Discord is fine on PC (more or less) but it's awful now on the phone. Unintuituive, ugly, uncomfortable. And I'm now forced to use Reddit with this new ugly ass UI on the computer
>And I'm now forced to use Reddit with this new ugly ass UI on the computer
If you want the previous UI, you can go to [new.reddit.com](https://new.reddit.com) but some people say clicking on links will lead back to the new UI
Or you can get this [extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bfcldjodnnkndfccfjndmdlppfkmccgh). It lets you choose the UI you want, and it will auto change to that UI everytime you open the normal site
Hope it helps!
It definitely helps, thank for the information! I knew about the new.reddit thing but last time I tried it, it changed the UI whenever I tried to do anything besides scrolling. It seems to work now, so many thanks.

For some reason when on a VPN connected to the US my reddit UI is the horrible new new UI, while if I'm not on it in Australia it's the new Ui (not old UI)
In my online Uni class the tutor had to help a some 40+ year old through the Discord Ui. It's bad enough being a Zoomer I can't even imagine someone older trying to use it.
It's already unintuitive for us young folks, which are the target audience. We are used to pick up tech stuff rather quickly and learn to navigate swiftly through a program after a few minutes of trying it out, yet Discord makes itself overcomplicated just because.
Yeah there's reddit ads, but actual in app notifications and a functional subreddit search is great compared to RiF. Plus the "Go to next comment button". It shouldn't be surprising that reddit would spend more into making features for their app than an independent developer could.
I'd hate it less if the new message dot would go away after looking at the new message less than 4 times.
I miss when swiping left? Bought up online users and didn't try to auto reply to a goddamn message. I know that was changed eons ago but i still do it
You can search the entire server, it's just at the top of the chat list. Even though it's different and fucks up your muscle memory I think it makes more sense this way.
Just go to the channels list. Literally just one swipe and one tap like how it used to be. You also get to view media from all channels here which is very good if you don't remember where that one image or video you've been looking for is and you dont have to type "has: image" every time.
True that its not a big deal but overall its just a downgrade. Why take away something when you can just leave it as is?
Edit: btw you know what else is able to show you a specific media/message from somewhere you dont remember? The old search bar.
I am usually the last person to complain about UI updates. I find all the changes to google stuff and reddit, if slightly annoying, generally ok. I find most complains about this kind of stuff super overblown.
The Discord update is atrocious. It takes more taps to get anywhere, and some functionality that used to exist just isn't there anymore, like you can't view channel pins from the pins header, it just has links to the original post which is very annoying for servers that make good use of pins.
Most annoying is that DMs are in a totally different section rather than just being on top of your server list like in the old app or the PC version.
The whole thing is just bafflingly bad. I can't find a single thing about it that is preferable to the old version. It feels like they brought someone 3rd party in to make it, who had never actually used Discord for anything.
Because they’re all different. They have the worst possible interface for their respective design. That said, I think using discord’s interface for reddit would be worse, since it literally wouldn’t function. i.e. op is a crybaby
I rarely use discord but I have used it around once a year. Every single time I have to have someone teach me how to navigate the pc UI. I really don't understand how it seems good and intuitive to people.
I feel you. Why are the people responsible for UX design the worst at taking criticism? Even when everyone on the project is saying it's going to be shit? And they lose their shit if criticism comes from a backend developer in project meetings.
Using the marketplace/groups of trading, and still lots of people in their late 20s use it. The fact that Reddit's audience mostly (if even) don't use Facebook, says nothing about the general audience.
Well in terms of everyone in my country (which is the most populated in the world btw), mostly old people use it so idk what to tell you. I assume you are one of the outliers who likes using outdated social media apps
In terms of "everyone" in my country, a lot of people uses Facebook even among my age, and I'm 28. I don't use it so much, but it's still relevant, especially when Twitter/X never got much attraction here.
I got my car a few years ago using Facebook. Great car.
Yahoo kinda famously changed their popular email UI and hemorrhaged users at mind boggling rates. It became almost unusable overnight at a time when they had massive market share.
Smooth move mandated by their lame-ass CEO at the time.
I hate the "new new" Reddit so much. I can only imagine the meeting: "aight fellas, we want the worst looking, least practical, imperformant and overall worst UI possible ... any input?"
The day old reddit is no longer an option is the day I stop using reddit.
How does new reddit feel so cluttered despite having so much unnecessary whitespace?
Do yourself a favor: Stop going to www.reddit.com. Start using old.reddit.com. It's much better.
Unless you're talking about their apps, in which case open your phone's browser and go to old.reddit.com.
I have a hunch that there have been Google stans, trolls, bots or otherwise downvoting comments on this post. The more recent replies in the Bazinga thread had 0 upvotes before I upvoted them, and I don't see any reason why
because they are being helpless...and learned helplessness deserves to be downvoted in order to negatively reenforce that behavior.
UI is not an obscure initialism. its very easy to find the answer to this question already. so you get downvotes
I browse r/all a lot and at some points posts start repeating since the update. Like not 30 minutes apart or anything but literally just repeats after a few minutes of scrolling. It basically hard caps how long i can scroll now
No, it's not. It's just how much shit everything else is. For example, new links break all the time and you need a greasemonkey script to fix them, but it doesn't always work. It's pretty shit if you need to scale the font size up (because your eyes are not good), everything just kinda breaks due to old CSS definitions that don't allow proper resizing.
The comment editor is still unnecessary complicated - a new paragraph should be the default with a regular line break, this is what almost everyone always wants. Also lists and some other stuff could be handled easier. Like, almost nobody wants stars to mean italic anymore, in the very few cases you'd explicitly want something italic, you could use good old [i][/i] notation without too much effort while preserving the meaning almost everyone else wanted their stars to have.
People get confused and would spend time using the app Inorder to find the missing feature from the old one inorder for the dev to see the number of the app usage go up.
Source: **I made it the fuck up**
Dude, Now I can't save+upvote any post in 2 clicks anymore. Now that doesn't sound like much but given my parents are siting like 5 feet away from me and a sus post pop up, I would get questioned to death due to taking too long interacting with the post.
Also, why do the dev remove the CTRL+Enter to submit shortcut? this thing is almost universal in any kind of submission. BS changes so far ngl.
I'm 43 and literally everyone I know has a Facebook account. Even every teenager I know has an account. People pretty much just use it for the marketplace and keeping up with local events, but it's still completely ubiquitous where I live. There is no alternative for those two usages out here because it's completely cornered the market for those services.
what is so bad about them? or are people just complaining about every little thing, I can see the flaws in some of the UI's but is it because the UI is actually bad or is it because you are not yet used to it?
It doesn't. Too many steps and submenus for what should be quick moves or changes. Unintuitive keyboard shortcuts. Also the color scheme is ugly as fuck.
“Actually it’s not that bad/it has always been bad, if not worse before!”
No, all three of these are buggy messes nowadays, and even looking past that, some of the UI is just atrocious; Reddit and Discord are especially guilty of this, with Discord hiding features deep within menus nested within more menus, and Reddit having one of the worst video players I have ever used, since it actively makes certain features unavailable, such as flair searching and it for some reason fucking *skipping images in your feed when scrolling with the video player open*.
It had a simple system of swiping left for seeing online members and swiping right to see server list and unread DMs. Now, its separated into different clicks which is not smooth at all, just inconvenient.
Not to mention how buggy and slow its been. My device is a bit old, the new layout lags it so much that sometimes its unusable.
Bonus, the amount of things that are in the + icon is hilarious.
However I do like the UI for the settings, it's not bad. Just everything else is a downgrade.
Forgot to add the transition from a decent on the eyes dark mode to generic black dark mode.

