Not a ton, but I'm thinking something like this[1].

I've never heard of this site. Thanks for sharing it, I've been browsing it for hours now and no longer need to visit reddit.

Oh...well, that will probably just end up looking like this.

Please don't do this, it's just going to end up looking like all the other sites out there and that's a shit ton of whitespace. Reddit's UI is *Reddit's* UI, this is what's made Voat so popular so fast, because they jumped on your band wagon. An old saying comes to mind, if it ain't broken don't fix it.

Has anything changed today to "push" the mobile site? I usually browse reddit on ipad using desktop with no problems but in the last hour or so anytime I navigate somewhere it becomes the mobile site. Am I missing something?

I feel like I just got rick-rolled, or is that digg-rolled...

Oh man please don't let digg-rolled become a thing.

Huh, I never knew how bad it was first hand until now. Didn't even wait for the pictures to load, just looked at the spacing between stories and threw up a little in my mouth.

The sad part is that some admin actions have been so mudfucking stupid that it's impossible to tell if you're joking or not.

That's not linear. The English language reads left right, top down. I could see something like that giving me a headache as it appears like a bunch of separate pages displayed in a grid.

I really like the card UI in the official Reddit mobile app and most of the 3rd party Reddit apps. I think something like that could be implemented into the desktop site to be more intuitive. I hate seeing an interesting looking post or thread, clicking on it, and being taken to a whole new page that I have to navigate away from to get back to my homepage. Plugins like RES help with resuming where I left off, but the current UI feels clunky.

People have said that it is classic and is what makes Reddit, Reddit, but the UI can be pretty off-putting for new users. I'm sure things like this have been said before, but I think there is a middle ground to be located where the classic style is retained but made to be more streamlined and intuitive.

I can absolutely concur with the stat listed above stating that the card UI boosts engagement. I am personally much more engaged on the mobile apps because everything is displayed much more directly.

Just things to think about from a newer user.
