As a 14-year long user, the new Fisher Price UI makes me sad :( What have they done to you, Reddit?

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 :/

Super dumb question, is it possible to switch UI's on reddit? I think on lemmy is (?) 😗

You can still use the old UI, by adding old to the reddit link: old.reddit.com

That feature will probably be gone soon tho

Thanks!!

There are some browser extensions that can do this for you.

Old Reddit Redirect is one I found with a quick search. Also available for Firefox. (I can't remember which extension I use)

or just disable new reddit from old reddit settings, that redirects all regular reddit.com/ reqests to old reddit

yeah there are three uis:

  • sh.reddit.com - default for logged off users, mostly works without js, uses simpler pagination system then new reddit.
  • new.reddit.com - the most bloated one, painfully slow, tracks your every move even with ublock, only accessible for logged in users after the recent update
  • old.reddit.com - good ol' old reddit ui, don't really like it but it's... bearable unlike new reddit (loads instantly). With some CSS userstyles and scripts it's still usable...
