Show HN: New interface for Reddit – What do you think?

What currently happens on reddit: the user (1) opens reddit (2) reads a page of titles without minimal scrolling, and (3) opens links that interest them. What happens with your design: the user (1) opens reddit and has to click through a directory, (2) has to scroll aggressively to go through content, and (3) is forced to look at everything. I'm not sure this is an improvement.

Also, two of the best things about reddit are its content density and assumed intelligence of the user. Where sites like Facebook spend hours picking the right icon at the right size for the laziest of users, reddit shows the relevant links and info about each post as a small row of text. These seem like (good) intentional design choices to me.

I get it's fun to design these "alternate interfaces" and I'll state emphatically that there's nothing wrong at all with doing so. reddit just isn't broken in any ways this fixes.

The reason why this doesn't work is because the front page of reddit chooses based on the community what the most interesting posts are at that moment in time.

There is nothing like this here. I have to click on a subreddit, of which I know nothing about, and then the content may or may not be relevant or entertaining.

That's simply not what reddit is.

I actually kinda like it, for subreddit discovery I think it's a decent way to go about it.

The waste of space makes me wonder how it'd feel in a grid layout instead of one big column. Maybe throw some bootstrap on there, add some rows and col-lg-3 classes to the posts and it might feel a little better. What's your goal with this?

Just browse / instead of /subreddits to see frontpage content. Not sure why this thread links to /subreddits.
