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.

I actually like the new new Reddit more than the new Reddit that preceded it. Maybe an unpopular opinion. Although I haven't had time to use it that much yet.

The first week or two of ditching the habit of opening reddit is the hardest, but speaking from experience, it gets easier with time.

I kind of like it more than the current new redesign. It seems to make better use of horizontal space, it doesn't leave black bars. However, I haven't tried it on 16:9 screen, but a 20:9.
What I don't like is lack of Markdown editor. That new(2) editor is even wose than FancyPants editor of new(1). There's just three options: GIF (works), Image (worked after spamming it like 100 times) and "T" which is probably for text editing (doesn't work at all).

Anyway, am I the only or does it feel like X?

Disclaimer: I haven't tried using it, I just checked it for 3 minutes now.

I don't see /r/windows10 and/r/windows11 doing that well here.

https://new.reddit.com/

whaat? They changed like nothing at all. Where is the redesign? The current UI is garbage, but the new one is equally as bad

On Firefox mobile when I click in to a post now the comment dialog has like 10 characters width max.

If I scroll down at all in a nested chain it quickly goes to 1 character lol

If I refresh then it somewhat goes back to normal.

Welcome and please stay on Lemmy. It’s what reddit used to be and only improves every month the more people come here.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 8 months ago

Who cares. I'm over here now.

[-] itscozydownhere@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I like the redesign

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

So is old reddit dead? Like old.reddit.com?

[-] turmacar@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

No it's still there. Not sure what they're on about unless it's some A/B testing.

The opt-out is also still there in the user settings page. (Though phrased.... poorly. Probably on purpose.)
