Reddit redesign is getting forced onto users without an opt-out option

Happened to me a few days ago, and I just can’t believe how bad this redesign is!!

It’s hard to comprehend what goes into the heads of that dev team, but they basically ruined everything nice about the platform. The API changes were pretty much a fatal shot already, but this new redesign seems to be what tipped the scales for me, and hopefully many more.

It’s a great time to switch to Lemmy, and I think I’m going to make the effort to stick around and abandon the habit of opening reddit multiple times per day.

Do you think forcing this re-design will bring more people here? I’m hoping for that. Reddit betrayed us and I can’t find it me to keep forgiving them for every horrible, anti-user decision.

I noticed in some moderator subreddit, that it is planned to kill new.reddit.com as well. Old will likely stay for longer, but new is what I got used to, and if they take it down I won’t bother getting used to the newer, garbage UX.

I would truly like Lemmy if there were social communities like in reddit instead of what you just described. 2something4you, fantasy, hfy, roleplaying, cats, yurop, etc etc. We need all of that fun stuff

All of those things exist here. I feel like you guys haven’t explored other instances maybe because while the parent commenter is right, there is a lot of the topics they’re tired of, there’s plenty of other stuff. And there’s plenty of fantasy, role playing, cats, there are a few 2[blank]4you spots.

i just use the Everything option in Sync. I expect it to just bring ‘everything’ available in lemmy

Me too. I spent 8 months blocking communities and it’s starting to get bearable.

I’ve tried roleplaying on Reddit before but I could never get the format of it. just feels really weird rping on a thread with multiple nested posts instead of one constant scroll. I feel like discord is better for RP

I don’t know what that means.

Can I see that from my lemme account?

Until the fedivrs has a eli5 about how it all works, even tech minded people like will find it a frustrating experience to find subs that I want to participate in

What are you using to browser Lemmy? The website and the apps usually just allow you to click on links like the one before to visit a new community. And that is valid for every lemmy instance, so you should be able to see it from your Lemmy.world account.

Interesting communities for you
