Do people actually like all of the overdesigned clutter to the point where it makes them not want to switch sites?
To me, the stripped down clarity on Lemmy is a feature. I remember back in the day when people flocked to Facebook from MySpace, in large part because they were sick of eye gouging customized pages and just wanted a simple, consistent interface. The content, not the buttons to click on it are the draw right?
I do use Lemmy because the whole thing with Reddit just sucked, but holy hell yeah, new Reddit looked so much better. It’s not the world, I can get used to it and it’s fine, but the preference is clear.
What did you like about it? Apart from some rounded corners and extra spacing, I think they made it a lot worse. My least favorite things about it are the nag screen to use the app, the “tap to read replies” button, and the fact that I can’t always tell where the thread ends and the “other stuff you might like” section starts.
images arent opened by default made me use new reddit over old
new reddit is garbage.
I understand and respect that you have a different opinion. People value things differently and think different about stuff, and I mean, that’s nice and human. I personally just think new reddit looks much cleaner and better compared to the old one.
Reddit is ridiculously slow in the last several years. When I click CMD+F to start search I need to wait several seconds because of all the JavaScript running.
