Hi folks,

We created the r/redesign community back in 2017 to help us get feedback from a few hundred alpha testers. In 2018, when we began to rollout the redesign to more people it morphed into a bigger community with more discussions, bug reports, and feature suggestions. We’ve truly appreciated the r/redesign community and all the feedback and ideas that you’ve shared with us over the past two years.

Earlier this year, the redesign was rolled out to all redditors. While we’ve continued to work on improving new Reddit, we’ve broadened our focus to include platforms like iOS, Android, and mobile web. As a result, we’ve decided to archive r/redesign so that bugs and feedback can be directed to more specific locations.

What this means:

• We’ve disabled new submissions to r/redesign
• Later this week we will archive this community. You'll still be able to browse and search as normal, however, you will no longer be able to post or comment
• In the future, if you have any feedback for us or bugs to report we’d recommend you head over to r/help, r/modhelp, r/modsupport, r/bugs or r/ideasfortheadmins...and of course, you can always find information and contact us at www.reddithelp.com
• We’ll continue to post any big changes in r/modnews, r/announcements, r/redditmobile, or r/changelog
• We’ll also continue to work on improving the redesign, exhibit a: wiki editing

Thanks again to everyone who joined us here and gave helpful feedback. It’s been a wild ride.

Goodbye for now

Currently I noticed some NSFW subreddits no longer show up in Google results for queries like subreddit's name + reddit. I checked and saw the meta tags noindex,nofollow have been added. What's the reason?

Like if you go to a post then click reply it asks to login. You say eff that jazz and click X.

The site goes a random spot at the homepage missing your place embedded in the comments. Not to mention you had to click “load 3 more” twelve times and then “continue this thread” to yet another’s page.

The site is basically a total mess on code and we are 2 years+ on some VPs decision for a steaming pile of trash.

When is reddit fixing this or bringing the old FUNCTIONAL design back???

I want to copy the removal reasons of several subreddits I moderate to redesign native on top of toolbox, making changes as necessary (e.g. replacing {variables}, combining the header and footer into the main body) preferably by script/bot. By extension, I guess I'm also asking if the API exists for creating removal reasons or if it's possible through something like PRAW. If that's the case, I can probably write a script to do so myself. But if somebody's already done so, would you be so kind as to share? Thank you!

I hate the redesign. I was comfortable with the prior interface, but most of all, I NEVER REQUESTED A CHANGE.

How do I ensure all reddit links open in the old version, please?

So I found a bug when it comes to wiki page. On every wiki page I have it where "Show this page in your wiki index" and "Only approved wiki contributors for this page may edit" is enabled.

If you try and view the wiki page it states:

"Sorry, this is a moderator-only page You must be a moderator of r/AstroGaming to view this page"

Hello. With the newest round of changes, I seem to be missing some information that I'm used to seeing.

If I'm viewing any multi-subreddit view (home, frontpage, multireddit, whatever) I see the subreddit that the post came from, but I do not see the user who posted it. When I am on a subreddit, I see the user who posted it in that spot. I would prefer to see both in multi-sub views.

I do not see the upvote / downvote count anywhere on the list views any more.

Also, the layout wastes a ton of space while making it less digestible. I'd like some margins or padding to make things less spread out across the width of my browser. It probably looks great on mobile. I have apps for mobile. Make it look good on desktop and mobile.

Thanks. Generally I do appreciate the modernization work. Just try not to lose things that are central to your platform. Seriously, how can I not see the upvotes?

I always get logged out of my phone every few days, but I've been logged onto my PC for a while. I just got kicked out again on my phone two hours ago which was normal. I assumed whatever bug was just not fixed on mobile browsers somehow. Just made a comment on my PC though then clicked on a subreddit and was logged out.

Did something change recently?

interestingly if I change Community content sort in the settings I can still access Rising.

Having to do dropdown -> Profile -> new page -> Saved is ridiculous

I still see lots of people doing the "just commenting to save this..." - people aren't even aware that Save is a thing.

Why in the world is the Reddit redesign using nearly 4GB of RAM, 82% of my CPU and 226 Energy Impact on Safari using a 2017 MacBook Pro with 16GB or RAM and an i7 processor? This is ridiculous. It's so bad that eventually Safari reloads the entire page automatically and I lose my place on the site.

I like the idea of the "discover new communities" but it seems to be permanently stuck on the same output.

​

It's jumped on r/childfree , and likes to "discover" a lot of bad relationship subreddits (I don't want them, but I can get that they might be related).

​

but it never changes. Why doesn't it mentions somehting because I have joined r/metroid or r/dataisbeautiful , or anything I might be interested in?

​

It would be great If I could tell it where to look or if it would look elsewhere.

Check the sidebar of /r/riddles. Rule 3 has a spoiler tag. When I click the spoiler tag, I'm noticing that the accordion closes instead of revealing the spoiler.

There is currently a workaround (at least in my setup). If you click and drag to highlight part of the text of the spoiler, the entire spoiler tag will be revealed when you release. As long as the highlight starts and ends inside of the spoiler tag, it removes the background color

I have the setting checked that says 'default to markdown', and text posts (like this one) are in markdown, but leaving comments it keeps defaulting to fancy pants and not markdown. It's driving me up the walls! Lol. Keep having to edit posts and remove the escapes. This has always been slightly buggy, but over the last couple of days it is every single time, so I'm not sure if there was just an update or something. Thanks!

When I click on the thread on the newly redesigned mobile reddit site, The posts take up about half the page and the rest is taken up by the top posts of the subreddit, which I don't want to see.

It's clear that a large consequence of the redesign was the homogenization of subreddits and the loss of customization but I'm wondering if there are subreddits that still manage to maintain a unique look and make great use of the widgets. I need inspiration.

One of the things I am always puzzled about reddit is... it has two text editor features related to code...

One allow you to write code inline

Another one allows you to write code blocks.

class LikeThis {
  func getUltimateAnswer() -> Int { return 42 }
}

Yet, there is no syntax highlighting, is there? I tried the extended markdown syntax, but the editor (or when posting) it drops code blocks and any information associated with the language.

I mean reddit, this feature has been discussed in several communities such as: Javascript, Python, C, Help, Here (about a year ago), Here (about 4 months ago), surely there are a few more... I just didn't bother to continue looking for it... but it seems there is a bit of demand for this functionality... yet this feature is constantly archived and ignored.

Is there a reason why syntax highlighting ins't a thing on reddit?

They look too similar in my opinion

Title says it all. When I middle click the preview image to open a thread in a new tab, it works if it's a static picture, but causes me to enter into scrolling mode and not open a tab if it's not. There is no way to tell either.

This is very annoying. Please make it consistently clickable to open a new tab.

Tonight I received a "digest" email, which is apparently a new feature. It claims at the bottom that I received the email because I opted in to the feature.

To my knowledge I have never consciously enabled this option, which strongly suggests that the option defaulted to "On". I immediately turned it off, but a better approach for features like this would be to require explicit opt-in rather than opt-out.
