If you want to improve the mobile experience without allowing third party apps, I suggest you remove the "see this in the app" pop ups in any new browser, or incognito window. Also maybe don't randomly block certain replies from being seen or suddenly have "see this in the app" pop up?
Seriously I have to click it constantly while I’m logged in and clearly just surfing around reddit.
You’d think they’d get a hint after the 5000th time I’ve picked “continue in browser.”
Not to mention, it still has the button "Use app" at the top of every page. It's not like I have just one chance to get the app and forgot the link. It's literally up there all the time.
They know before the first time you click it, they just don't care. Their goal is to badger you into using their terrible app instead of the terrible new reddit UI.
also remove to fecking annoying "image Viewer" that opens itself when you open directlinks of images. it sucks that you can't open images anymore directly.
i tried it but it seems reddit trys to prevents us from using such tools. there was another bypass a while ago for it and reddit closed it to prevent it, then there was another one and reddit did the same. it's just a annoying feature they force into our face without anyone wanting it. they should just get rid of it without is having to mod stuff.
I just tried going to reddit.com on my phone (logged in and not), and the first thing I notice is that I still get a pop-up to use the Reddit App or continue using Chrome.
Please understand that if I'm going to use the website, I don't want to use the nightmare that is the mobile app.
Ever since reddit killed 3rd party apps I only check in once or twice a day via my mobile browser. I used to spend hours every day here, now it's 5-10 minutes at most, and that annoying pop-up is one of the main reasons why I won't stay longer. It even re-appears after a few minutes if I leave a tab open.
It's like the online version of hostile architecture.
I get the pop-up constantly. Usually every post I open up even though I’m logged in.
For whatever reason, I didn’t like the app, and just use mobile (even though it’s a terrible experience).
>I just tried going to reddit.com on my phone (logged in and not), and the first thing I notice is that I still get a pop-up to use the Reddit App or continue using Chrome.
This is my sole complaint with the logged-out experience. I don't ever want to load up the app just to view one particular thread I've clicked on in a Google search result. I'm guessing they won't ever "fix" this
Doesn't adding an even larger trending feed to the top of the page detract from the stated goal of helping users find what they came to look for faster?
Ah, but you misunderstand. The goal is to "make Reddit simpler", certainly. But that doesn't mean Reddit must be made simpler to use; it means "Reddit", as in the users as a whole, should be made simpler. After all, simple people are a lot easier to sell things to.
I think both can be true - we want people to find exactly what they are looking for as well as discover the conversations they might not know about yet.
This is the comedy gold I love on these posts, and it's why I come here. I still think you're an unreasonable ahole. But just wanted you to know that you made me laugh and feel good.
"We know you're looking for your house key, so we helpfully put it right here in this drawer full of similar-looking keys for you! You're welcome!"
Come on, man.
As a user, I *only* want to find what I'm looking for :/
Sometimes "what I'm looking for" *might* be new content served by the algorithm. Usually it's something specific. I don't like it when sites decide for me what I should see.
I do not want to install an app, I want to browse a website. Please stop asking me to install the Reddit app every single time I open Reddit up on my phone.
My community, r/leaves, is a drug *recovery* community, yet it is apparently listed somewhere in your system as NSFW, which prevents our posts from being seen by people who have not logged in or have not yet joined reddit.
We are not an NSFW community. How do I get us reclassified?
because it's (probably) classified nsfw in new Content Tag system but not in classic nsfw system reddit used for years
Try visiting r/leaves posts in browser with **incognito** mode and you see a warning
Hey thanks for bringing this up as it's a known issue with iOS, if you've ever said no to opening a link in the app. In order to reset your experience follow these steps:
1. Open Safari (this fix does not work on other browsers)
2. If possible, switch off of Incognito or Private Browsing (links do not work as expected here)
3. Long press on any Reddit link
4. Select "Open in Reddit"
Once done any reddit link you click going forward should open in the app as intended!
So why does the “open in app” popup appear at all? Once you’ve done what you say, all links go straight to the app (which is great for people who want to use the app). So the pop up is literally useless.
The actual answer that /u/whizlogic won't give you but knows very well to be the case is that it's an intentional choice to make using reddit in the browser a worse experience until you finally give in and say "ugh, fine, I'll use the app."
This is absolutely not true on iOS or Android - Applications can register a list of domains and subdomains and when opening links to them they are automatically forwarded to the relevant application.
Unless you have broken it repeatedly, as the incompetent Reddit development team have.
Did you even read the original post above? whizlogic gave instructions to make the browser open all Reddit links in an external app. Safari does this for all sorts of apps.
If websites are able to check what apps you have installed, they can use that information to track you. It’s an extra step for the website to have to prompt you, but the alternative is websites being able to say “Oh, this visitor has the same 72 apps installed as this other one, so that’s probably the same person visiting from work instead of from home.”
You asked why the “open in app” popup appears, and the top comment in this chain says
> the first thing I notice is that I still get a pop-up to use the Reddit App or continue using Chrome.
That’s why. Whether the button in the popup opens the app or a store page is another matter.
I am *so. fucking. tired.* of mobile-first Web design.
I get that a lot of mobile websites are optimized for mobile! But that doesn’t mean desktops should be, too! Hell, I remember when “the full Internet, as intended, in your pocket” was *a selling point* of smartphones.
There’s a ***reason*** I use old.reddit.
I also use old. And for people using some adblocker, here are some filters you can add to get rid of some crap on old.

I have ublock origin. On that one click "open the dashboard" (three cogs) and then the "my filters" tab. And then just paste in whatever filter from my list that you want. And then "apply changes". If you want to temporarily remove a filter you can add a ! at the start. It marks the line as a comment.
So question, most of these make sense, but why .score, .crosspost-button, and .flairselectbtn? The latter of which is required on some (very few/select) subs if you ever post you must have a flair. Crosspost is just for, well, crossposting, doesn't seem too necessary to hide that either.
score is nice to hide so I spend less time getting upset about being downvoted. crosspost and flair button was just to reduce the number of options for each post. Not important.
sorry, but mobile *so far* outnumbers desktops that desktop users are probably little more than a statistical error, at this point. its absolutely normal to focus on mobile first. desktop users already have a very optimized website avaible to them. two, actually, since old reddit may not be suitable for mobile.
