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 :/
Wow that’s pretty horrible.
It’s amazing what you miss due to 10 years of browsing with RIF and RES as mandatory installs
“miss”
I think Reddit doesn’t realize that what made their UI so appealing was precisely that it felt really functional and bare bones, like Craigslist still does or Google used to. As if it was designed by nerds who just wanted the most functional site. It makes it seem more trustworthy and neutral, less monetized.
This redesign looks painfully corporate.
I used RIF for the longest time and I just can’t with the official app. It’s already awful and if that’s what the website looks like now then the app will have a worse UI soon.
You guys are still using Reddit?
Also i need talklittle to either port rif or make it open source so we can port it ourselves ;-;
Unfortunately he is making it for tildes, a platform run by a single admin who bans people who have discussions about difficult topics
Yeah that’s what I’ve seen too, I don’t know why he chose tildes? It’s not talked about, like at all. Seems like a big chunk of his userbase came over here
The admin there who owns the place seems to want to keep it small, so yes no clue why he is making his app over there at this point. It’s clear the owner of tildes doesn’t want the place to grow. He just wants a bunch of people circle jerking each other in their echo chamber.
I use Connect and it is the closest thing to RIF. Over the last few weeks the app has improved a ton.
+1 for connect from another RIF migrant here.
Ooo, I’ll have to check it out. I’m on Jerboa, which is good but I miss the buttons for snappy movements between comments that rif had the most
How do I send you and the developer $5
The devs info is in this post: https://lemmy.ca/post/2614066 . There is a link to “send him a coffee”. I don’t need the cash, so give my $5 to them. ;)
I check in on one specific community and feel sad that the users are still there. But one of them signed up here today so there is hope!
I was being a little cheeky, I get it. I have a personal feed of reddit posts that get pulled from the subs i miss without me needing to visit the site.
The migration will be slow, but hopefully steady! Honestly, the lack of content kinda sucks but its much higher quality and the discussions here are way more personal which is really nice.
Any tips how you pull stuff to read out of Reddit? RSS or something else?
I wrote a python script that uses the API (unauthenticated), it’s still in early stages right now but I intend to clean it up over the coming days and then publish it on GitHub – I’ll send you a link when i do :)
That would be great! Thanks!
Still use reddit and twitter for sports news and updates and a few fringe topics and I read only. Shut down my reddit account around 2019 and only have a twitter account because its a pain to view stuff if not logged in. Have never posted anything there.
I think when companies that originally offered something unique and desirable get large enough, they necessarily lose touch with what made them indispensable. Dollar signs lead to a notion of growth that summons a many-tentacled cocaine-caked Moloch of feature creep, tech bandwagon hopping, information siloing, data harvesting, advertiser worshiping, and corporate evil that is, at best, indifferent to user experience, but more typically actively antagonistic to it.
We are no longer their target audience, they don’t care what made it appealing to us. They are trying to position themselves as being the same as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook.
At first glance I thought it was youtube.
Is the old.reddit.com still usable or is that fucked up too?
old.reddit.com is still kickin it. No talk I’ve heard of to get rid of it yet. The second it’s gone I’m gone.
In case you didn’t know and for everyone else that prefers the old UI there is a clone for lemmy.
https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
lemmy.world has it installed at https://old.lemmy.world. The creator has it running at https://mlmym.org/ for other instances that don’t have it installed.
Wow that’s pretty accurate.
Same for https://old.lemmy.zip /
It doesn’t have some modern conveniences like the ability to block just FYI to those reading along at home. It’s pretty bit it’s not as functional as many others.
Old Reddit is Reddit. If they get rid of it, I’m sure as fuck not sticking around for this new site. It looks like Bing and Youtube had a deformed little monster-child.
It seems they recently fucked up something with i.redd.it handling - opening image links from old reddit always redirects to https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/media/nice_hat/ for a few days now.
No that’s intentional. They no longer allow direct i.redd.it image linking, it forces a redirect to a landing page that is either old.reddit if you’re logged in and force it, or new reddit with a “get the app, doofus” nag screen for anyone not logged in.
They didn’t want anyone using Reddit as an image hosting service or - God forbid! - viewing Reddit content without delivering every ounce of their personal data and ad revenue to Spez.
