View submission: Next steps for new.reddit.com
A couple of things that kept me from using the newest version that I really hope someone can address and answer.
1. On the new.reddit.com[1] workaround it would show titles of threads that I've previous read as gray. This helped to know that I had already clicked on those threads. This was very helpful in popular subreddits where I would sort by new and then I would know where I last left off because the title was grey indicating it was a link I had previously accessed. There is no option for that in the newest version and I have no way of knowing if I previously opened a particular thread unless I remember doing so. This missing feature alone makes me not even want to bother with Reddit at all anymore.
2. Why is the new version sooo sllooooowww. It takes forever for pages to load compared to the previous version.
3. Okay I know I said a couple of things but one more. In the "Card View" if there is a thread with an image it's way too big and the image takes up the whole screen. It makes the site so much worse.
