It's truly baffling how Reddit changed from a fast loading & information dense UI to something that takes about 15 seconds to load on average and shows about 1/10th the information than before.
- Semaphor 4y ago> It's truly baffling how Reddit changed from a fast loading & information dense UI to something that takes about 15 seconds to load on average and shows about 1/10th the information than before. The compact mode on new reddit is actually slightly more information dense than old. Sadly it’s still a crappy, slow JS app, if it was performant I’d switch from old in a heartbeat. edit: Checked the current state of New Reddit. Yikes! https://i.imgur.com/FnMDjmM.png https://i.imgur.com/FnMDjmM.png
- bcrosby95 4y agoYeah, I genuinely prefer the UI of new compact reddit, but the slowness is frustrating.
- counttheforks 4y agoI just tried it and it doesn't display the thumbnails of any of the posts. On old reddit you get to see a small inline thumbnail for each post. New reddit's compact mode doesn't show this, so it still gives you less information over all. Also, it's still way slower than old reddit.
- Semaphor 4y agoHuh. I could have sworn there was a version that looked almost like old, just more tastefully designed and slightly smaller. But I didn’t feel like checking it out after I had this [0] toxic experience within seconds of trying the current state of new reddit.

- counttheforks 4y agoYikers, that's just awful.
- gausswho 4y agoBoost app on Android makes the experience enjoyable again. As long as the API remains un-kneecapped.
- Semaphor 4y agoSync is also great, but I’m mainly a desktop user. I’d just like the improved markup and stuff from new.
