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…
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.
