Reddit changes its appearance after a decade

Reddit recently redesigned the website, marking the first change of this social network after a decade. Wired said that currently only about 1% of users have received new designs, the rest will be taken to other Reddit users in a few months. Until now, those who have seen the new design can switch back to the old style if they like.

On the new interface, the navigation bar is replaced by a menu in the left corner, quite similar to the design trend of many websites such as Squarespace, Wix or Tumblr. The menu will open up feeds, topics you follow (subreddit) and user profiles.

Users can also choose to view Reddit in three modes: Classic View - like Reddit we know, Card View - a bit like Facebook and Compact View - the information is more compact.

For a more intuitive display, Reddit also uses different fonts to distinguish between links to external sites Reddit or links to another post. There is also a blue icon on the main page, r / all, to encourage posting. Posts opened will also be in each 'box' to keep viewers on the main page.

In addition to the interface design, Snoo, Reddit's iconic mascot, is also redesigned more cute, flying over planets instead of just standing still. New users join Reddit, Snoo will be the default avatar before selecting the image itself.

5 months ago, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman explained a little bit about the new design, saying they have been working for the past 1 year. But Reddit's user response to what Hufman said is likely that they won't like the new design.

In a new blog post announcing this change, Reddit said that users do not like it, they can choose the old interface. 'We have no intention of leaving the old page. We want to bring more options to see Reddit '.
