You're not kidding. This webapp is so fast (after the initial load) that I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if the Reddit mobile website intentionally adds sleeps/delays as some have jokingly suspected in the past. On this site, I can actually scroll through posts or collapse comment threads without wondering if my touch input and/or browser are frozen.
- bserge 6y agoNew Reddit doesn't need sleep/delays, it's already slow as molasses heh. If not for old.reddit.com, my time on Reddit would've gone way down :/
- revnode 6y agoI wish that was the only problem with the new Reddit ... it frequently crashes my browser. No other website does this.
- emersion 6y agoThis sounds like a browser bug tbh.
- takeda 6y agoMy understanding was that s/he was referring to the new UI. Actually Reddit makes it hard to be on the old interface, I have to use browser extension to completely avoid the new UI.
- bserge 6y agoThere's a setting in preferences - as long as you're logged in, www.reddit.com links will still load the old design. Logged out though, yeah, I manually replace "www" with "old" whenever I open a link... Reddit is unavoidable these days since everyone's moved there and there's a lot of good content :/
- arcturus17 6y agoNot my experience... Touching “Communities” on my iPhone takes a while to load. Edit: to add, while touching the buttons for the different sections, it seems sometimes my touches are not registering, requiring me to try again.
