Old Reddit doesn't work well on mobile devices at all. While it can scale the user interface, it's designed with a mouse in mind, making everything appear too small. I like using Old Reddit on desktop, but it's not user-friendly on mobile. For example, on HN (Hacker News), it's simpler; there are no images or different-sized icons. Even here sometimes struggle to tap the right links or flags, and I have to manually go to the settings to undo it. I'd prefer this over a poorly optimized mobile UI. However, optimizing the mobile web page would solve these problems.
- SilasX 3y agoRotate your device to landscape and it's fine. I guess part of the problem is sites training everyone not to do that. (Quora's expert designers will happily throw content into the void of the iPhone's notch on landscape, inventing a problem that didn't exist in older designs, despite them having been created before the notch ever came out.)
- imachine1980_ 3y agoRotate isn't good solution it like saying not open site in full screen open it in half screen o is similar to mobile, I use mobile on the go and can't acomodate bad design whit behavior changes you need too change the design, so people can use it whiout needing to change everything.
- SilasX 3y agoI find landscape easier to use on mobile. I don’t get the hate for it.