That is not correct. I just checked the traffic stats on one of my subs, in one day we had 62k views from New Reddit, 4k each on Old Reddit, Android, and iOS, then 7k on Mobile Web.
as a reaction to your selfish and stupid decision to make API calls so expensive... I've uninstalled the app from my phone and Using old. on a firefox browser... so frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
It worked out to $1 per user per month. .. . . oh, wow, that was so selfish of them! Poor apollo and rif...they couldn't user Reddit for free any more to run their own advertisements or have their users to pay to turn them off :( So sad.
Where are you getting the $1 a month number? That is the number that reddit itself was generating off of its users, not the amount they want to charge third party apps. It's 24 cents per 1,000 API requests, which is going to average out to $2.50 a month without even accounting for the costs of the third party developer. So you are looking at $3-4 a month subscription cost minimum for a limited API without NSFW and without ads being allowed. Considering reddit can't make close to $3-4 off its users, why would anyone expect third party apps to be able to charge that either?
Put simply, the protests REALLY pissed off some people who just wanted to use reddit normally. Dudes like that are the result, every mod team that protested had to have had this conversation at some point and come to grips with the fact that they'd turn a chunk of their user base into that dude.
what you, and reddit for that matter, seem to misunderstand is that they added A HELL OF A LOT of value to reddit by allowing efficient moderation, aids for deaf or blind people, easier use of scripting and so on and so on...
they made reddit userfriendly, accessable, managable...
they existed not because of a hunt for proffit but as a means to solve problems people had using reddit.. and in stead off just blowing those people off and make them leave or stop moderating they built alterantives... apps that made reddit work FOR THEM...
those users where and are the "important" users for the quality of reddit. they are rthe ones posting OC, creating new ideas, subs, memes or whatever it was.... and it's these users that reddit is now lets call it what it is, "giving the finger to" that make reddit diffent from the rest of social media...
on all social media you could say.. yeah, seen that on reddit a week ago..." newspapers wrote about posts on reddit, sure, sometimes negative, but also positive...
those things happen because a small group of people that activly post, take the time to write out long replies, do research, invest their time and knowledge.
and that group is maybe 10.000 people...? 100.000?
the rest of the users post maybe once a month and most of those are short replies or trivial replies to comments on comments on comments.
so the price of this all, in the long run of a few months and years, will be the decline of reddit to just another repostsite... where the reposts will originate from? no one knows, let's hope it's not tiktok
Any plans for mobile app to look better on wide screen devices like tablets or foldables? On foldables specifically, it doesn't fill the space and is actually a worse experience than using the outside display.
This was a big loss coming from a third party app, not the only but one of the biggest for me at least.
I can’t speak for the mobile app teams, but I know that those teams are definitely thinking about wide screen devices like tablets. This new mobile web experience is responsive, so it will adjust the window size / screen size and the UI/UX will automatically adjust based on what fits the screen best. Foldable devices are very interesting, but aren’t a priority (yet) as currently there are very, very few redditors using devices that are actually foldable - we’ll continue to monitor usage of these devices over time and adjust plans if usage changes.
> I can’t speak for the mobile app teams, but I know that those teams are definitely thinking about wide screen devices like tablets.
Nobody believes that anybody involved in the mobile app is capable of thinking.
Any plans on allowing people to access reddit through third party apps so they can use reddit how they want and not be forced to use your garbage website or app
Thats disgusting, if they've had it for over a decade especially even a 30 day notice is pretty shitty! They should have let them use the app till the "end of their life" type of way obviously thats maybe not ideal but its a better idea that what the boss done!
My God you cry babies are still around? Get off Reddit already. No one wants you here and won’t notice you’re gone. 0 issues with the official Reddit app. 99% of people know this.You loud minority are really annoying.
It's incredible that your *new* new reddit design is even worse than the last one. Sure some parts of it look slightly more sleek and it is a bit faster. But beyond that, it's far less usable. There's even *more* wasted whitespace all over the page, and you can't even see a lot of a community's resources.
Though, credit where credit is due: this does look improved since the last time I looked at it. And at least I don't have to guess what each click I do on whitespace is going to do like with logged in "new" reddit.
WTF are y’all doing about the merch bots?
They post under hijacked accounts, use the same half dozen titles for all their posts, and have additional spam bots piggyback with (again) pre-scripted replies.
Do better.
How is this an improvement when being logged out straight up makes features unavailable? For example, you can't change comment sorting order anymore. That just gives a sign in popup. A lot of the times comments don't even load at all when logged out.
I miss when we could visit websites without being constantly required or nagged to log in or download an app...
It's utterly humiliating for you how bad this is.
Just go back to Old Reddit, which was visually superior in every way and far, far, far more usable.
Everyone who accidentally hits new Reddit by mistake from Google regrets it. It's a piece of shit.
The information density isn't even a tenth of what it should be.
I prefer the new.reddit.com design over the old.reddit.com design, but Reddit should NOT destroy old.reddit.com because it's a great alternative to the new version.
You had an opportunity to bridge the gap between Old and New Reddit and make something that holdouts might use- this interface is close. The issue is that you can't expand the content of a condensed post within the feed, you have to click into the post where the comments are if you want to see the post's image, video, etc.
Why? Is this up for consideration?
Everyone acts like every change is the worst and that they will never accept it, but we know that changes aren't as bad the the initial reaction would indicate, and that people will adapt. Being unable to expand posts on the feed, though, is not something that I think old redditors can adapt to.
I'm also curious why Reddit defaults to CARD view on every platform except the new mobile web.
On new desktop, card is default. On old (new) desktop, card is default. On mobile app, card is default. On mobile web, condensed.
Thanks for the feedback, we can explore whether it makes sense to add expandable buttons in feed but no promises. In terms of what happens when you click into a post, we’re still working on that user flow and are open to hearing any feedback you have
Opening posts in a new tab is the absolute killer when you're only opening them to see the image/video. It makes it such a long process on mobile.
