- toxik 5y agoInfinite scroll is a very dangerous thing. Seriously should be regulated.
- alternatetwo 5y agoReddit Enhancement Suite has had this for years btw. It's on by default but you can turn it off.
- turminal 5y agoIt's a dark pattern that was successfully imposed on us.
- taurath 5y agoAlso there are browser add ons to always redirect to the old (non broken) style. When they drop old style they should be prepared for a huge migration of users away like what happened to Digg. Hoping someone has a viable competitor spinning up for when they decide to make their next decision that is terrible for the users.
- jordigh 5y agoI doubt there will be a huge migration. I think it's already a small minority of users holding on to "old". I've seen people on social media asking, "why would anyone use the old and broken Reddit design?"
- worldeva 5y agoI'm a moderator of a fairly large, nontechnical subreddit- Reddit allows you to see your subreddit's statstistics, and the last time I checked, around 1/3 of our traffic is from old reddit. So definitely not just a small minority. (Then again, it has been around a year since I checked, so perhaps the numbers have shifted.)
- CamelCaseName 5y agoI mod a top 50 sub and less than 15% of our pageviews are on old reddit. The number used to be falling much faster, but seems to be falling in a somewhat stable fashion around the 15% mark over the past year.
- gruez 5y agoIs this based off the subdomain? If so the numbers might be flawed because logged in users that have the legacy design option selected in their user options would still possibly show up as www.
- CamelCaseName 5y agoIt's directly from the Reddit traffic page. I'm not sure how they categorize pageviews.
- taurath 5y agoMaybe I’m a curmudgeon. To me the browsing experience and content density is night and day favoring the old style. On the app I get 2, maybe 3 posts per screen and at least 1 ad taking up 30% or more of the screen. I don’t see how that’s an objectively better user experience unless someone desperately needs glasses. Another factor is that communities can’t use CSS to style their pages with the new site. /r/nfl for example is a thousand times better with their CSS than the few tools for differentiation Reddit provides.
- sschueller 5y agoOnce they kill that I'm gone. 13 years...
- PenguinCoder 5y agoSame. Also, moderator of a few large subs. They keep shitting on mod feature and abilities, still wanting us to mod 'efficiently'. One more major "fuck you" and I can promise I'm gone from all that. Get more value and less hate from here, as it is.
- Dracophoenix 5y agoAny good alternatives? I know of tildes.net and lobsters.rs from others.
- throwawaysea 5y agoThere's a big list here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/km9468/list_of_active_reddit_alternatives_v6/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/km9468/...
- ncann 5y agoIt used to work great but over time more and more threads are broken and cannot be viewed in old reddit, for example the poll threads, or the prediction threads, or threads with inline images mixed with texts.
- diveanon 5y agoTeddit.net is an even better privacy focused frontend
