Happened to me a few days ago, and I just can't believe how bad this redesign is!!

It's hard to comprehend what goes into the heads of that dev team, but they basically ruined everything nice about the platform. The API changes were pretty much a fatal shot already, but this new redesign seems to be what tipped the scales for me, and hopefully many more.

It's a great time to switch to Lemmy, and I think I'm going to make the effort to stick around and abandon the habit of opening reddit multiple times per day.

Do you think forcing this re-design will bring more people here? I'm hoping for that. Reddit betrayed us and I can't find it me to keep forgiving them for every horrible, anti-user decision.

I noticed in some moderator subreddit, that it is planned to kill new.reddit.com as well. Old will likely stay for longer, but new is what I got used to, and if they take it down I won't bother getting used to the newer, garbage UX.

So now there's a NewNew Reddit? That IPO is getting ever closer, guess they'll be thrashing around all the harder in the lead up to that to try to show some kind of path to profitability.

Yeh try opening reddit in incognito w/o logging in. It's basically a mobile design, but now for desktop as well. They haven't even implemented Compact mode. It's unreal. Half of it is wasted space, and it looks so green. Baby vomit vibes.

Can't even view it because I'm using a VPN.

Which should tell you enough, tbh.

Huh. Kinda looks like the front page of twitter. I hate it. I mean, I don't go to reddit anymore unless I'm forced to Google something and even then I gotta turn off my VPN first, but still. Yuck.

Wait even if you go to old.reddit.com?

Edit: old still seems to be fine

[-] Debrox@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Old is fine, and the 2nd redesign is currently at new.reddit.com (but it's possible it could be gone at some point).

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 21 points 8 months ago

"How do we get rid of old reddit?"

"Make a new new reddit, and the make new reddit old reddit."

"Promote this man."

[-] yukichigai@kbin.social 12 points 8 months ago

You can see it by going to sh.reddit.com. A lot of people are getting forced to this if they try to use new.reddit.

old.reddit supposedly remains unaffected, so if you use that domain specifically you should be fine. Assuming the Admins aren't lying.

Soon old.old.reddit
