- StartupTree 7y agoNew Reddit is so so bad, I feel like I'm in a hallucinogenic nightmare when I accidentally click into it. Kudos that they kept the sane old option for people who want to use the website.
- b3kart 7y agoQuestion is, for how long? I am dreading the day when I can no longer switch to old.reddit.com whenever my laptop is begging for mercy.
- MattGaiser 7y agoAnd this is not considering that new Reddit is horribly slow. You can be waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for the actual content to load.
- anthk 7y agoI got fed of it; I just use TUIR with a ~/.mailcap file, and ed/vi as the comment editor. Ultrafast, easy and the CPU usage is pretty low.
- nimvlaj30 7y agoOld is much better. Even then it's not perfect. The goddamn sidebar keeps taking up 80% of the screen on my vertical monitor or portrait phone.
- squaresmile 7y agoI'm using this userstyles that hide the sidebar when the window width is less than 1500px. [0] https://gist.github.com/squaresmile/47ed504ba2838f51be451518af5bd6c1 https://gist.github.com/squaresmile/47ed504ba2838f51be451518...
- WillPostForFood 7y agoI prefer old reddit because I use it to read things. But if you are into photos, memes, etc, the new reddit is better for just infinite scrolling while scanning images without having to click into each post to see images. I understand the direction they took, it wasn't for people like us who like sites like HN. https://i.imgur.com/TTUpTL9.png https://i.imgur.com/TTUpTL9.png
- account42 7y agoYou can get infinite scrolling and inline images with RES [1] without making it impossible to read discussions. [1] https://redditenhancementsuite.com/ https://redditenhancementsuite.com/
