Their mistake was keeping the old interface around at all. If they had just killed it off we would have complained about it for a while and then just moved on.
ask Digg how well that worked out...
Don't like this? Try a Reddit alternative like https://ruqqus.com/
When old.reddit.com dies, it’s over.
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.
Here’s a list of alternatives: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/hi97fz/...
I dislike all things "new web". The websites feel like layers upon layers of Javascript, fancy designs that feel like they are responsible for the decreased responsiveness. Styles delegated to the same CSS frameworks that everyone else uses. The rounded corners. Give me plain HTML, minimal CSS, and a template engine any day of the week.
I was really hoping WASM might fill this gap, and it still might, but it'll be a while from what I can tell.
They have also made many of the subreddits not viewable via a mobile browser pushing you to the app, it seems though the blocks go in and out of effect. At some point metrics of a sites app downloads don't mean anything when they make their primary site unusable.
But the web UI, combined with Google AMP, made it unusable.
I’ve gone back to the app but with iOS screen time restrictions.