It’s ironic because i.reddit links work perfectly fine to repost content on Lemmy
Well it hasn’t worked for inline embeds for me for a hot minute. You can still browse to it of course, but now you have to open a new tab and deal with the “GET APP!!!” pop-ups every 3 seconds.
yeah same here… I was like, youtube has text posts now?
Text posts on YouTube are pretty nice though. I like that people can post channel updates like saying there’s gonna be a delay on a video or something without having to film and post a video to do so.
Bro what in the msn.com is this
Hahaha
If it was Fischer-Price, it would be colorful. This is just the sort of bland, generic website UI you see everywhere
Ie. An easily censorable ui, it’s for Chinese interests.
Remember, people complained Windows XP was a Fisher-Price OS. I don’t think this redesign will affect Reddit long-term, unfortunately.
Honestly, I would take the look of Windows XP over the look of Windows 10/11 or current MacOS. Of course, I’m on Linux, so I actually can do that
Of course, I’m on Linux, so I actually can do that
On an unrelated note, meet my daily driver!
(Complete with sounds, boot screen and login screen.)
She’s dead. Move on, friend
the nostupidquestions post is so extremely stupid lmao
Probably AI generated
It’s not. It’s a common mathematical fallacy stumbled upon by crackpots who think they’re geniuses and have found a fundamental problem with math.
There’s a math professor at Harvard who gets sent this “proof” like once a month.
The fallacy here is the 1- in front of the limit. 0.999… = lim_n->∞{1-1/n} = 1-lim_n->∞{1/n} = 1-0 = 1, which simply proves that 0.999… = 1
Yeah, am I the only one who wants to track down that post and tell them how stupid they are?
I’d rather not use Reddit anymore
Looks like they copied youtubes front page.
Hard to build a good looking website with just 2000 employees
The worst part is that the Lemmy photon ui (m.lemmy.zip) is also modern looking, just way more practical (also has settings to make it less padded)
Legit thought you were on YouTube.
It looks like a news site from 2012, and it actually looks like it’s trying to imitate digg lol
Seriously me too!! I was paying more attention to the TV show I was watching and was wondering what was so remarkable about the same old YouTube layout. I had to wait for it to end to really look at the picture DAYUMN it looks like YouTube. Wtf reddit what a weird thing to copy
So stop using it. Ffs, this place circle jerks over how bad that place is, and then you dumb mother fuckers keep going back. Move on already.
Eh. it’s one thing always talking about Reddit in more general communities, but this is a Reddit community.
The magazine is called ‘Reddit’… what are you doing here if you’re tired of hearing about it?
Getting news about Reddit and ideally its downfall is why I’m here. Reading people complain about it and then turn around and support it is not. Initially I subbed to this right after I left to see what was happening without going back. Now it’s often just a bunch of idiots jerking each other off while redditing.
you read?
this community is specifically about reddit, like we talk about reddit here
go to some other community and ignore this one
… but then how are they going to complain about Reddit?
or complain about the people complaining about Reddit.
So, everyone who didn’t choose to abandon the platform you yourself admit to have been using until recently, at the exact time that you decided was appropriate to abandon it completely, is an idiot? I think you should try to recalibrate your attitude regarding things like this my friend. That’s an unnecessarily harsh way to view other people’s choices IMO. It poisons the conversation, but more importantly, it poisons your own mood.
I haven’t been back since June 12th so I get what you’re saying but the name of this mag is reddit, it seems like an appropriate place to talk about it.
What? I will always use reddit as long as it has good content that I can’t find elsewhere. Still spend lots of time here to help Lemmy grow and make it eventually get better than reddit.
Oh, believe me, my usage has dropped by around 95%
The fact that crypto is listed on the side makes me wanna bump my head on the wall.
The whole thing in general looks like a mobile app stretched to fit on a monitor. I mean, that’s how most websites are in 2023.
A lot of apps are also just web wrappers for a mobile site… It’s obvious with some apps, others are a bit harder to see, but it’s there.
Low effort app developing.
I absolutely thought this was YouTube.
Wtf.
If pages like this don’t tell you “What’s Hot” how the fuck do you propose we find out what is hot?
Ask Paris Hilton
Or just look up her video.
I was thinking Yahoo
O_o
that looks like youtube. is that how non old.reddit looks like?
Well at least it’s better than the previous layout that squished everything into the center and had a ton of dead space on the sides.
It looks like YouTube now. But with text. lol
Precisely what it reminded me of, I think the way they should’ve gone is modernising the way they show dozens of post per scroll.