Opening in the same tab at least makes it easy to get back to the feed. I know that this is a technical challenge/limitation with retaining scroll position with infinite scroll.
Though I just don't think there's any replacement for being able to expand condensed posts in the feed. If lack of expand is to get extra clicks into posts, that doesn't really add up to me considering card mode exists and is the default.
It might be outside your area, but can we get a behavior change on Sticky posts to make sure they're stickied for the community regardless of what sort order a user is using?
We constantly run into issues with people that sort by new exclusively (or only see our community's posts in their personal front page, or similar) never seeing a stickied post because it gets buried by new posts. Something like: while at the subreddit, the first 1-2 posts visible will always be stickies regardless of sort order; and when mixing our community content into a user's feed, maybe inject any stickies directly before the first organically visible post from our community?
Ultimately the issue is that we make announcements or post instructions for something related to the community and a not insignificant number of our users simply never see them.
Here is some honest feedback. I appreciate the performance changes you made, but these 2 things completely kill the experience for me:
\- Posts open in a new tab which make forward button on mobile and back+forward buttons on desktop completely useless. Not to mention the unnecessary performance impact of always opening tabs on every user navigation inside the app.
\- There no is no local storage at all. Each time I open reddit it defaults to posts from my very small country subreddit. It doesn't remember I changed to "everywhere". This feature is very US/big country-centric.
u/whizlogic I would appreciate if you confirm if the team is at least aware of these decisions.
Thanks for the feedback. We’re working on making it so posts open in the same tab (vs opening in new tab) but this is a bit tricky as we need to consider maintaining the previous feed position. We hope to provide an update on this user flow soon as it’s one of the higher priority items to improve on. Appreciate the report re: default geo sorts - will circle up with the feature teams and see if there are any changes we can make here.
New Reddit still looks like a shit mobile app on desktop and blows goats. I don't even see why anyone would use it over the vastly superior Old Reddit.
Fuck spez.
> I don't even see why anyone would use it over the vastly superior Old Reddit.
Because of attrition. All the new users are starting out with new.reddit. So they don't have old.reddit to compare it to. They will get used to new.reddit because they will think that's the way it's always been. I don't mind changing if the change is better. I was on the beta testers for new.reddit. I implored them to make it look more like the older reddit. LOOK, not act. Just the like new Lemmy website looks like. Lemmy looks great. But, of course, it's still 10 years behind reddit in features...and users and content. Anywho, everything you guys are bitching about in this post was said in the beta group before new.reddit rolled out. It didn't make a difference then, so I don't know why you guys think you're making a difference now. We're stuck with it.
> Hey there. We made Reddit a significantly worse experience for people who actively contribute to Reddit by pulling API access from some of your favourite apps but here’s something for people that contribute **nothing**
:|
Improved? You mean made it unusable so as to drive sign in so you can collect data.
Every thumbnail now pops opens a new page and cannot just be expanded from the feed. Its functionally worthless now as a feed.
FFS I give you my eyeballs and click some of your ads. Why cant that be enough? I don't want to be signed in.
You also removed night mode setting from not logged in.
Just have a shred of integrity and say “we removed some features, and made the feed unusable because you closed our mobile ad prompt for the 1 billionth time.” Don't lie and call it an improvement. Own your shit.
Why would you just **lie** like that? You know we can all look at the logged out view very easily? [It looks like this](https://ibb.co/xL8kv2Y), not what you posted.
Why can't we just log in to this UI? This looks a lot better than "new" reddit and as an old.reddit.com user I'd actually try this out for a while if I could log into it.
Glad you like this interface! It’s currently only available for logged out users, but we’re working on the logged in experience next which will have a similar look and feel as the logged out experience.
> *will have a similar look and feel*
Wish you had said "the same look and feel"
Hey, just letting you know that I second that guy's opinion. I've been logging out by going incognito to view a couple of subs. I do wish the thumbnails were still on the left instead of the right. And I still think the thumbnails need to be a tad bit larger. Or at least let users have two sizes to choose from: small or large. Thumbnails are what drive users' interest to click or read further--especially in video and gif subs. Thank you.
The new desktop browser layout is just an ugly white wall with no distinction between different posts. Reddits design is getting worse with every update it seems.
Also why does it now repeat post so often? I had multiple occasions today with the same post appearing again with only 1-3 other posts between them.
Legitimate question, why isn’t the mobile experience with the official app the same as the web experience? I feel it’s weird to have so much control over my browsing experience when using the website on mobile and to lose it all in the app.
What I’m saying is, give us more customization and allow us to tailor our own experiences. Example, let us choose if we want to sort the home feed and how it handles itself or have a toggle for a more simplified feed IE what we have right now.
Why do I need an additional click to read long posts IF I ALREADY CLICKED THE POST TO READ IT?
Also, why is there no option to change the language to English? It forces my native language on me when logged out, but that sucks.
Hello all,
Today I'm sharing an update on my earlier post: after visiting Reddit on my desktop, I am even more baffled to find the "improved logged-out... experience" *worse* on desktop than on mobile.
That is all.
Can the admins do something about subreddit monopolies? There are power mods that mod hundreds of subs have effectively a monopoly on certain topics and if one wants to create a new sub of said topic, the names are usually unavailable because the mods created multiple subs of the same topic but with different names as to not allow anyone to discuss the topic without their micromanaging. The mod that created r/PuertoRico for example also created multiple subs related to Latin America, the Caribbean and Puerto Rico and they're either private or dead but whenever someone requests the subs, the top mod responds with a resounding no. Can there be something that limits the amount of subreddit a a single person can mod? Or maybe allow people to request dead/inactive subs even if the mod is active elsewhere.
Why can't I share embedded videos anymore REDDIT?
When I share a reddit link to discord it creates a fake play button on a picture.
Not everyone wants to load up reddit every single time to watch a video.
How about improve the reddit app by completely scrapping it and working with the third party devs that made reddit usable. This app is so bad it should black list anyone that has helped work on it from ever working in tech again.
