For a viable competitor to Reddit, you only need enough other users to fill a few pages worth of content, so the barrier of entry is much lower than if you wanted to outcompete something like Whatsapp. I mean, Hacker News has like 1% of the number of users that Reddit has, and it's already better.
>Hacker News has like 1% of the number of users that Reddit has, and it's already better. Exactly. I went on reddit for years until the redesign. Now I can’t stand that site. The reddit redesign is so astoundingly bad and nonfunctional it shocks me to this day.
There's a simple browser extension to redirect to old.reddit.com. But I agree that if they ever remove that, I'll leave the site. The redesign is comically worse.

i do think that we re not far from the average redditor.
Given how much content gets pasted here from /r/programming and other tech subreddits, and how much passion there is behind HN's distaste for the redesign, I would bet that many, if not most, HN users are redditors.
Those are a weird minority of subreddits. Look at the front page for a taste of how Reddit is experienced on average.

#134I understand that reddit wants to be the place where bored teens scroll through memes, gifs, news and screenshots from twitter, facebook and 4chan.
But I want nothing to do with any of that. I go for the interesting conversations in 3 tiny subreddits filled with thoughts I don't get to read anywhere else.
Of course I hate the redesign. When I want to browse twitter, I'll just open twitter.

#135Not at ALL. I’ve never seen a single site design repel me more quickly. I depend heavily on the simplicity and information-density of the old design (e.g. being able to pick from a dozen link titles that all fit on screen at once). I also depend on the pinch-to-zoom simplicity of focusing on exactly what I want, which only works well in the “normal” web pages of the old design. The new “design” breaks everything that…
The site is horrific. I only read reddit with Antenna, an iOS app with decent navigation because of it.

#136It’s amazingly bad. It’s bad for text, media, commenting, following users, etc.
Other than sort of looking like GMail, I cannot imagine what drove the folks behind it. It’s almost Reddit and Tumblr are in a race to product the worst 2000s era social website ever.

Reddit has gone through many changes both in the product and the organization.. I feel like its initial purpose/mission has been lost in the way that it was intended as an open space to share things. I do absolutely hate the redesign and hate having to type the URL out.. the redesign is more tedious and eats up data like mad
You can set a preference in your user settings to prefer the old design and automatically get that on any reddit link you click.
it still randomly switch to new design once in a while. a refresh fixes it.

> I’m actually surprised that, historically, Digg died for much smaller redesign “sins”, and I think it was primarily because Reddit was an alternative.
if you use reddit mostly on mobile then there are many unofficial apps to use, and some people might not even notice the redesign.

#139I MUCH prefer it. I've been using reddit daily for just under a decade.
Re: Ask HN: Do you like/use Reddit's redesign?
#140Hate it. I use the old. The new one is very slow here and pops up errors that it cannot load posts and then it they appear anyway etc. It's dynamic loading taken way too far. Just give me static pages preloaded please and, if you must, update things dynamically, but that's not really a must anyway.
