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 :/
Okay, so does anyone wanna talk about the math thingy in the post?
I actually really like the redesign. It looks very modern to me, and the website feels a great deal more responsive.
I think you’re fucking stupid… And / or spez
Well he has a point. It looks cleaner overall. But old.reddit is so much more information-dense that I happily accepted a 20 years old ui. Also rip subreddit css.
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 ;-;
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!
Digg redesign vibes
The day that digg launched that new design was the last day I ever logged into that site. Why do people fuck up things that work?
Yep, same here.
Why do people fuck up things that work?
Depends on what you mean by “work”. If by “work” you mean is enjoyable to use, I understand. If by “work” you mean sustains a business, then no.
It obviously is a sustainable business. What they want to do is fatten the cow before slaughter
It’s obviously not. Because they’ve been reporting losses since it’s inception.
Yeah, but only because Reddit wants to become more than they are! All the coins, nfts (yes, they already sell them), useless functions and redesigns they implemented over the years, while simultaneously giving a shit about what made Reddit useful and interesting. They had a chance to be better than the rest and give us (and by that I mean user who used Reddit often) a way to pay for what we liked but more and more they pushed people like me away with all the convoluted and microtransactiony way to spend money.
Eh, whatever. I like it here better now!
They had a chance to be better than the rest and give us…a way to pay for what we liked
You wouldn’t have paid. No one would have paid. It’s as simple as that. People are happy to pay with their data and their attention, but not with their money, which is why they forced everyone onto their first-party app where they can mine your data and push notifications to keep you engaged, all while ensuring you’re forced to look at their ads.
Not to mention charging AI companies money to mine the information you’ve contributed to their platform that they were previously bypassing via the API.
You wouldn’t have paid
Eh, I don’t pay for Tv or have a lot of subscriptions but I actually pay for YouTube premium because there are channels I follow for more than ten years at this point. And because I know that some of this money goes to the creators (not all, I know) I feel like it’s money well spent for content I actually enjoy. So, with all that said: if Reddit would have given me an option to pay a reasonable amount to browse it on an app of my choice I am pretty sure I would have done that, because some of content and communities were also a part of my life for way longer than ten years.
I can kinda see where you are coming from, though. Not enough people would have paid the way I would have done. People like free stuff. I do too.
The stupidity of the post is so attractive though. Perfect nerd click bait.
It looks like typo and then just keeps going with it.
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.
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.