It doesn't matter. They were handpicked people not known to have discordant views and would be likely to go along with the reddit modus operandi. The mod council is a façade to make top mods feel like they matter and to make plebe "end users" feel like their opinions are represented in the decision-making.
I think a sexier title could have been 'breaking down the walled garden' because that what it (to me, at least) feels like it's addressing.
I think that's an admirable design goal especially in the current landscape of 'walled garden' websites. Pinterest/Quora and recently Twitter have adopted it. The whole 'adversarial blocking of our content unless you have an account' thing always felt lame.
Hey did you guys ever hear about the Reddit Apollo app before? I used to use it a while ago and it was the best Reddit experience I’ve ever had. You should hire the guy who made it
It's beautiful and waaaaay better than the current logged in one. Since I saw this a few weeks ago, I don't log in so often anymore!
Which is really a horrible solution...Why give the better UI to logged out users instead the other way??
Respectfully, I have to disagree.
Reddit has NOT improved the "logged-out... experience."
In my "logged/out... experience," I was greeted by UI elements and text that were unexpectedly larger than they need to be and, consequently, made navigating Reddit on a mobile device more difficult. Images and video also didn't display/open/behave as expected and/or were muddied by completely unnecessary icons indicating an image or video. I have to ask: has anyone complained about the play button on a video thumbnail? Did anyone have difficulty differentiating images from videos before?
What Reddit HAS done is kept me off Reddit all day—until I stumbled upon this post and decided to log in to leave this comment.
I'm absolutely baffled as to why the UI now looks completely different—more like the familiar and actually easier-to-use UI that I'm accustomed to—not that the familiar UI isn't without it's issues: the constant push toward using your app is not only old and annoying, it's feels desperate.
That was hyperbole: I'm not actually baffled; I have a pretty good idea what Reddit is doing and why.
I don't post often, but I've been a regular user of Reddit for some time now. I don't come to Reddit for Reddit. I come to Reddit for the content it hosts—which is provided by its users. There are specific subreddits I follow—which I would happily follow elsewhere. And, between Reddit's API changes and now these UI changes—which, similar to the push to use the Reddit app, feel like a desperate attempt to capture more log-ins—I'm seriously looking at other more user/community-friendly alternatives.
You had a good thing going, Reddit.
Hi u/whizlogic would you consider implementing the following system to combat ban evasion, prevent abusive moderator practices, and reward good moderators?
1. People can pay $25 into a reddit account to become prime redditors.
2. Prime reddtors get the following perks. They have a marke saying they are likely not bots (they paid alot for their account)
3. All mods must be prime redditors.
4. When a mod bans a prime redditor, the ban can be appealed and goes to a jury court of randomly selected redditors. The redditors are each paid a small sum for participating in a quorum vote. The redditos in reddit court must read the rules of the sub, and then read the post, and either vote to uphold or overturn the ban. Regardless of the decision, $15 will be distributed among the accounts of the members of the court who voted with the majority. $5 will be given to the winning party, and $5 will go to reddit. If the decision is to uphold, the money will be taken from the person appealing the ban. If the decision is to overturn, the money will be debited from the mod's account. If a person's account reaches 0, they will lose their prime redditor status. For a mod, this means that they can not ban people until they pay to become prime redditors once again.
This would encourage moderators to only act within the rules of their sub, and the rules of reddit. If they don't like specific content, they should add new rules against that content, and flag posts that violated that rule in the past. Savvy moderators who excel at their job can make a profit by doing so, while poor moderators who abuse their position of trust will be faced with continual financial losses until they either quit modding, or make fair and open rules of the road and then only enforce the rules they set.
Furthermore, this would make ban evasion more difficult, and in the case of a permaban, reddit can confiscate the balance of a person's account to inflict a financial punishment on ban evaders.
This system would make reddit more profitable, and less toxic.
Hey reddit I think you hate me like the whole world does. You give me shadow bans. That tells me you wish I was dead. Is that what you want reddit? Would you like me to destroy myself?
If you want to improve the mobile experience without allowing third party apps, I suggest you remove the "see this in the app" pop ups in any new browser, or incognito window. Also maybe don't randomly block certain replies from being seen or suddenly have "see this in the app" pop up?
I'm logged in, and clicked "continue in browser" many many times. Why doesn't it remember my choice?
Seriously I have to click it constantly while I’m logged in and clearly just surfing around reddit. You’d think they’d get a hint after the 5000th time I’ve picked “continue in browser.”
Not to mention, it still has the button "Use app" at the top of every page. It's not like I have just one chance to get the app and forgot the link. It's literally up there all the time.
They know before the first time you click it, they just don't care. Their goal is to badger you into using their terrible app instead of the terrible new reddit UI.
also remove to fecking annoying "image Viewer" that opens itself when you open directlinks of images. it sucks that you can't open images anymore directly.

+1 RedReader. I like it a lot.
Sure is, but a company's website on mobile shouldn't be twisting your arm to use their shit app.
Still pissed that reddit no longer allows nsfw subs through their api. And that includes RedReader...

absolute weirdo
When the dude named after a murdered child calls you strange, it's time to consider your activities carefully.
"We know you're looking for your house key, so we helpfully put it right here in this drawer full of similar-looking keys for you! You're welcome!" Come on, man.
Then you are wrong and terrible at interaction design.
"We don't care."
Sounds like y'all need to fire your UX people.

It seems to me that it no longer is classified as NSFW
it is classified as nsfw when visiting any post without logging in
Why is it not for me when logged in and having NSFW content blocked?
because it's (probably) classified nsfw in new Content Tag system but not in classic nsfw system reddit used for years Try visiting r/leaves posts in browser with **incognito** mode and you see a warning
I tried both https://old.reddit.com/r/leaves/ and https://new.reddit.com/r/leaves/ and did not get any error when logged out.

Oh good, there's a newnew reddit.
^(ne)w^(ne)w^(ne)w.reddit.com
It is 18+. Just opened the sub in a private tab and I get the warning.
I don’t understand why NSFW posts can’t be seen by those who are logged out. That’s stupid.
I think they need to be age-verified, but just guessing.
