> That said, like digg, the redesign is also missing a lot of features that old.reddit has. So, if they don't want to digg v4 themselves (which is what made Reddit popular to begin with) then they have to at least keep old.reddit around until there is feature parity.
It was less the features or lack there-of that drove Digg users away with v4, and more the change in culture around news websites being "official" and auto-submitting their stories.
- bonestamp2 6y agoI guess it probably varies by user then. Some of the features I used everyday were gone so I finally decided to have a serious look at reddit. I had never taken it seriously before because it looked awful by comparison. But, once you got past the poor design aesthetic, it was a much better community. So, as much as I like old.reddit, I don't blame them for improving the design, it is a turnoff for anyone who is design savvy.
