I definitely think the newer design looks better, although it is less functional and has more unnecessary crap. I definitely prefer the compact view over the the card view. Back when I still used Reddit I used the old design with custom css though.
I’m mobile so I am much faster scrolling. I guess that’s an important point, most people probably use their smartphones browsing Instagram etc. Also I use Voyager for browsing Lemmy on PC, no reddit for me
New Reddit is only marginally better on mobile than on desktop. Old Reddit still blows it out of the water. 2 posts per page vs. 8 when I just checked. Not to mention new Reddit is just a lot slower in general and mixes links to other posts into the comments of the one you’re looking at.
It seems people have different preferences and there are some millenials that want to watch just funny cat images and don’t mind looking at the less funny cats from time to time. The article we are talking about (do we?) draws shitty conclusions based in shitty data (“people within my bubble”).
I don’t care about the article. I’m asking you because you’ve stated your opinion that new reddit and I literally cannot understand it even when I try looking from other perspectives. There is nothing I can see that is better about new reddit. I don’t mean that to be confrontational towards you or to say you are wrong in it. I just would like to understand because it seems more and more things are going towards similar designs and I hate it.
How can you prefer this:
