You may have just heard it from me first: I know a guy that knows a guy that says that the next upcoming self-inflicted injury on the Reddit site is an imminent removal of the "old." prefix that has been used to un-fuck the interface and make it more bearably usable. They're already bleeding out users, especially active content-creating users, so this will only accelerate evacuations of the carnival tents as the circus fire spreads.
You can't even properly search for stuff within subreddits on mobile Reddit, so my workaround is to use oldreddit for searches, but mobile Reddit for other stuff.
When they kill oldreddit I'll probably use it even less. Right now I still use it but for apolitical stuff because libs are annoying, unsubscribed from all defaults.