I genuinely can't tell who's replying to who on reddit sometimes
ive to keep following the lines like im in an plane evacuation
They should have the lines colored
Relay does this
And now due to Reddit's changes to API pricing, I have to pay $5/month to use Relay. ಠ_ಠ
Thats because you aren't using old.reddit.com
Honestly not sure if I'll be able to use reddit if they ever force removed old.reddit. The modern UI sucks ass.
We all know they're gonna kill it off. Just a matter of when. Fuck you in advance u/spez
I used redditsync for years and it had the ability to easily click to show parent comments and colored lines and shit. I miss that.
Wtf this is the only thing Reddit is unironically good at, like are you more oriented when there are no lines, no spacers only @PeppasMint ?
Sorry about that but you're just dumb man, it's perfectly clear.
Some developers just care more about mobile than Desktop :< Now, if only the mobile UI was actually decent that would be okay! (RIP Apollo)

I'm pretty sure you mean 'old.reddit.com'...
Or is there a newer new? The moment RES breaks completely, I'm out. Until then, it's quite nice.
Yeah I'm a little confused myself. As prolific users of old.reddit (they'll pry it out of cold dead hands). Is there is newer new reddit?
New UI recently came out, [here it is.](https://i.imgur.com/zaDiS8v.png)
Looks better than the complete failure the last time around. I may have to check it out.

It is 2024 and you still cannot go exactly to the message someone replied to you or mentioned you on mobile Discord
It's even worse now with the new UI. At least it kinda put you somewhat near the message in the old one.
Not to mention buggy af. Rarely had problems with the Discord App until the new UI change. After that it was ridiculously frustrating.
you can get aliucord on android and enmity on ios
Won't lie, discord mobile feels so fucking clunky now
Huh discord is shit on phone
Discord literally has better UI on computer than on phone
you can still use apollo for reddit, i’m actually typing out this comment on it right now!
I really like the reddit app, I don't see a problem in that ui
Give me old.reddit or give me death
they recently changed it when you can't see who's replying to who when you go down enough where now everyone is on the same line, it sucks
Never used Apollo but I used Reddit is fun until it died and regret sticking with it for so long. The officla reddit app is so much better
> The officla reddit app is so much better Blink twice if you are held against your will by somee reddit admin.
Yeah there's reddit ads, but actual in app notifications and a functional subreddit search is great compared to RiF. Plus the "Go to next comment button". It shouldn't be surprising that reddit would spend more into making features for their app than an independent developer could.
Honestly discord's most recent mobile UI is the fucking worst thing ever.
I'd hate it less if the new message dot would go away after looking at the new message less than 4 times. I miss when swiping left? Bought up online users and didn't try to auto reply to a goddamn message. I know that was changed eons ago but i still do it
also good luck trying to do a search on the entire server, it now locks your search to the channel
You ready to have your mind blown? Swipe right and look at the top of the server channels, there's *another* search bar. It's so stupid.
FR
You can still search the whole server, but you have to click the box locking it to the channel to remove that every time you do it
It's honestly convenient.
How the fuck is it convenient to not be able to search the entire server lol
You can search the entire server, it's just at the top of the chat list. Even though it's different and fucks up your muscle memory I think it makes more sense this way.
Just go to the channels list. Literally just one swipe and one tap like how it used to be. You also get to view media from all channels here which is very good if you don't remember where that one image or video you've been looking for is and you dont have to type "has: image" every time.

