Happened to me a few days ago, and I just can't believe how bad this redesign is!!

It's hard to comprehend what goes into the heads of that dev team, but they basically ruined everything nice about the platform. The API changes were pretty much a fatal shot already, but this new redesign seems to be what tipped the scales for me, and hopefully many more.

It's a great time to switch to Lemmy, and I think I'm going to make the effort to stick around and abandon the habit of opening reddit multiple times per day.

Do you think forcing this re-design will bring more people here? I'm hoping for that. Reddit betrayed us and I can't find it me to keep forgiving them for every horrible, anti-user decision.

I noticed in some moderator subreddit, that it is planned to kill new.reddit.com as well. Old will likely stay for longer, but new is what I got used to, and if they take it down I won't bother getting used to the newer, garbage UX.

Unless a larger portion of the userbase migrates, Reddit will get to do what they want to. Unfortunately the landed gentry/toxic mods are going to do what they can to keep them there too, including modding out any info posts about alternatives.

I like the redesign

I would not care, if the new UI wasn't that buggy and laggy.

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 2 points 1 year ago

I wish they would just understand that all they need is a simple lightweight layout with ways to sort post and threads.

No "more" buttons and no fancy scripts. Just load the page and maybe have people make some comments without reloading the page, but that's it. We need less internet traffic and less resource usage. I should be able to visit a forum board like reddit with the same pentium 1 pc I used to visit invision forums on dialup back in the day.

It's awful. I actually didn't mind new Reddit. But they switched my account to new new Reddit and I changed my bookmarks to go to old Reddit. I'll try to stay for as long as there are good discussions but this cursed design is bursting with "know-nothing middle manager" energy.

Even old.reddit.com is broken now, where clicking links takes you to the ugly-ass new reddit design instead of just opening up the post so you see the full image/link with the comments.

Is that what caused the sidebar to disappear, then. I spent hours optimizing it

Agree even reddit is killing the new.reddit.com ui
