I agree. The new UI is utterly obnoxious on mobile - they keep trying to force me to use the app, including making it impossible to read the rest of a forum without using the app instead. It's horrible.

#12Are we sure this is intentional and not a recent bug? I feel like I've seen gallery sets before on the old UI.
It was working until a few hours ago. Probably just a bug.

I assume it's a bug. This 1 hour old image gallery is doing fine.

It's obnoxious on a giant screen, too. I get 10 headlines on the old version, but the new version only shows me one story -- so much scrolling.

#16It would be called "classic" instead of "old" if it wasn't something they actively wanted to kill.

If you're on Android, I can't recommend RedReader enough [1] . It's open source and customisation (also installable via F-Droid). I browse with a compact display and thumbnails turned off.

As someone who spends too much time on reddit, I do hope they do that soon, so that the UX disaster of the new interface discourages me from spending more than 2 minutes per day there..

#19Member.cash works as a pretty good replacement for reddit. Public platform rather than a private platform too.

#20Their video player is probably one of the worst I've experienced. It [1] requires me to hit play twice to get a video to actually play almost 100% of the time. [2] the audio frequently defaults to max, then adjusts to the level I've previously selected. [3] It frequently auto plays if I've scrolled down the feed a ways, and [4] frequently only plays 50% of the video and restarts or locks up.
