Old Reddit Is Down
- downbad_ 5mo agoYea, I noticed. I use Reddit on read mode only. They keep suspending me despite me appealing several times. It doesn't help that I tried creating new accounts each time which is against their rules (evading), but that was only because my initial appeal received no response! But they let bots roam freely on their land. It's annoying because I have communities I really like there like the ufc or mma Subreddits. Ah, this is completely off topic. Ignore me. Edit: I wonder what percentage of Reddit users use Old reddit. I suspect a great deal of Hacker News users use old reddit.
- slater 5mo agothis better not be.. the happening.
- downbad_ 5mo agoI hope so too! The day we all spoke about. Lol. "The day they take down old Reddit I'm out"
- skeaker 5mo agoThis will be true for me. The new layout is just so, so bad. It's hard to believe they found a way to make a worse UI given how many people found the old one difficult.
- benoau 5mo agoPlus on the new layout you're forced to use the mobile app now.
- SecretDracula 5mo agoI use firefox and YesterdayForOldReddit for mobile browsing and it's basically the old.reddit experience on mobile.
- legitster 5mo agoQuora has a similarly baffling UI. You're reading one thread trying to find a useful response and it mixes in random answers to other threads. Who the hell thinks this is a good idea? The only thing I can figure out is some "expert" somewhere has data that says there's a small pickup of people coming in from SEO clicking on other random links. But you would have to be such a myopic idiot to think that deliberately confusing users to inflate engagement is a reasonable long term brand strategy.
- kaisadilla_ 5mo agoQuora's UI is just trash. It's hard to realize the answer you are reading is not an answer to the question you have opened and that's an unbelievably stupid thing to get wrong in a website that is all about questions.
- SecretDracula 5mo agoSame. That's part of the appeal of this site. It looks like old reddit.
- sevenf0ur 5mo agoNever forget what Reddit did to the Apollo app
- subscribed 5mo agoTo me it was the day I couldn't use my app anymore.
- baigy 5mo agoTactics to wean more people off the old one? Or just a regular outage?
- downbad_ 5mo agoWe'll find out.

- LocalH 5mo agoSeems to be back up now
- dzhiurgis 5mo agoI just don't get why they don't just put more ads into old reddit? People hate new one, always had. Fix the mobile issue, stuff it with ads and be done with it...