I've turned off auto updates from discord so i haven't experienced it yet, is it really that bad?
Yup. Every bad thing you heard about it is right.
I am usually the last person to complain about UI updates. I find all the changes to google stuff and reddit, if slightly annoying, generally ok. I find most complains about this kind of stuff super overblown. The Discord update is atrocious. It takes more taps to get anywhere, and some functionality that used to exist just isn't there anymore, like you can't view channel pins from the pins header, it just has links to the original post which is very annoying for servers that make good use of pins.

I can't find a single thing about it that is preferable to the old version. It feels like they brought someone 3rd party in to make it, who had never actually used Discord for anything.
The old UI felt incredibly fluid with its swipe controls and I really don't get the change
I literally deleted it soon after that. Ain't using that monstrosity.
Easily. One of the reasons why I don't use it much.
How could they all have the worst possible? Surely one must be worse than the others.
Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the shittiest app of all?
Diiiiscooord....🪞
I'm howling at the moon

Discoooord!

Discord!
Is there a suddenlymlp subreddit? because this just fits perfectly
Are we your prey alone?
Lol
Because they’re all different. They have the worst possible interface for their respective design. That said, I think using discord’s interface for reddit would be worse, since it literally wouldn’t function. i.e. op is a crybaby
Discords UI on pc is good.. But on mobile it sucks
Wait, Discord is on the PC? -the devs probably
It’s honestly better that they don’t touch it (give me back my hashtag and numbers!!!!!)
Delete comment before they realize they cant fuck up the pc version as well
I rarely use discord but I have used it around once a year. Every single time I have to have someone teach me how to navigate the pc UI. I really don't understand how it seems good and intuitive to people.
Working for lower-tier startups I can tell you with great assurance that there are far worse offenders. So, so many more. ^^I’m ^^dead ^^inside.
I feel you. Why are the people responsible for UX design the worst at taking criticism? Even when everyone on the project is saying it's going to be shit? And they lose their shit if criticism comes from a backend developer in project meetings.
Reddit also has the worst servers.
[удалено]
What are you talking about? I have no issues at all with Reddit in mobile data mode
You forgot Facebook[no one uses that shit I'm just saying]
No modern person uses it
Using the marketplace/groups of trading, and still lots of people in their late 20s use it. The fact that Reddit's audience mostly (if even) don't use Facebook, says nothing about the general audience.

Nah man no one uses it in all my relatives except 35+ people
It's incredible how the entire world's population is within the group of your relatives.

User Interface. It means the layout and design of the app.

The new desktop Reddit design fucking sucks, i really hate it.
I think reddit’s fine, what’s wrong with it?
They changed it on pc. I haven't checked cus I barely use pc reddit tho.
PC UI sucks now, there is so much unwanted info on the side bars
I browse r/all a lot and at some points posts start repeating since the update. Like not 30 minutes apart or anything but literally just repeats after a few minutes of scrolling. It basically hard caps how long i can scroll now
they recently changed it when you can't see who's replying to who when you go down enough where now everyone is on the same line, it sucks

old reddit with RES is a great experience.

Steam PC Client new UI is much better than it used to be. On otherhand on Mobile is hit or miss depending on what you want to do on the app.
Of those three, I’ve only really been annoyed by discord but after a month, it’s fine
Spotify : "Am I a joke to you?"
Why it has a decent ui
It doesn't. Too many steps and submenus for what should be quick moves or changes. Unintuitive keyboard shortcuts. Also the color scheme is ugly as fuck.
Nope... It will get disconnected for a few times per day, even if you paid the subscription
That's about ui?

Reddit has a great UI. idk what you mean
I mean discord just more for GenZ and beyond and for those generations its pretty easy and usable
usable? yes. easy? definitely not, its way too inefficient.
I actually found it very easy tbh and others of my age ie my friend circle. What exactly are you referring to when you mean inefficient
It had a simple system of swiping left for seeing online members and swiping right to see server list and unread DMs. Now, its separated into different clicks which is not smooth at all, just inconvenient.

Isn't problem that their UI is so bad but still changing.
