It's fine until they discontinue old.reddit.com at some point in the near future.

- kabacha 6y agoBy then hopefully reddit alternatives like Lemmy[1] become viable 1 - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
- nicoburns 6y agoYeah, I didn't think the Lemmy project would go very far when I first saw it. But the implementation is very impressive (performance seems comparable to HN), and the self-hosted model seems like it could be quite amenable to communities staying in control.
- chacha2 6y agoThat seems like the exact same design as new reddit.
- scambier 6y agoSimilar UI, but really different UX.
- jakearmitage 6y agoHow do you make such a thing distributed? Seems to be using a database. If you host on one domain, how does it send the changes to other nodes?
- systematical 6y agoYep not looking forward to this day.
- DoingIsLearning 6y agoThey must have usage stats. I think they are well aware that a lot of older users (some likely heavy _content_contributors_) will simple walk away if they do this. You can't sell ads if you don't have original content that drives traffic to your pages.... old.reddit.com as well as '.compact' are the price to pay to prevent a digg type exodus.
- morrbo 6y agoSomewhat happened a few days ago. Reddit in the browser (ie. M.reddit.com) got a redesign which has screwed loads of stuff up (can't even see usernames of those who have submitted posts on /hot) which makes everything cartoonish, moved the "share" buttons to where voting used to be, and is overall just a bit crappy - without mentioning some of the bugs they have such as a giant white bar on every page. It sucks because I love reddit, but it will be EOL for the people who made it what it is in about 3-5 years
