View submission: Making Redditing Simpler
Unfortunately "decluttered interface" looks to me like Reddit is gonna get a lot more generic.
Is the goal to further mix all subreddits and have most users just browse through their home feed or all the entire time?
I think Reddit should focus on what makes reddit unique instead of trying to beat Meta or TikTok at their game, where they have a headstart and years of experience.

That's *always* been the way reddit worked, very very few people browse by subreddit.
What they're doing, with the videos thing, is turning reddit into TikTok. Which is funny, given how much time they spent with image integration to turn reddit into 9gag. Always chasing, never leading...

I'm not sure if I even see the difference. Is it just changing the community info to be a link instead of a slide menu on the subreddit home page? This looks nearly identical to how my reddit home page interface already looks.

agreed but I think being able to just go into "tiktok" style mode will be great. Wow 18 years old... hard to believe.
