Ask HN: Is “new” Reddit completely unusable for anyone else?

I notice that when browsing Reddit day-to-day I am constantly getting either "Sorry, we couldn't load posts for this page" on a subreddit page or "Cannot load comments" on a thread page. This isn't just happening occasionally, it's been happening daily over the course of weeks.

There's been a lot of hate for the "new" Reddit design but outside of the actual usability of the site, there seems to be some huge problems from a technical perspective.

I've tried multiple browsers, internet connections,VPN enabled/disabled and it's always the same. I now just use https://old.reddit.com, but I'd be interested to hear if other people have the same experience?

It boggles my mind that a redesign could be implemented so poorly on such a popular site.

Not to mention the horrendous CPU usage.

If you're on a mobile device, try appending ".compact" to the URL to get the old mobile version. For example, "https://www.reddit.com/r/cooking/.compact"

I can't stand the new reddit. I always browse the site with https://old.reddit.com/

Just replace www with old.

Never had those problems. I'm not a very dedicated redditor, though, just checking few forums once a few days and reading some topics. The only thing that I hate about reddit is that they want me to install their application on my mobile phone and that application is inferior to browser, so I don't even want to install it and I can't opt out of that warning which appears on every single page.
