And I don't mean the old new UI that the people who use old.reddit like to complain about. I mean, a proper, new, twitterfied, shitty UI.
I haven't heard anyone talking about it, which might mean it's being slowrolled out, but it's possible I just missed the announcement and discourse. Or saw it and forgot. It's funny actually: I saw the logo and rebranding on a graphic design blog the day before it went live, but missed the UI redesign entirely.
Here it is:
I've boxed out the subreddits that would narrow down my location, but otherwise this is what it is. Oh, and I suppose the "recent" widget would be open by default as well. The thing about that is, if you drop into any sub, the name goes in the recent list. You drop into a weird sub you don't want people in your house knowing about? Well, you better go visit 4 other subs. There's no way to permanently keep the drawer closed or turn it off.
Below that, you can see all my subreddits and learn a great deal about my interests. It was certainly enlightening for me, having them all thrust into the light of day like that. I had a visceral reaction of disgust seeing some of the old subs I don't really follow anymore. A locus of old interests that seemed important at the time, but trite now. And of course, visiting them puts the sub name in the recents list. Right where you don't want to see it.
The feed defaults to "cards" mode, and seems to revert itself occasionally if you turn it back to "classic". Gone are the days of skimming the post headlines to find the content you want, the endless boredomscroll is here instead, just like every other site. This might be the worst part of it.
You'll also notice the recent posts feed on the right has a few subreddits I don't subscribe to in it. This used to be where you could easily access posts you had visited earlier to check the comments again. Now it exclusively has posts I have not clicked on, meaning it's likely driven by an algorithm trying to determine what I want to look at. Spoilers: I don't want to look at any of those posts, and I'm genuinely embarrassed r/SipsTea is up there. Again, there's no way to turn this off.
The feed itself seems more algorithm sorted than it used to as well. Sorting by best no longer delivers the top post from all your subs, but shuffles around posts at random, weighting subreddits you visit more more heavily. If you click forward and want to come back to a post you saw before, good luck finding it.
I... look, I know we were supposed to jump ship from Reddit. I tried, but some of the communities I'm a part of have been irreplaceable. It's been hard to let go. And yet, I feel like I'm being punished for trying to continue to be a part of them.

Calling out all fans of Rise of the Guardians, fans of Guardians of Childhood, animators, voice actors, fx artists, sound designers, writers and more!
Hello! Lumi here with another update on the rotg/goc animated series.
To those whom are unaware of this project,
In short, a team of artists and myself are making a fan animated tv series of Rise of The Guardians and Guardians of childhood respectively. Seeing as this is an independent project, and Dreamworks(c) holds ownership of the movie, we are trying to be as careful as possible in raising money and hiring artists. Last year, I had started a Go fund me to raise money for programs used for the project, as well as paying the artists that work on the project. In the future, raising money will be done through selling the product of our own original characters; a separate entity from Dreamworks(c) and from William Joyce’s properties. That being said, in order to make this dream a reality, I ask for you’re help. Our team is small, and we could use all the help we can get. We are still in the pre production stages of development. Any artists, especially animators and storyboard artists, are needed to help speed up the process. I ask the Rise of the Guardian community in particular. I have seen your posts about wanting a sequel, a second movie or a tv series. I was there, in the comments wanting the exact same thing. It frustrates me to no end that there could have been a trilogy of rise of the guardians! It was with the last book in the series, what felt like the end of the fandom, that I realized, we cant wait around for Dreamworks(c) or Peter Ramsey or William Joyce to make a sequel. Every day it feels like the fandom is growing smaller and smaller, as there is less and less content. From one fanatic to another, I ask for your help. To create a love letter of sorts to the artists who worked on the movie, to Billy Joyce, and to the fans that have given so much of their time and dedication, all for the love of the movie and the books.
currently we are working on concept art and the script for the pilot episode. I ask that If you do come aboard the project not to spoil what we have so far for everyone else.
If you are interested in joining you can DM me on Tumblr, Instagram or email me at [email protected].
I hope to see you soon!
