If you email hn@ycombinator.com and ask, you might get back a more accurate approximation of newest URL hits by uniqueIP over time. That'll have it's own set of issues, but could be of interest for numberwang fans to compare against limited self selected poll data.

I was going to comment I've never seen this before. Then I went to a subreddit and it hit me that I only use old reddit, which lacks the "best" feature. I'm not sure why people tolerate the new reddit website. It is so slow, busy, and chock full of ads. When I open it on the phone you are straight up missing a lot of discussion comments, so it is broken too. You click a comment it looks like it has no subcomments und…
I prefer the new design because the text is readable on my phone, and it has a native dark mode. I don't see any of the ads because I use an ad blocker. Also, I have no idea what you mean about the comments thing. I can immediately see all comments other than the ones that have been collapsed due to having negative karma.

The funny thing is that all the reasons you listed to use the new design... existed before in basically any 3rd party app.
I only have "new" here, and not "newest". Am I missing something?
The URL is /newest. I'm a little confused by there being multiple people in the comments who are confused by this. They're basically the same word, and even if they weren't, you only have to look at the URL bar to see "newest". I know it's an unimportant phenomenon for me to be commenting on, but it strikes me as unusual.
Anyway… the URL first becomes visible once you hover over the link (assuming a browser that shows the link target)/ or click on the "New" entry. If you don't know beforehand that the "New" link turns into a "newest" URL… one only can make an educated guess. Sure, I assumed it may be the same, but could have been there's some actual more obscure "Newest" somewhere too… the way the question / poll was asked it didn't feel like this was about the first top most link on the site. Hence my query for proper clarification.
Hope that clears it up. :-)

I still use old.reddit.com on the phone. Works fine with pinch and zoom. Super performant too, loads in a fraction of the time which is necessary with mobile connections and spotty coverage. I just saw the native reddit app for ios at least is like 450mb. WTF...

I agree, and I previously used a 3rd party app myself (Reddit Is Fun). The sad thing is that I actually completely understand why they shut down the free API access. The AI bot scrapers are absurdly aggressive, and bandwidth isn't free.

I don't know how else to describe it beyond what I've already done. Are you sure you are seeing all the comments? Have you tested with a post? I don't use the app fwiw. Only tested with the mobile website and it has been like this for years. I still use old.reddit.com on the phone. Works fine with pinch and zoom.

I don't use the native apps. They are bloated, disgusting messes. I just messed around with old.reddit and compared it to new reddit for around thirty minutes. I noticed no performance differences, and I noticed no discrepancy in comments. I don't know what to tell you. The only time I see fewer comments is when I use an incognito window, but that's just because it's not logged in.
I open this link on my iphone and I only see the top comment by /u/TallGreenhouseGuy. Below that comment, there is a link to "more replies" but it loads this exact same page with only the parent comment, no child comments. Below the parent comment, is just random reddit threads, absolutely random, along with ads. Top 3: post from /r/ghanacitizen (I am not in africa no clue how that is there....), ad from cerave for oil control shampoo, then a link to some thread in /r/learnprogramming.

This link however works fine and returns the all the child comments I was missing in that first link.
