old.reddit.com with redditenhancementsuite.com extension is still the best way to browse. I'm impressed that they've kept the old UI for so many years. The usage must be significant to keep it around.

I honestly don't understand how people use reddit using the new UI, or even using the old UI with custom subreddit styles enabled.

I think it's fine on desktop. On mobile while logged out reddit is cancer.

Market volatility doesn't seem to be extraordinarily high right now: https://www.google.com/finance/quote/VIX:INDEXCBOE?safe=off&...

Market predictability is at an extreme low. Rug pulls are happening on a regular basis, and spy is regularly being propped up by a few random, overvalued stocks.

It's being propped up by the Fed, which just announced their QE decision for the next 3 months or so today. That gives plenty time for an IPO.

Congratulations folks! I'll say that Reddit has become one of my favorite sites to visit occasionally and I feel they've earned their success. I honestly feel it is a positive factor in my life, for the little I use it. There's really excellent content to be had, like well moderated educational content at subreddits like r/AskHistorians and r/COVID. I've learned a lot from hobby communities that are hard to find elsewhere (like for pizzamaking).

I also like that they've kept discussions text oriented, instead of allowing for embedded tweets, images, or videos to clog up comment threads (I like this about HN, as well). They might renege on this in the future, but I like the distinctly 2000s feel to discussions.

Will they be banning porn like tumblr? I know they removed it from "All" and then I believe they hid it in other ways. Just wondering when the Digg 4.0 / Tumblr will happen to Reddit. So far it's been a slow burn but I'm waiting for the great purge to bring down the house. It always seems to happen around an IPO.

A strange choice of time, to me. With such intense market volatility, it's easy to both leave money on the table by setting the IPO price too low, or to have trouble selling stock by by setting it too high. OTOH the freshly printed money look for returns, so the stock market is more likely to be bullish even in relatively near term; maybe they are trying to catch this trend?

It’s a great time given the current uncertainty in social networking.

there's been a bit of back and forth in tech lately and there are some signs it is nearing or passing a peak valuation. Get the money while you can and don't look back. Reddit's getting old too

At least Reddit had it's massive downward spiral years ago, no one can blame their current website layout on this.

I'm still using .compact for mobile browsing

I hope they have enough to point to from other instances to show that it's a bad idea.

Reddit already has embedded GIF comments, ie.
