Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn't even show the full post. There are 3 of those "trending" boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description

I originally became addicted to Reddit because of how streamlined it was to skim dozens of headlines and pick from lots of content, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide anymore :/

UI is the smallest of all problem about Reddit right now

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Which is saying a lot given that the UI is atrocious

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Eww, I have a plugin to automatically go to old.reddit, so I didn't know they changed it again and made it even worse!

Reminds me of Digg. They turned into a very pretty ghost town.

Wow they seriously did me a favor by kicking me off the site.

Looks like one of those clickbait content websites that pop up on social media. I guess this is what you get when everything is aimed at ad revenue and short term profit. Next logical step, sell the thing to some corpo while is still relevant.

On my machine it doesn’t even take up the whole window. The left column is pushed out to the right, giving less space for actual content. Do they have UX engineers? This is very bad, especially when you can go to the old site and get a ton more info on one page instantly.

[-] solstice@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of yahoo back in the day. Tons of shit on the screen with no actual substance.

[-] Blaubarschmann@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

Okay, so does anyone wanna talk about the math thingy in the post?

Wait, that's the front page? At first I thought it was an individual post page and the complaint was more about all the things surrounding the post. Instead, they take up almost the entire screen to show a single post?

I've always opted out of the new design in settings

[-] CharAhNalaar@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Am I the only one who likes this? It's much better than New Reddit and Old Reddit.

[-] grayman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

You also hang your TP backwards, don't you?!

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

I'm sure you're not alone, but IMO, most of the people on Lemmy are here because they don't like this, and don't like things like this.

I was a long time old.reddit.com user, because even the new interface was really terrible. I couldn't browse comments correctly, after two or three there would be some promoted or related post and I'd have to squint to find the "show more comments" button... It became a cesspool of turds, all cross-linked and bound together in nonsensical ways. 90% of what made Reddit great IMO, was the discussion on every post. The diversity of opinions, additional information, analysis and opinions from every walk of life.... It was glorious.

Karma whoring was prevalent but if you dug through what was posted in the comments, you could see just about any point of view on something.

By comparison, this is clickbait rainbow vomit.

They redesigned it similar to old reddit and lemmy? Wow I can not believe it took years to do it. I really like how it looks on a mobile (I use Boost anyway) and yet to see desktop version.

[-] profdc9@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted;

How can you expect something like a social media website, so recently conceived, to persist in its present form so long? Everything changes so fast. Remember when televisions were these big boxes and there were only three channels?
