Those were the days, i.reddit.com is still sort of ok on mobile devices
- progre 6y agoI guess, but I have sort of lost interest in reddit anyway. They can do whatever they like to their webpage, I'm out. The only thing I really miss are the in-jokes that HN really don't like. I drift more and more to youtube instead, I even read the comments there sometimes (!).
- bjarneh 6y ago> I even read the comments there sometimes (!) Some of those youtube comments are pure gold IMO. I guess youtube has its fair share of toxic comments as well (as most social media), but it's somewhat strange that youtube got famous for its horrid comment sections.
- panpanna 6y agoSomeone please make a front end to Reddit that removes all garbage.
- foepys 6y agoI got an older middle class Android phone with a Snapdragon 660. Using i.reddit.com is lightning fast: I can open the comments over 3G as fast as old.reddit.com on my desktop PC with a 1 Gbit connection. Meanwhile the new reddit that loads when I want to watch a v.reddit.com video takes like 10 seconds until I can watch the video in that laggy thing they dare to call a video player. Just opening comments of a self submission (text only) takes 5 seconds. And on top of that: browsing the new reddit experience drains my battery extremely quickly. Once i.reddit.com gets turned off, I will leave reddit for good just because the new website is unbearable.
- bjarneh 6y ago100% agreed, the new versions of the site; especially the mobile version is unbearably slow
