As a 14-year long user, the new Fisher Price UI makes me sad :( What have they done to you, Reddit?
As a 14-year long user, the new Fisher Price UI makes me sad :( What have they done to you, Reddit?
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 :/
I think Reddit doesn’t realize that what made their UI so appealing was precisely that it felt really functional and bare bones, like Craigslist still does or Google used to. As if it was designed by nerds who just wanted the most functional site. It makes it seem more trustworthy and neutral, less monetized.
This redesign looks painfully corporate.
At first glance I thought it was youtube.
Is the old.reddit.com still usable or is that fucked up too?
Bro what in the msn.com is this
She's dead. Move on, friend
Looks like they copied youtubes front page.
that looks like youtube. is that how non old.reddit looks like?
That looks like a hot bag of ass. Glad I’m not there anymore.
JFC that’s hilariously hideous. Well done spez you fucking wank stain
Remember when they hid NSFW content from r/all and they said they would add a new filter that did contain the content?
Now you can't even select r/all from the drop down menu on their app. You have to open the sidebar, scroll all the way to the bottom, then select it. No way of setting it as the default. Classic algorithm push for advertisers.
it’s facebook….
You don’t show full posts because then your team gets to count an ‘active’ user when people click to expand.
Metrics becoming the goal 101 and active user growth is important to get investors to hold the bag for your VCs. Every action right now, that the VC money is getting scarce is aimed at making Reddit look like a profitable target for street investors so your VCs can cash out. Doesn’t matter if what you do isn’t sustainable, because you are the VCs bitch now and they want their payout before you crash and burn.
Fuck Reddit and all, but old.reddit.com if you MUST go there.
I legit thought this was a parody.
Looks like one of those clickbait content websites that pop up on social media. I guess this is what you get when everything is aimed at ad revenue and short term profit. Next logical step, sell the thing to some corpo while is still relevant.
Don't insult Windows XP by comparing it to this trash.
this is the (relatively) new sh.reddit.com ui (which is now the default for logged off users; it's actually much lighter then new reddit and doesn't use much js and barely has any tracking), logging in should grant you access to new.reddit.com; and of course good old old.reddit.com is always there (install RES; hit Shift+X to expand images)
I don't know. I think this new Facebook UI looks about the same as it was before. Oh, this is Reddit? lol
Wow that is worse than i expected
first i thought i watching YouTube
old.reddit.com still works for me
What have you done to reddit?
Well, much. But in the end i just left without a trace after 12 years.
Another to be glad I stopped using reddit.
Reminds me of Digg. They turned into a very pretty ghost town.
As someone who used the site for almost as long (don't know the exact length) how is this just now the thing that bothers you? Reddit has been consistently declining in quality for at least 6 years now if not even longer. What year did they stop showing the upvote and downvote count? That was the first in what became a long line of quality downgrades
Wow they seriously did me a favor by kicking me off the site.
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.
I loved the old school forum style when I joined. It looks like facebook or what I imagine Facebook looks like these days. I don’t know who this design is for, but it’s not for me.
Reminds me of yahoo back in the day. Tons of shit on the screen with no actual substance.
It kind of looks like Google’s stuff (Drive, Email) which to be honest is starting to feel dated.
I've always opted out of the new design in settings
Worse than I could imagine lol.
What a fucking disgrace. Barf.
Eeewww
I found myself on Reddit by way of Google the other day while looking for an answer to a niche question. I noticed that whatever post I clicked on opened in a new window (on mobile). Maybe it's just been that long, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember this being the default behavior. Reddit's other shenanigans aside, any site that seems to use target="_blank" for every link has definitely lost my eyeballs.
Is there any way to undo that? I don't visit reddit that often but when I do I'd rather be able to see
There is an awesome 'old rexxit' theme for lemmy, ask your favourite instance admin to install it (I don't know the proper name but they should be able to figure it out). I honestly forget I'm not on the old site sometimes.
They redesigned it similar to old reddit and lemmy? Wow I can not believe it took years to do it. I really like how it looks on a mobile (I use Boost anyway) and yet to see desktop version.
Well, this is the default user interface you see if you are not logged into Reddit. However, it becomes slightly different if you are logged in, although I'm not quite sure on the differences between what you see if you are not logged in and if you are logged in, for the matter.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted;
How can you expect something like a social media website, so recently conceived, to persist in its present form so long? Everything changes so fast. Remember when televisions were these big boxes and there were only three channels?
This is why I keep logged into reddit. So I can avoid this mess, and get to use the custom feed feature.
