I don't see Old Reddit lasting long. They've cut beloved features before, and they're still calling New Reddit a "beta feature". After they've pumped enough resources into developing it, I'm sure they'll move past the "test" phase and just cut Old Reddit out entirely. That's probably going to be Lemmy's next big user surge.

Does Reddit suppress mentioning Lemmy? I remember for a while this past June 2023 there were a lot of auto-deletions for mentioning or linking to Lemmy. I was never clear on who was deleting things and where. I guess linking to the r/Lemmy subreddit (or a fediverse sub) could work as long as the subreddit doesn't get banned.

I honestly can't see how anyone can stand the not-old reddit.

I removed all the clutter (banners, useless top/side bars, achievements, avatars etc.) from new Reddit using a bunch of filters in uBlock Origin. Now the interface looks pretty clean and the actual content uses the whole screen width and most of its height without unnecessary distractions.

I don't really mind the "takes the whole screen width" - once you get wider than about 800 to 1000px it actually gets much harder to read a very long line of text than a smaller compact paragraph. Functional whitespace is a thing, although I do agree that they pushed it a bit too much. The padding and whitespace aren't the biggest problem, IMHO but how it's just very noticeably slower and clunkier to use.

a tiny minority of people will bother doing all that.

i think the majority of people who hate new reddit will come here.

three's lots of people who've joined after the redesign and haven't used old reddit, so it feels unfamiliar to them. some how mamy people were completely unaware of third party clients because they habet been using reddit before the official app has been released.

I prefer the full posts over the preview post.
Better to scroll during lunch break.

[-] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

Same. I want to see the full post/picture so I can decide that I'm even interested in the comments. I actually like infinite scrolling.

My Lemmy app (Sync) is also configured for full height and width cards.