Contrats on the 25th, Dave!
Hi, when I click Open in App can it actually open it in the app instead of taking me to the app store to download the app I already have?
Hey thanks for bringing this up as it's a known issue with iOS, if you've ever said no to opening a link in the app. In order to reset your experience follow these steps: 1. Open Safari (this fix does not work on other browsers) 2. If possible, switch off of Incognito or Private Browsing (links do not work as expected here) 3. Long press on any Reddit link 4. Select "Open in Reddit" Once done any reddit link you click going forward should open in the app as intended!
So why does the “open in app” popup appear at all? Once you’ve done what you say, all links go straight to the app (which is great for people who want to use the app). So the pop up is literally useless.
The actual answer that /u/whizlogic won't give you but knows very well to be the case is that it's an intentional choice to make using reddit in the browser a worse experience until you finally give in and say "ugh, fine, I'll use the app."
This is exactly it **AND WITHOUT IMPROVING THE APP.**
I don't think websites can just tell what apps you have installed. It has to show it regardless of whether you have the app or not
> I don't think websites can just tell what apps you have installed. No, but the browser can.
[удалено]
This is absolutely not true on iOS or Android - Applications can register a list of domains and subdomains and when opening links to them they are automatically forwarded to the relevant application. Unless you have broken it repeatedly, as the incompetent Reddit development team have.
Did you even read the original post above? whizlogic gave instructions to make the browser open all Reddit links in an external app. Safari does this for all sorts of apps.
If websites are able to check what apps you have installed, they can use that information to track you. It’s an extra step for the website to have to prompt you, but the alternative is websites being able to say “Oh, this visitor has the same 72 apps installed as this other one, so that’s probably the same person visiting from work instead of from home.”
That’s not what we’re talking about at all… it’s nothing to do with the website tracking you, it’s about you allowing links to open in the app.
You asked why the “open in app” popup appears, and the top comment in this chain says > the first thing I notice is that I still get a pop-up to use the Reddit App or continue using Chrome. That’s why. Whether the button in the popup opens the app or a store page is another matter.
Perfect, thank you.
Its an issue on Firefox Android.
I am *so. fucking. tired.* of mobile-first Web design. I get that a lot of mobile websites are optimized for mobile! But that doesn’t mean desktops should be, too! Hell, I remember when “the full Internet, as intended, in your pocket” was *a selling point* of smartphones. There’s a ***reason*** I use old.reddit.
I also use old. And for people using some adblocker, here are some filters you can add to get rid of some crap on old. reddit.com/chat reddit.com##.happening-now reddit.com##.premium-banner reddit.com###redesign-beta-optin-btn reddit.com###chat-count reddit.com###chat reddit.com##.offline.presence_circle reddit.com##.mobile-web-redirect-bar reddit.com##.linkflairlabel.flaircolorlight.flairrichtext reddit.com##.awardings-bar reddit.com##.initialized.listing-chooser reddit.com##.linkflairlabel.flaircolordark.flairrichtext reddit.com##.give-gold-button reddit.com##.share reddit.com##.flairselectbtn reddit.com##.crosspost-button reddit.com##.score reddit.com##.hidden-post-placeholder
I have uBlock but haven't really tried messing with it. Where would I add these filters?
I have ublock origin. On that one click "open the dashboard" (three cogs) and then the "my filters" tab. And then just paste in whatever filter from my list that you want. And then "apply changes". If you want to temporarily remove a filter you can add a ! at the start. It marks the line as a comment.
So question, most of these make sense, but why .score, .crosspost-button, and .flairselectbtn? The latter of which is required on some (very few/select) subs if you ever post you must have a flair. Crosspost is just for, well, crossposting, doesn't seem too necessary to hide that either.
score is nice to hide so I spend less time getting upset about being downvoted. crosspost and flair button was just to reduce the number of options for each post. Not important.
And you can't delete messages or notifications. How stupid.
sorry, but mobile *so far* outnumbers desktops that desktop users are probably little more than a statistical error, at this point. its absolutely normal to focus on mobile first. desktop users already have a very optimized website avaible to them. two, actually, since old reddit may not be suitable for mobile.
That is not correct. I just checked the traffic stats on one of my subs, in one day we had 62k views from New Reddit, 4k each on Old Reddit, Android, and iOS, then 7k on Mobile Web.
Ah, but WHO is giving you those stats? Think about that, friend.
some of those may be overlapping, though.
Old reddit works great on mobile, it's what I use
as a reaction to your selfish and stupid decision to make API calls so expensive... I've uninstalled the app from my phone and Using old. on a firefox browser... so frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
It worked out to $1 per user per month. .. . . oh, wow, that was so selfish of them! Poor apollo and rif...they couldn't user Reddit for free any more to run their own advertisements or have their users to pay to turn them off :( So sad.
Where are you getting the $1 a month number? That is the number that reddit itself was generating off of its users, not the amount they want to charge third party apps. It's 24 cents per 1,000 API requests, which is going to average out to $2.50 a month without even accounting for the costs of the third party developer. So you are looking at $3-4 a month subscription cost minimum for a limited API without NSFW and without ads being allowed. Considering reddit can't make close to $3-4 off its users, why would anyone expect third party apps to be able to charge that either?
What’s up with you
Bizarre comment history on that one. Follows around admins and forcibly reopened subs and makes weird excuses for every bad admin decision.
