Re: Ask HN: Do you like/use Reddit's redesign?
#92Interesting, I just closed Reddit while complaining in my head about how poor the experience is: - You can't seem to persist the "old reddit" design any more. It keeps switching you back to the new design - It's just much slower to load content. The old site was fairly snappy - Comment are CONSTANTLY failing to load in most of the threads I open - The autoscroll is also regularly failing to load new items - Using the…
Just so you know, there's this[1] firefox addon that always force the redirection to old.reddit.com. I imagine there's a similar thing for chrome. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-re...
You don't even have to do that.
On reddit, go to your preferences. Down under beta test you'll find "Use the redesign as my default experience"
Disable it.

#93I hate the new design. Not because it's new, but because it took everything I liked about Reddit (i.e. easy to read, no flashy design, FAST) and threw it out the window for a slow error-prone POS SPA app. I also hate the fact that when I follow links to Reddit from anywhere, e.g. Twitter, Slack, I see the new design and have to manually change the domain to old.reddit.com, even though my account settings are set to a…
On reddit, go to your preferences. Down under beta test you'll find "Use the redesign as my default experience". Deselect it.
Now, even if you're following links from elsewhere, you'll get the "old" experience. No need to go to "old.reddit.com" any more.

#94I saw Anand Mariappan (snr. dir. eng. at Reddit) speak at the Landing Festival Berlin last week. I was amused to note that both he and the organisers of the conference touted his management of the redesign as a highlight of his career. I do not use Reddit often, but I detest the new design.

#95All growth-minded websites eventually decide to go to war with their users. This usually happens right before they die.
Re: Ask HN: Do you like/use Reddit's redesign?
#96Absolute worst unnecessary redesign! Reddit's charm was its simplicity and information density on a single screen. The new redesign has completely gutted it and made everything worse.
I ONLY use https://old.reddit.com/ to access the site now.

#97I dislike the redesign very much.
I've made a very simple open source extension to automatically redirect all reddit.com and www.reddit.com links to old.reddit.com.

#98Shameless plug, since I didn't get much feedback when shared previously [0]...if anyone wants to check out another alternative to browsing reddit:

#99>I also notice that old reddit randomly logs me out or "forgets" to use the classic design.
This was happening to me too. I've switched to a add on to FF that forces everything reddit to old.reddit.com
I feel like the redesign wasn't for "Us". It was for those people used to a Facebook like feed. People that enjoy or easily digest pictures and videos more than they do words.
I have a friend that uses RES to view all images on the page. And basically scrolls past any threads that would have a text title. Doesn't even read the title unless an image catches his eye. And never EVER reads the comments. I feel like the redesign was for people like that.

#100Sidebars are totally gone. There are subs I _only visit_ for the information in their sidebar and wiki, both of which are gone, as far as I can tell, in the redesign. Also, I use reddit the most in bed, on my phone. It is a great aggregation service for news and interesting articles, but they have intentionally slowed down their website and regularly make it worse and more annoying in an effort to force users to use…
Both the sidebar an wiki are available in the redesign.
