I really hope we will have an alternative or some 3rd party client because reddit is still a great way to get information or "socialize" with same minded people.
The new design is literally unusable.
The stacked modals so that less than 1/3 of your screen is used for content. The laughably terrible performance and failure rate when loading comments that don't show on the main thread page. The fact that comments more than 3-4 layers deep can't be expanded on the same page and to see them you have to go to a different page. And when you do that, it saves your vertical scroll position so that they jump you past all the contents you were trying to look at, to where the 'related posts' are. Like honestly how hard is it to build a UI where the comment tree expands in-place?
I honestly think it's the worst engineered site on the internet that operates with that scale of users.
How so? I don't see what changed on that front.
