Ngl after Apollo shut down I tried the website and I hate how every time you finish looking at a post and decide to go back to the feed it throws you back to the top meaning you have to scroll all the way back down to where you originally was
Certainly not any of the main changes made by the new Reddit UI. Except maybe the collapse thread buttons being long, vertical bars. That was a good idea.
To clarify: I also use RES, so that’s what I’m thinking of when I say old.reddit.
Old.reddit is reddit from a time when it was designed with user experience in mind, rather than trend chasing and maximizing ad placement.
I’ve heard that the reason old.reddit is still supported is because new reddit can’t run without it. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if the developers of new reddit were pushed to rush something out to meet demands from higher up, and therefore didn’t make something clean and severable. I mean, we’re talking about a site whose video player wants to load every resolution at once on every video you scroll past in an infinite feed, my expectations aren’t terribly high.
Does it work in +18 subs too? I tried to see a comment thread In a post of a LGBTQ subreddit, but the post/sub (idk what one) was flagged as mature content, that requires an account to login and read, and I wasn’t able to read them.
It was about gender symbols! Not p*rn, before someone ask…
I remember when floppies where called floppy because they were huge and floppy (that’s what she said). Before the hard shell smaller floppies became a thing.
I think in the later dying days of the floppy disk, the manufacturers made them with really poor quality. It used to be in earlier years, say the 8-bit years when floppy disks were still floppy, that the disks could keep your data for years if you treated them like vinyl records and never touched the magnetic surface.
In the late years, I’ve seen floppy disks that failed almost immediately.
Had a teacher one time draw a grid on her whiteboard with a space for each student, and she asked us to place our disks with our projects on the board with a magnet (so we wouldn’t lose them). The school had recently gotten rid of the old dusty chalkboard, and was really enamored with her new whiteboard and showing off her fridge magnet collection.
Luckily, someone pointed out why that was a bad idea before anyone did it, and she quickly changed her mind.
