>> These found success with their "poor" design and discovery
To be fair, both Digg and Reddit have very simple interfaces which work quite well from a UI/UX perspective. And after Digg's redesign, it's actually much easier to find stuff I want to read. Reddit for better or worse, has stuck with their simple design and the users still love it after all these years.
I will agree however, both sites lack of a decent search functionality, Can't remember how many times I found something interesting on Reddit and tried to come back the next day to find it and only found stuff from a year ago after entering the entire title of the post. Digg is the same way.
- Razengan 11y agoReddit's search is next to useless. Sometimes you can't even use it to find something you know you saw just a few days ago, or even your own comments! Using Google with "site:reddit.com" is way more effective. It's one of those things which everybody knows that it sucks, but as soon as you bring it up in an official feedback forum, you basically get tut-tut'ed by other users into accepting it's somehow good enough and we shouldn't ask the developers for something that'd be "hard to code."