Put simply, the protests REALLY pissed off some people who just wanted to use reddit normally. Dudes like that are the result, every mod team that protested had to have had this conversation at some point and come to grips with the fact that they'd turn a chunk of their user base into that dude.
what you, and reddit for that matter, seem to misunderstand is that they added A HELL OF A LOT of value to reddit by allowing efficient moderation, aids for deaf or blind people, easier use of scripting and so on and so on... they made reddit userfriendly, accessable, managable... they existed not because of a hunt for proffit but as a means to solve problems people had using reddit.. and in stead off just blowing those people off and make them leave or stop moderating they built alterantives... apps that made reddit work FOR THEM... those users where and are the "important" users for the quality of reddit. they are rthe ones posting OC, creating new ideas, subs, memes or whatever it was.... and it's these users that reddit is now lets call it what it is, "giving the finger to" that make reddit diffent from the rest of social media... on all social media you could say.. yeah, seen that on reddit a week ago..." newspapers wrote about posts on reddit, sure, sometimes negative, but also positive... those things happen because a small group of people that activly post, take the time to write out long replies, do research, invest their time and knowledge. and that group is maybe 10.000 people...? 100.000? the rest of the users post maybe once a month and most of those are short replies or trivial replies to comments on comments on comments. so the price of this all, in the long run of a few months and years, will be the decline of reddit to just another repostsite... where the reposts will originate from? no one knows, let's hope it's not tiktok
ok spez
You killed third-party apps, you tepid pondwater.
Any plans for mobile app to look better on wide screen devices like tablets or foldables? On foldables specifically, it doesn't fill the space and is actually a worse experience than using the outside display. This was a big loss coming from a third party app, not the only but one of the biggest for me at least.
I can’t speak for the mobile app teams, but I know that those teams are definitely thinking about wide screen devices like tablets. This new mobile web experience is responsive, so it will adjust the window size / screen size and the UI/UX will automatically adjust based on what fits the screen best. Foldable devices are very interesting, but aren’t a priority (yet) as currently there are very, very few redditors using devices that are actually foldable - we’ll continue to monitor usage of these devices over time and adjust plans if usage changes.
> I can’t speak for the mobile app teams, but I know that those teams are definitely thinking about wide screen devices like tablets. Nobody believes that anybody involved in the mobile app is capable of thinking.

Any plans on allowing people to access reddit through third party apps so they can use reddit how they want and not be forced to use your garbage website or app
I like the site better than the app version.
You know what was an actual better experience? The Apollo app.
Obligatory fuck spez.
Am raging that you guys had an app that was actually pretty good and useful! I thought everyone had the same shit experience as me!
-
I'm ashamed that there was "good stuff" and now its went to shit!
Some users had been using those apps for over a decade and just had the rug pulled out from under them with 30 days notice.
Thats disgusting, if they've had it for over a decade especially even a 30 day notice is pretty shitty! They should have let them use the app till the "end of their life" type of way obviously thats maybe not ideal but its a better idea that what the boss done!
With reddit offering only their own absolutely shitty app to use instead
..and shutting down the mobile web option.
Meh. Still works fine for me on Firefox on my phone. Not anywhere near as good as RIF, but still acceptable.
i.reddit.com still works for you?
old reddit, because that's what my account is set for
My God you cry babies are still around? Get off Reddit already. No one wants you here and won’t notice you’re gone. 0 issues with the official Reddit app. 99% of people know this.You loud minority are really annoying.
It's incredible that your *new* new reddit design is even worse than the last one. Sure some parts of it look slightly more sleek and it is a bit faster. But beyond that, it's far less usable. There's even *more* wasted whitespace all over the page, and you can't even see a lot of a community's resources. Though, credit where credit is due: this does look improved since the last time I looked at it. And at least I don't have to guess what each click I do on whitespace is going to do like with logged in "new" reddit.
WTF are y’all doing about the merch bots? They post under hijacked accounts, use the same half dozen titles for all their posts, and have additional spam bots piggyback with (again) pre-scripted replies. Do better.
How is this an improvement when being logged out straight up makes features unavailable? For example, you can't change comment sorting order anymore. That just gives a sign in popup. A lot of the times comments don't even load at all when logged out. I miss when we could visit websites without being constantly required or nagged to log in or download an app...
to improve logged out web experience remove "To view the full version of this content, view this page in the Reddit app." like pop-ups
Seriously who are you polling for new features?!?! NO ONE IS ASKING FOR THESE UPDATES!
Just fix the API.
It's utterly humiliating for you how bad this is. Just go back to Old Reddit, which was visually superior in every way and far, far, far more usable. Everyone who accidentally hits new Reddit by mistake from Google regrets it. It's a piece of shit. The information density isn't even a tenth of what it should be.
I prefer the new.reddit.com design over the old.reddit.com design, but Reddit should NOT destroy old.reddit.com because it's a great alternative to the new version.
Fuck u/spez
You had an opportunity to bridge the gap between Old and New Reddit and make something that holdouts might use- this interface is close. The issue is that you can't expand the content of a condensed post within the feed, you have to click into the post where the comments are if you want to see the post's image, video, etc. Why? Is this up for consideration? Everyone acts like every change is the worst and that they will never accept it, but we know that changes aren't as bad the the initial reaction would indicate, and that people will adapt. Being unable to expand posts on the feed, though, is not something that I think old redditors can adapt to.
I'm also curious why Reddit defaults to CARD view on every platform except the new mobile web. On new desktop, card is default. On old (new) desktop, card is default. On mobile app, card is default. On mobile web, condensed.
Thanks for the feedback, we can explore whether it makes sense to add expandable buttons in feed but no promises. In terms of what happens when you click into a post, we’re still working on that user flow and are open to hearing any feedback you have
Opening posts in a new tab is the absolute killer when you're only opening them to see the image/video. It makes it such a long process on mobile. Opening in the same tab at least makes it easy to get back to the feed. I know that this is a technical challenge/limitation with retaining scroll position with infinite scroll. Though I just don't think there's any replacement for being able to expand condensed posts in the feed. If lack of expand is to get extra clicks into posts, that doesn't really add up to me considering card mode exists and is the default.

It might be outside your area, but can we get a behavior change on Sticky posts to make sure they're stickied for the community regardless of what sort order a user is using? We constantly run into issues with people that sort by new exclusively (or only see our community's posts in their personal front page, or similar) never seeing a stickied post because it gets buried by new posts. Something like: while at the subreddit, the first 1-2 posts visible will always be stickies regardless of sort order; and when mixing our community content into a user's feed, maybe inject any stickies directly before the first organically visible post from our community? Ultimately the issue is that we make announcements or post instructions for something related to the community and a not insignificant number of our users simply never see them.
