Don't forget that this abomination was made by a paid team of programmers.
Wasn't it originally Alien Blue but Reddit bought it out and like all corporate tech companies that subsume smaller entities, they fucking ruined it?
Yup. I used to use Alien Blue heavily and the UI tweaks that Reddit did to it made it a subpar experience from what it was from the start. I preferred the greater information density, I didn’t need to see the thumbnail images as large as they were, it made poor use of space on the iPad, and I couldn’t swipe back and forth anymore. I continued to use Alien Blue as long as I could and then switched to Apollo.
Same for the "new Reddit" website. It's garbage. I exclusively use old.reddit and have since the beginning, on desktop and on mobile. If that goes away I'm done. I like Lemmy, but honestly old Reddit has a better interface. I wish Lemmy didn't confine itself to 50% of the screen width, it's a stupid modern design trend and I hate it. At least give us a wide Lemmy option.
I used new Reddit for, like, a week, before getting fed up with its sluggishness and switched back to old Reddit.
