I deleted my Reddit account which kept the old design on it. Now when I occasionally browse Reddit as a non-user, it looks like an awful implementation of material design with tons of wasted space. For example, I see about 1.5 cards per page on my 13" laptop. Who designed this? It is horrid and nearly unusable. Not that I'll be using Reddit that much anymore, but it's like they deprecated the desktop version for mobile-everywhere. There's a reason the form factors are different!



We left up the old design on old.reddit.com if you really want it :p


Stfu , how may weeks before you remove it...


One metric I'd love to see is the comparison between use of the link to visit the old site from the new site as opposed to the link to the new site from the old


Interesting. New users can't access the old design at all?


https://old.reddit.com

I believe it's possible to set that as a default regardless of account age. But it's a PITA.



Not on Android ...



I'm very glad Firefox for Android supports the same extensions as the desktop version.


Last time I checked reddit you could open the dropdown menu from your account name, upper right corner, and OPT OUT of the new design.
