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

You probably violate TOS of Adsense by using ads on content you dont own!

First off, the default landing page should not include NSFW, and when I changed to the SFW tab, because having "cumsluts" in red lettering on my screen isn't considered part of my job, I got NSFW subs in the SFW list, for example /r/WTF.

And everything everyone else said. I hope this is a joke as the name suggests. Reddit actually has good UX, especially with RES added, as it provided content first and is easy to read.

ONe of the biggest mistakes imo is to show the number of subs to a subreddit, this should be hidden within a filter, as most subbed subreddits are not worth much, whereas smaller subs, like linux4noobs, are worth a lot. This design maintains the flotsam and jetsam at the top while keeping hidden the coral reef below, which is the one problem reddit actually needs to fix.

Still, it was a 9gag gag anyway.

another note (not criticism) - its sad to say, but when you get a company like reddit that is YC backed and hard pressed to find new streams of revenue, UX really isn't the front runner when it comes to new design changes.

take 9reddit.com for instance, one thing I just noticed was the lack of "share" button on the front page (under each post.) while this may seem like a minor setting to most, and probably an under-used feature it probably accounts for a very large percentage of traffic over the course of any given day.

so while this newer version may be super intuitive (I think so anyway) easy to use and most of all CLEAN, getting Reddit to actually adopt it is a huge hurdle.

I think most people in the comments don't realize that this seems to be a joke hinting at the deep repulsion of 9gag on reddit (as it's accused of stealing reddit's content). The page looks like 9gag but with the content of reddit --> 9reddit.

Therefore I guess design choices were not made on best usability or with the goal of improving the current reddit layout.

That said I probably won't use it in the future, but it's nicely done :)
