New Reddit interface is basically completely intended for content consumption vs. old Reddit’s focus on comment sections and barebones visuals.

If there were more attention given to this, and perhaps new names like ‘compact’ vs. ‘full’, users could extract the value they want from the site.

As it stands, going to the new Reddit mobile website is unusable to the point of malice; something needs to be done to mitigate that first and foremost.

As a fellow holdout on old.reddit.com, I was somewhat shocked to find out that there's a "new new reddit": https://sh.reddit.com

It's not built on react (I think it uses https://lit.dev/[1]), and the performance gains are pretty encouraging.

1: https://lit.dev/

If it was somehow compatible with RES and had CSS support, I'd endorse it wholeheartedly.

Unfortunately you are in a small minority of users. Only about 5% of pageviews last month came from Old Reddit in one of my subreddits.

I’ve personally used old Reddit for many years too and love the experience that makes finding and navigating to your communities fast and easy. If I wanted to get to r/cricket, there it was, right at the top of my page. In fact, old Reddit is a big part of our inspiration in making Reddit simpler - and simpler everywhere - no matter what platform or device you’re using.

TL;DR I get it, old Reddit is easy and familiar, but hopefully all of Reddit will feel that way soon.
