I only use teddit.net to access reddit these days. On those odd occasions that I follow a link to the actual reddit site I'm reminded why I avoid it:
- Pop-up to download app
- Pop-up has been un-clearable on a number of occasions
- Having to click "read more" to see more than two posts
- Having to click a link to a new page to follow a thread more than two / three replies deep (and often finding that it's only a single, useless reply)
- Other progressively more trivial annoyances
- phist_mcgee 5y agoI cyncially feel like your third point is to save them on egress data. Better to send two comments for a post that quite a few people will never read the comments of.
- Gareth321 5y agoServing a few more lines of text is trivial, even at Reddit's scale. It is absolutely about making the mobile user experience worse for those who do not wish to download the app.
- vultour 5y agoThe old interface actually solves all those issues. I used to be in disbelief how anybody could survive using the new design for more than 15 seconds but then realised that the way people use Reddit is completely different nowadays. It turned into some sort of 9gag/instagram amalgamation where people scroll through an endless feed of images, enabled by the instagram-like format that is the default with the new interface.
- NotPractical 5y agoIndeed, the new design reflects the new direction the site is moving towards.