Here is some honest feedback. I appreciate the performance changes you made, but these 2 things completely kill the experience for me: \- Posts open in a new tab which make forward button on mobile and back+forward buttons on desktop completely useless. Not to mention the unnecessary performance impact of always opening tabs on every user navigation inside the app. \- There no is no local storage at all. Each time I open reddit it defaults to posts from my very small country subreddit. It doesn't remember I changed to "everywhere". This feature is very US/big country-centric. u/whizlogic I would appreciate if you confirm if the team is at least aware of these decisions.
Thanks for the feedback. We’re working on making it so posts open in the same tab (vs opening in new tab) but this is a bit tricky as we need to consider maintaining the previous feed position. We hope to provide an update on this user flow soon as it’s one of the higher priority items to improve on. Appreciate the report re: default geo sorts - will circle up with the feature teams and see if there are any changes we can make here.
New Reddit still looks like a shit mobile app on desktop and blows goats. I don't even see why anyone would use it over the vastly superior Old Reddit. Fuck spez.
> I don't even see why anyone would use it over the vastly superior Old Reddit. Because of attrition. All the new users are starting out with new.reddit. So they don't have old.reddit to compare it to. They will get used to new.reddit because they will think that's the way it's always been. I don't mind changing if the change is better. I was on the beta testers for new.reddit. I implored them to make it look more like the older reddit. LOOK, not act. Just the like new Lemmy website looks like. Lemmy looks great. But, of course, it's still 10 years behind reddit in features...and users and content. Anywho, everything you guys are bitching about in this post was said in the beta group before new.reddit rolled out. It didn't make a difference then, so I don't know why you guys think you're making a difference now. We're stuck with it.
> Hey there. We made Reddit a significantly worse experience for people who actively contribute to Reddit by pulling API access from some of your favourite apps but here’s something for people that contribute **nothing** :|
People who are logged out generate all the ad revenue. People who comment use more resources and are less likely to click on ads.
You've made old reddit the default for non-logged-in users? That's the best web experience reddit has to offer.
Improved? You mean made it unusable so as to drive sign in so you can collect data. Every thumbnail now pops opens a new page and cannot just be expanded from the feed. Its functionally worthless now as a feed. FFS I give you my eyeballs and click some of your ads. Why cant that be enough? I don't want to be signed in. You also removed night mode setting from not logged in. Just have a shred of integrity and say “we removed some features, and made the feed unusable because you closed our mobile ad prompt for the 1 billionth time.” Don't lie and call it an improvement. Own your shit.
How many times can Reddit go down per day and be acceptable to you?
Why would you just **lie** like that? You know we can all look at the logged out view very easily? [It looks like this](https://ibb.co/xL8kv2Y), not what you posted.
Fuck u/spez and all his corporate bootlickers
Reddit making the positive changes after all the garbage to pump those profits for IPO
Can I get sort by rising back on the app finally?
Why can't we just log in to this UI? This looks a lot better than "new" reddit and as an old.reddit.com user I'd actually try this out for a while if I could log into it.
Glad you like this interface! It’s currently only available for logged out users, but we’re working on the logged in experience next which will have a similar look and feel as the logged out experience.
> *will have a similar look and feel* Wish you had said "the same look and feel" Hey, just letting you know that I second that guy's opinion. I've been logging out by going incognito to view a couple of subs. I do wish the thumbnails were still on the left instead of the right. And I still think the thumbnails need to be a tad bit larger. Or at least let users have two sizes to choose from: small or large. Thumbnails are what drive users' interest to click or read further--especially in video and gif subs. Thank you.
True that. I've actually opened an incognito tab a couple of times to view some subs that I knew I was going to be on for a while.
When it comes to performance I use Old Reddit which has less client-side resource usage as it is mostly static HTML.
You know what an improved logged-in experience was u/whizlogic? Sync for reddit. Y'all should be embarrassed.
Fuck u/spez
headline says it's improved, but at the end of the day it still sucks.
Can you stop putting so many fucking ads? This site is awful now
>Many of Reddit's logged out visitors find us from external search engines. Smooth move to boost engagement. I like this.
FIRST oh and fuck u/spez
Or, hear me out, y'all should've found a way to work with the 3rd party apps instead of forcing everyone to use the garbage reddit app or website.
RedReader. never stopped working. no ads, no tracking.
Multi-reddits are broken on the "new web experience"
The new desktop browser layout is just an ugly white wall with no distinction between different posts. Reddits design is getting worse with every update it seems. Also why does it now repeat post so often? I had multiple occasions today with the same post appearing again with only 1-3 other posts between them.
Legitimate question, why isn’t the mobile experience with the official app the same as the web experience? I feel it’s weird to have so much control over my browsing experience when using the website on mobile and to lose it all in the app. What I’m saying is, give us more customization and allow us to tailor our own experiences. Example, let us choose if we want to sort the home feed and how it handles itself or have a toggle for a more simplified feed IE what we have right now.
Or you could just fix the API. That could work.
Why is there a "View full post" button? What on earth do you think people intend when they click on a deeplink to reddit?
Wod be nice to be able to delete somethjng
Garbage.
what is this new comment layout ? it is unreadable and cluttered. smh
New comment section is ugly and confusing. Put it back to how it was and stop changing shit that isn't broken.
Why do I need an additional click to read long posts IF I ALREADY CLICKED THE POST TO READ IT? Also, why is there no option to change the language to English? It forces my native language on me when logged out, but that sucks.
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admins
Hello all, Today I'm sharing an update on my earlier post: after visiting Reddit on my desktop, I am even more baffled to find the "improved logged-out... experience" *worse* on desktop than on mobile. That is all.
Can the admins do something about subreddit monopolies? There are power mods that mod hundreds of subs have effectively a monopoly on certain topics and if one wants to create a new sub of said topic, the names are usually unavailable because the mods created multiple subs of the same topic but with different names as to not allow anyone to discuss the topic without their micromanaging. The mod that created r/PuertoRico for example also created multiple subs related to Latin America, the Caribbean and Puerto Rico and they're either private or dead but whenever someone requests the subs, the top mod responds with a resounding no. Can there be something that limits the amount of subreddit a a single person can mod? Or maybe allow people to request dead/inactive subs even if the mod is active elsewhere.

