Hey - criticism will be harsh because your decisions are polarizing. Something to remember is that things that are easy to do happen more frequently. So your decision to promote subreddit listings as the "first clas citizen" of your app is detrimental to peoples primary motivation. Consider your users. When they go to reddit what do they want to do? Look at content mostly it seems. Let them do that first, and perhaps…

I think reddit is easy to comment but 9reddit can help users can check media faster.

Thank you

It was wrong when showing the subreddits link on this topic.

1. going to /r/videos causes firefox to freeze for 10-20 seconds, probably from all the embeds loading at once 2. stickies, in their entirety are always shown. They should be collapsed to just titles to be less obstructive. 3. I get where you're going with the narrow container (enhances readability?) but I never found reddit's wide container to be an issue. 4. voting stuff on the right breaks my workflow[1] 5. 9reddi…

1. yes, I will load youtube images first

2. OK, I agree with you.

3. Yes, it is readable but I don't understand what you mean clearly.

4. No comment :)

5. Redditors hate 9gag contents but they don't hate 9gag design lol

In all seriousness, you ruined the best thing Reddit had going for it. The vast majority of the time I'm using Reddit I just want to be entertained. With what? I don't know, with all the stuff I like and have subscribed to. I want to go to Reddit.com and see a bunch of stuff I like without having to think. That's 99% of the use case. Way to take a crack at it and try to see things differently, but the fact that I hav…

It's just my 2 cents :)

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

Yes, you're right. It's my mistake. Thank you

I'm pretty sure this is a joke, and #5 is the context; The layout of 9gag is very similar to this one.

I thinks the most important that is easy to use. I don't mind it's similar or not

I'll tell you why I love it - it just feels intuitive. I don't even think about where I want to click, it is almost as if the section appears before me before my brain even realizes it. All the fluff / stuff I don't click on or use regularly is hidden, and easily acceptable. A little narrow on my super widescreen desktop monitor but other than that 9/10

Thank you. it makes me more motivation :)

1. doesnt work without javascript 2. lots of space wasted 3. pulling others content vs linking to other websites... reddit is about the comments, not about consuming content on the same page.

1. Yes. Currently, all browsers can support javascript.

2. I have no plan now for these spaces.

3. What you said is similar to what i 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 redd…

I don't improve reddit, just make it easier for busy redditors
