mandatory installs
“miss”
deleted by creator
I mean if I wanted to say something positive, I actually like it more than their previous “new age” UI, but mostly because unlike that one, this no longer lags as badly. It’s still way too much JS and way too large images, but at least it feels they found a single web dev or something and let them do an hour of work.
Design is a subjective thing, I don’t like it but I also didn’t like the one of the previous one so that’s a wash. But at least this one works somewhat better.
Yeah I am just having a look on my phone and it runs smoother than the “old new” design for me. The “classic” view it defaults to isn’t bad either.
It does not show the OP on the front page until you go into the comments or a subreddit, and for whatever reason has the comments button open a new tab which I don’t like.
With a few tweaks, I’d hapilly use it if I had to. I’d always prefer old reddit’s design though.
At first glance I thought it was youtube.
Is the old.reddit.com still usable or is that fucked up too?
old.reddit.com is still kickin it. No talk I’ve heard of to get rid of it yet. The second it’s gone I’m gone.
Old Reddit is Reddit. If they get rid of it, I’m sure as fuck not sticking around for this new site. It looks like Bing and Youtube had a deformed little monster-child.
In case you didn’t know and for everyone else that prefers the old UI there is a clone for lemmy.
https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
lemmy.world has it installed at https://old.lemmy.world. The creator has it running at https://mlmym.org/ for other instances that don’t have it installed.
Wow that’s pretty accurate.
Same for https://old.lemmy.zip /
It doesn’t have some modern conveniences like the ability to block just FYI to those reading along at home. It’s pretty bit it’s not as functional as many others.
Wow, I never knew that was a thing! Old Reddit style Lemmy needs to be brought up more.
It was on the front page of lemmy.world for a bit.
yeah same here… I was like, youtube has text posts now?
Text posts on YouTube are pretty nice though. I like that people can post channel updates like saying there’s gonna be a delay on a video or something without having to film and post a video to do so.
It seems they recently fucked up something with i.redd.it handling - opening image links from old reddit always redirects to https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/media/nice_hat/ for a few days now.
No that’s intentional. They no longer allow direct i.redd.it image linking, it forces a redirect to a landing page that is either old.reddit if you’re logged in and force it, or new reddit with a “get the app, doofus” nag screen for anyone not logged in.
They didn’t want anyone using Reddit as an image hosting service or - God forbid! - viewing Reddit content without delivering every ounce of their personal data and ad revenue to Spez.
It’s ironic because i.reddit links work perfectly fine to repost content on Lemmy
Well it hasn’t worked for inline embeds for me for a hot minute. You can still browse to it of course, but now you have to open a new tab and deal with the “GET APP!!!” pop-ups every 3 seconds.
On my machine it doesn’t even take up the whole window. The left column is pushed out to the right, giving less space for actual content. Do they have UX engineers? This is very bad, especially when you can go to the old site and get a ton more info on one page instantly.
Is this perhaps to lower backend requests, while forcing users to scroll more? I hate the amount of scrolling needed on the phone sometimes. 🤔
At first when they changed the layout I thought it was to try and mimic a mobile phone kind of layout, portrait instead of landscape sort of, to make it identical on pc and phone. Not that it made sense then, But they’re pushing everyone to their shite app so it makes even less sense now.
LOL. They went full Digg. I abandoned Digg for Reddit, and now Reddit for Lemmy.
Same. Bonus, I also abandoned Fark for Digg.
This is the third time I’ve watched a fantastic service shit it’s pants in public.
Same here, oh well
Same here
Samezies
I went 4chan, Imgur, Reddit, Squabblr, and now Lemmy. Been a hell of a ride
same. slashdot to digg, digg to reddit, now reddit to lemmy.
Usenet to digg, digg to reddit, reddit to lemmy.
Oh, I never stopped using usenet 😅
I skipped the digging part of that, thank God.
Before Slashdot was Yahoo though. Remember when it was a basic search engine, then they made it “your home on the internet” or some shit and homepage was cluttered? This is what reddit reminds me of
I’ve always opted out of the new design in settings
What the ever-living fuck is this bullshit? I’m glad I abandoned Reddit before they started this bullshit.
At least Old Reddit is still available. Right? I think? But for how long?
Only a matter of time before they squash that, it has very little ads.
It is still available
For now…
It is available, for now. I refuse to use reddit’s terrible mobile app, so when they kill old.reddit.com I’ll be gone for good.
Of course. New Reddit has been a ridiculous travesty since the start, even with continued development and refinement. There are so many stupid and annoying things about it. It also has a lot of performance problems compared to the old UIs - not just slowness, but issues like the video player crashing or just stopping, and it doesn’t do that in old reddit. Also they try to restrict you and guide you to the app in ways that old reddit does not - saying a post is for mature audiences and you have to use the app, for instance. But then you can view it on old reddit with no problem.
This is why old.lemmy.world is a godsend.
I thought so too, but I prefer a.lemmy.world at the moment, very similar to old. in that lots of post visible, but with some good QoL improvements, suchs as posts sliding in from the side, dark colors. icons instead of text, nice infinite scrolling.
Neither has a button for the crosspost functionality which kinda sucks.
