- CryZe 2y agonew.reddit.com seems to be an older layout than just reddit.com for me, one where most stuff still works (like video embeds).
- timeon 2y agoAt least it is faster and seems to be less bug-y.
- culi 2y agoTIL. new.reddit seems to be a return to old.reddit in a lot of ways. It also seems really really fast unlike the current www.reddit. If they remove some annoying ads I might even be convinced to stop using old.
- bee_rider 2y agoThe only downside is that new is still being developed. Old is nice because it is shielded from their post-success incompetence. Whatever bad ideas they decide to implement will hit new first.
- oblio 2y agonew.reddit seems almost... sane. Like they kicked out whoever pushed/implemented reddit aka the current version and figured out that old.reddit had a lot of virtues.
- jccalhoun 2y agoIt is so crazy. I normally use "reddit.com" but a few weeks ago i followed a link to an article on "old.reddit.com" and saw I had notifications. I clicked the item and it was all notifications from days ago. So the read status of notifications on old reddit and current reddit aren't linked?
- Izkata 2y agoThey are, but you don't always see all of them on the current reddit. Never figured out the pattern.
- account42 2y agoWhy do you see a difference? new. just redirects to www. for me.