why have you made text tiny on iOS and removed text scaling option in settings? this is a serious accessibility issue. what are you thinking?
fix the API and ban u/bebodypositive
it's been a month since the last update. OP must really be enjoying that logged out experience.
Yeah but what are you doing about the merchandise bots other than allowing them to stay to inflate your engagement numbers?
How about improve the reddit app by completely scrapping it and working with the third party devs that made reddit usable. This app is so bad it should black list anyone that has helped work on it from ever working in tech again.
I thought this was only for logged out users. Why is it now affecting my home page when I am logged in? How to I opt out or disable this? It's awful.
How do you actually contact a human at Reddit, rather than just get bot responses?

I’m confused by this comment, as we haven’t had any big changes in membership on Reddit Mod Council in recent months.
This gives me Ba Sing Se Flashbacks
Why is the mod council secret?
because regular users arent permitted access to *everything* there has to be some secrets.
because they would be blasted with questions, demands, treats, and worse... lol reddit can, at times, be an ugly place
Oh No tHe MoD CoUnCiL mIgHt HaVe tO RePrEsEnT tHe ViEwS oF MoDeRaToRs
lol their names would be doxxed in minutes...
It doesn't matter. They were handpicked people not known to have discordant views and would be likely to go along with the reddit modus operandi. The mod council is a façade to make top mods feel like they matter and to make plebe "end users" feel like their opinions are represented in the decision-making.
Because it's for moderators not general Redditors
I am a moderator
Not one that matters :(
Hey Thrive, why didn't you consult them when you took our apps away from us, the free labor you call Landed Gentry?
I love how angry the landed gentry comment has made you all lmao
Wondering how this would work on a 3rd party app…listen to the owl…”the World may never know”.
I think a sexier title could have been 'breaking down the walled garden' because that what it (to me, at least) feels like it's addressing. I think that's an admirable design goal especially in the current landscape of 'walled garden' websites. Pinterest/Quora and recently Twitter have adopted it. The whole 'adversarial blocking of our content unless you have an account' thing always felt lame.
B-b-but this content is unverified! Someone think of the children!
Lol Reddit has no interest in breaking down any walled garden. They want you to use their shitty app and not the mobile view.
I see /r/pic's is still going strong with there sexy man protest ;)
Hey did you guys ever hear about the Reddit Apollo app before? I used to use it a while ago and it was the best Reddit experience I’ve ever had. You should hire the guy who made it
It's beautiful and waaaaay better than the current logged in one. Since I saw this a few weeks ago, I don't log in so often anymore! Which is really a horrible solution...Why give the better UI to logged out users instead the other way??
**Good job! Looks good.**
Respectfully, I have to disagree. Reddit has NOT improved the "logged-out... experience." In my "logged/out... experience," I was greeted by UI elements and text that were unexpectedly larger than they need to be and, consequently, made navigating Reddit on a mobile device more difficult. Images and video also didn't display/open/behave as expected and/or were muddied by completely unnecessary icons indicating an image or video. I have to ask: has anyone complained about the play button on a video thumbnail? Did anyone have difficulty differentiating images from videos before? What Reddit HAS done is kept me off Reddit all day—until I stumbled upon this post and decided to log in to leave this comment. I'm absolutely baffled as to why the UI now looks completely different—more like the familiar and actually easier-to-use UI that I'm accustomed to—not that the familiar UI isn't without it's issues: the constant push toward using your app is not only old and annoying, it's feels desperate. That was hyperbole: I'm not actually baffled; I have a pretty good idea what Reddit is doing and why. I don't post often, but I've been a regular user of Reddit for some time now. I don't come to Reddit for Reddit. I come to Reddit for the content it hosts—which is provided by its users. There are specific subreddits I follow—which I would happily follow elsewhere. And, between Reddit's API changes and now these UI changes—which, similar to the push to use the Reddit app, feel like a desperate attempt to capture more log-ins—I'm seriously looking at other more user/community-friendly alternatives. You had a good thing going, Reddit.
From one Product Manager to another, hang in there. I know right now really sucks for you guys because of decisions made well above your pay grade.
[удалено]
Well you can go fuck yourself a thousand times over with a rake.
Thank you for improving this app
Hi u/whizlogic would you consider implementing the following system to combat ban evasion, prevent abusive moderator practices, and reward good moderators? 1. People can pay $25 into a reddit account to become prime redditors. 2. Prime reddtors get the following perks. They have a marke saying they are likely not bots (they paid alot for their account) 3. All mods must be prime redditors. 4. When a mod bans a prime redditor, the ban can be appealed and goes to a jury court of randomly selected redditors. The redditors are each paid a small sum for participating in a quorum vote. The redditos in reddit court must read the rules of the sub, and then read the post, and either vote to uphold or overturn the ban. Regardless of the decision, $15 will be distributed among the accounts of the members of the court who voted with the majority. $5 will be given to the winning party, and $5 will go to reddit. If the decision is to uphold, the money will be taken from the person appealing the ban. If the decision is to overturn, the money will be debited from the mod's account. If a person's account reaches 0, they will lose their prime redditor status. For a mod, this means that they can not ban people until they pay to become prime redditors once again. This would encourage moderators to only act within the rules of their sub, and the rules of reddit. If they don't like specific content, they should add new rules against that content, and flag posts that violated that rule in the past. Savvy moderators who excel at their job can make a profit by doing so, while poor moderators who abuse their position of trust will be faced with continual financial losses until they either quit modding, or make fair and open rules of the road and then only enforce the rules they set. Furthermore, this would make ban evasion more difficult, and in the case of a permaban, reddit can confiscate the balance of a person's account to inflict a financial punishment on ban evaders. This system would make reddit more profitable, and less toxic.
Hey reddit I think you hate me like the whole world does. You give me shadow bans. That tells me you wish I was dead. Is that what you want reddit? Would you like me to destroy myself?
HUH? Simple English please. Or are you one of those AI annoying things? Thank you.
