I'm new enough to not have experienced old.reddit so most of my experiences are from the new interface on computer. With that said, the new reddit is crap.
It is sooooo slow. My computer isn't lacking by any means, but infinity on my old pixel phone is still much faster. I don't understand how this is even possible.
The comment box is broken. I can't tell how many times the comment box malfunctioned either in formatting or in other ways after I copy pasted text into it. If copying text makes things buggy, then something is wrong. Not to mention that less frequently, I've clicked on submit after writing a long post just to have it vanish into thin air.
I'm with the moderators for the API issue, but my experiences with moderation there wasn't the best. Inconsistency between different mods, etc. That is a thankless job for sure, and the same problems could come up here or lemmy or anywhere else as the communities grow, but here's hoping that we learn from past mistakes.
But old Reddit is still around!? Just go to old.reddit.com or change the setting to make it your default.
They will get rid of old.reddit sooner or later to force you to look at their ads and thus make the platform more appealing to IPO investors who will see a higher revenue stream from ads. That will be the last straw for me. Meanwhile, I'm getting used to the Fediverse, trying to participate here more, and reducing my dependence on Reddit.
This annoyed me to no end. I often just turned off the fancy pants editor.
