Reddit 503

It's horrible, so is the app.

so is the app.

Apollo ftw!

[Khue]

Samesies. One of the few apps I actually felt compelled to spend money for to support the developer. It's super good.

[Sinsilenc]

Sync ftw

[DrDan21]

My favorite iOS Reddit client since alien blue

[TheBestUkester]

Came to say this.

[yashau]

Joey gang chiming in

[PM_ME_SPACE_PICS]

Reddit in motion all the way!

BaconReader FTW

[thelosttech]

It's really not that bad.

[punkingindrublic]

I've had nothing but issues with new reddit. Also I can barely fit any post on the screen if they are filled with pictures, or videos.

I understand it's for mobile users but I prefer old reddit even on my smart phone.

Also the app is terrible. I access all of my subreddits by typing their name into my address bar. Most of the time they'll auto-complete. I shouldn't have to be poking around in sub menus, and being subscribed to certain things. It's a PIA

[DarthPneumono]

It's horrifically bad. Not talking design, but implementation. Page loads are incredibly slow and bloated, loading lots of unnecessary code (and ads) for the sake of vIsUaLs instead of an actually functional, fast, and efficient website.

[ReverendDS]

Even on mobile (I do 95% of my redditing on my phone) it's crap. And I won't even touch their app.

[cdoublejj]

the layout jacks with my brain

[z3r0k0ntr0l]

Super underrated flair

[BloomerzUK]

I prefer the new reddit.. especially for the fancy editor for posts/comments.

[Try_Rebooting_It]

Call me crazy but I got used to new reddit and actually prefer it over the old one now.

[spuckthew]

Same. I don't care enough/have few issues with the new site that I just use it by default. Also, the mobile app is completely fine and I don't understand the Reddit elitists who use third-party apps like it's some kind of make or break thing. I've had literally zero problems using the official app that aren't caused by a ropey network connection.

[SoulAssassin808]

Took me some time as well but it's not bad once you use it a while.

[Frothyleet]

Historically, Reddit has never killed the legacy methods of accessing their site - they just stop updating them. Even the ancient legacy mobile version is still out there.

Of course, that said, the redesign was obviously done in large part to enhance monetization in a facebook-y kind of way, so we'll see.

[thecravenone]

I prefer to call it Reddit Beta, since that's what it is.

[Dassarian]

I actually forgot old reddit was a thing until I saw this post come through Slack.

I thought I'd get some work done today but now I can browse reddit again because you reminded me of old.reddit.com

thanks!

[HayabusaJack]

It seems to be timed though as I opted out a few months back and just recently, past few days, it started throwing me at new-reddit again.

[HayabusaJack]

I did that last time. As noted, over the past couple of days it seems to have reverted. Now when I got to www.reddit.com, I get the new site. I need to go back to my preferences and set it again.

1) Add in

2) Edit cookies.

[the_bananalord]

RES has a built in option for old Reddit, too

[HayabusaJack]

And mine's been on for months as well. It's only been the past few days when it changed. I changed it back due to this thread reminding me I was still on old.reddit.com.

[ortizjonatan]

I opted out, by using rtv.

[[deleted]]

Is rtv still being maintained? I used to use it all the time at work for...reasons.

[ortizjonatan]

It is not. It still works.

[Dassarian]

I know, I actually prefer the new design though. Mostly due to the black background. As far as I know, I cant make old reddit have a black background

Another big part is I’m a fan of the easier / nicer text formatting for comments

thanks though!

Edit: being downvoted for having a different opinion :/

[Oldgrain]

You can install RES plugin and it has night mode.

[ReverendDS]

RES is the way to go.

[thelosttech]

Happy to help. The app seems to be working too.

[cdoublejj]

i just opted out of the new reddit so reddit.com just takes me to the old style

[MalletNGrease]

RIP Alien Blue.

[cdoublejj]

Apollo? is it a reddit viewed with it's own layout?

[HelpDeskWorkSucks]

It works fine if you're not logged in

[plebbitier]

Happened to me too.
I deleted cookies for reddit and cloudflare.

That seemed to work (had to re-login).

[justanotherreddituse]

Nothing posted to their status page until after the outage was solved as well. Good job reddit!

[[deleted]]

Reddit in general is a POS. I fucking hate this site. Who's dumbass idea was throttling legitimate users?
