Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn’t even show the full post. There are 3 of those “trending” boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description
I originally became addicted to Reddit because of how streamlined it was to skim dozens of headlines and pick from lots of content, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide anymore :/
I mean if I wanted to say something positive, I actually like it more than their previous “new age” UI, but mostly because unlike that one, this no longer lags as badly. It’s still way too much JS and way too large images, but at least it feels they found a single web dev or something and let them do an hour of work.
Design is a subjective thing, I don’t like it but I also didn’t like the one of the previous one so that’s a wash. But at least this one works somewhat better.
Yeah I am just having a look on my phone and it runs smoother than the “old new” design for me. The “classic” view it defaults to isn’t bad either.
It does not show the OP on the front page until you go into the comments or a subreddit, and for whatever reason has the comments button open a new tab which I don’t like.
With a few tweaks, I’d hapilly use it if I had to. I’d always prefer old reddit’s design though.
