Dynamic in the sense dynamic VS static doesn't mean what you think it means.
Being able to collapse a comment thread, or upvote a comment, or post a reply, without reloading the page, means the website is dynamic. Static only means that nothing changes without a page reload, which is thankfully long gone.
Also, the new and old reddit are exactly the same in terms of "staticity". It's just that the new design sucks.
Similarly I'm sure you'd qualify Facebook of being an evil dynamic website. But open Facebook and HackerNews side by side, the content on the former won't update dynamically more often than the latter.

I’ve been doing web dev since web 1.0 so again, no.
- waboremo 4y agoBoth of you are correct, the list of things is mixed. Interactivity = collapsing a thread Dynamic = posting a reply and it being sent and displayed without reloading the page FWIW, I don't believe Reddit does the latter.
- iLoveOncall 4y agoYou're right. I'm not sure if Reddit does it for messages but they do for votes for example. HN too.
