Seems more performant than the existing non-old Reddit, particularly when loading comments. The font size and styles look like a committee decision at Microsoft, though.

I’m happy to see it’s less intrusive. I may actually be able to use their site again.

All in all, doesn’t look too bad at all.

Edit: ah I didn’t look at the comment page yet. There’s still a super intrusive banner prompting you to switch to the app there.

just do what all the rest of us do and use old.reddit.com instead.

On my current Reddit[1] I can see five posts per screen on my phone. On this version, I can see 2 and a half. That’s a huge downgrade, particularly from the old-old Reddit where I could get 6-8.

Otherwise it looks fine. I wish they’d ditch the stupid app promos already. That absolutely reeks of one team maximizing a KPI to the detriment of the org as a whole.

[1] old new in card view I think?

i.reddit.com is still better for me than anything they released after that. Loads faster than any app I tried as well.

Reddit appears to believe because you can scan a lot of content at once, you're going to ignore their inline ads.

Which is correct.

Any more details on this or how you found it? I haven't seen this mentioned before and I can't find any details about it on the reddit site. It seems extremely incomplete (can't even log in) so I'm not sure this is even meant to be indicative of what they'll actually be doing.

It seems to have been in the works since mid-2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210618170609/https://sh.reddit...

A Reddit employee told some moderators at an event and the information eventually reached me.

So I can watch a gif from the feed, but when I try to read the comments it’s “mature content” and for some reason I must use the app, as if watching it through the app un-matured it. Still the same garbage that’s pushing me away from their site

zamadatix2• 4 years ago

I wouldn't read that deep into it. This seems like an alpha/MVP that isn't even supposed to be used yet. E.g. it can't even be logged into (which is probably the root of your mature content issue).

Is this a joke? How can you see a dense list of links or posts like in the old reddit?

Old.reddit.com

Did they dump react? The current site is such a resource hog it kills my old pc every time I browse things there in more than 2 tabs. This new one performs quite well, looks like the bloat is no more.

They did and replaced it with Lit (www.lit.dev) as far as I know which probably explains why it at least doesn’t feel like such a slugish piece of shit anymore.

Still a bunch of other problems but the performance side feels great at least.

My i7 is able to scroll it, I guess that's progress.

Elon Musk probably has his hands tied, but there’s got to be another controversial billionaire out there who can buy Reddit to force its community to migrate elsewhere.

I like that there are so many official reddit clients available at once:

  reddit.com — react
  old.reddit.com — jquery
  sh.reddit.com — lit, tailwind
  i.reddit.com — backbone.js, jquery

Any others?
