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 :/
You're viewing a single thread.
At first glance I thought it was youtube.
Is the old.reddit.com still usable or is that fucked up too?
old.reddit.com is still kickin it. No talk I've heard of to get rid of it yet. The second it's gone I'm gone.
In case you didn't know and for everyone else that prefers the old UI there is a clone for lemmy.
https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
lemmy.world has it installed at https://old.lemmy.world. The creator has it running at https://mlmym.org/ for other instances that don't have it installed.
Wow that's pretty accurate.
Wow, I never knew that was a thing! Old Reddit style Lemmy needs to be brought up more.
It was on the front page of lemmy.world for a bit.
It doesn't have some modern conveniences like the ability to block just FYI to those reading along at home. It's pretty bit it's not as functional as many others.
Same for https://old.lemmy.zip /
Old Reddit is Reddit. If they get rid of it, I'm sure as fuck not sticking around for this new site. It looks like Bing and Youtube had a deformed little monster-child.
It seems they recently fucked up something with i.redd.it handling - opening image links from old reddit always redirects to https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/media/nice_hat/ for a few days now.
No that's intentional. They no longer allow direct i.redd.it image linking, it forces a redirect to a landing page that is either old.reddit if you're logged in and force it, or new reddit with a "get the app, doofus" nag screen for anyone not logged in.
They didn't want anyone using Reddit as an image hosting service or - God forbid! - viewing Reddit content without delivering every ounce of their personal data and ad revenue to Spez.
It's ironic because i.reddit links work perfectly fine to repost content on Lemmy
Well it hasn't worked for inline embeds for me for a hot minute. You can still browse to it of course, but now you have to open a new tab and deal with the "GET APP!!!" pop-ups every 3 seconds.
yeah same here... I was like, youtube has text posts now?
Text posts on YouTube are pretty nice though. I like that people can post channel updates like saying there's gonna be a delay on a video or something without having to film and post a video to do so.
