Genuinely, what do you see as dated? My only other point of comparison is Reddit so I suspect I’m behind the times.

  Do you use old or new interface?

    Old, I think? I saw a friends and his was this stream of pictures and gifs, whereas mine is entirely titles with the occasional thumb nail.

      That would be the “dated” interface, then. I prefer it too.

  Mainly the interaction (though the graphical design itself definitely isn't what you'd call modern). No notifications or gui animations, no thumbnails or header images, being as hard to navigate as possible, scroll position gets reset all the time, can't even reply to a comment while looking at the rest of the thread because everything is its own separate page, nothing has outlines so text has no clear separation, etc. In a nutshell it feels like a site made in the 90s entirely with HTML forms without a line of javascript. I mean I do absolutely hate the new reddit redesign and almost exclusively use old.reddit, but the functionality there is still on another level when compared to HN.

    > scroll position gets reset all the time Actually, HN is the only social media site where my browser can consistently keep the scroll position. Animations and endless scrolling are what breaks it.
