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.
There's nothing here!
