Yes but if you use old.reddit.com and specify just the subreddits you want (eg http://old.reddit.com/r/truereddit+technology+science) then you can still get something that's not too crappy.

I wonder how long it'll be before they phase out the old site.

For now I still use it because it's significantly faster and easier to use, but I strongly suspect they want me on their new site.

As long as reddit's API still exists, someone will make a site that recreates the old reddit experience.

I wonder how long they'll keep the API live with so few restrictions and fees. Twitter makes huge amounts of money from selling the kind of data that PushShift gives away for free from Reddit.

Reddit’s mobile site looks like it was made by a group of 15 year olds and doing a my first website tutorial, falling into all the traps there are.

The amount of times it crashes on mobile platforms is insane.

Say what you want about the implementation but the new design is definitely better for watching memes. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the design doc simply said “focus on memes”

It’s definitely not better then old reddit + reddit enhancement suit.

So, maybe, they should have improved the old design instead of creating that insanity that is newreddit.

It's ironic that I find old.reddit.com to provide a vastly superior mobile experience than the mobile-focused replacement is supposed to be.

Agreed. I don't mind the new layout but it is still amazing that after years of this new layout that at least once a week I go to reddit and it can't load comments. I'm not a developer so maybe there is a valid reason but as a user it just seems ridiculous that the site can't do its main function reliably.
