As a 14-year long user, the new Fisher Price UI makes me sad :( What have they done to you, Reddit? - Lemmy.world

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 all the stream-lined content I could consume, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide :/

I think Reddit doesn’t realize that what made their UI so appealing was precisely that it felt really functional and bare bones, like Craigslist still does or Google used to. As if it was designed by nerds who just wanted the most functional site. It makes it seem more trustworthy and neutral, less monetized.

This redesign looks painfully corporate.

I used RIF for the longest time and I just can’t with the official app. It’s already awful and if that’s what the website looks like now then the app will have a worse UI soon.

You guys are still using Reddit?

Also i need talklittle to either port rif or make it open source so we can port it ourselves ;-;

I use Connect and it is the closest thing to RIF. Over the last few weeks the app has improved a ton.

Ooo, I’ll have to check it out. I’m on Jerboa, which is good but I miss the buttons for snappy movements between comments that rif had the most

I know right I feel like I’m going crazy but no other app has these buttons and no one else mentioned them

Connect for Lemmy has the buttons, but also has these weird animations and they’re slightly different (like they don’t exist for nested comments, just the return to parent button)
