Yeah you often hear how people prefer Old Reddit over New Reddit, but for people who are first trying it out, New Reddit is much more accessible. I joined Reddit in 2013 and there was definitely a learning curve to it.
Maybe it was because I came from a world of Fark/Slashdot/Newgrounds; but “website that is a list of things users submitted to it that may or may not interest me” was a pretty familiar format to me. Old Reddit was still my go-to until June 12th.
“Feed me full content as I scroll” is too annoying. It makes me watch and see things I have no interest in. It’s junk, it’s clutter. Sell me with a headline and a thumbnail sure, but let me decide from there, thanks.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
Rules:
Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
To be fair, neither Reddit was intuitive when I first started using it.
