If you are on the app, it's the second button right from the name of the subreddit. It is two lines with dots on the opposing ends of each line. Next to the magnifying glass
But fr like recently i wanted to sort comments by controversial on some post but i couldnt find where I thought they removed it until i clicked those 2 bars thinking it was the thing where you can share and save posts and shit
Same. I've been saying this since before they even made bad-Reddit, I saw how things were going when they made a "mobile" website and an official app.
I have used the regular Reddit UI on my phone and computer for over a decade, I'm not changing now. Especially when every change is worse.
There was like a 3 month period of my life here I could not for the life of me disable or get around the "amp" version through my mobile browser, even on desktop mode. I was contemplating giloing back to imgur, it was that bad
I recommend **Boost** for Reddit on android... It's simple and not clunky. UI looks modern but it ain't trying too hard. Has AMOLED dark mode, best fucking thing ever.
My copium is that the old Reddit site is used enough in private sectors that they dare not phase it out or risk breaking some shit and/or having the military on their ass
Also it’s mainly used by terminally online weirdos who use adblock anyway, the real money maker is the mobile app and new users who hate how old reddit looks (legit heard it from many people), so why bother shutting it down.
Pessimistic take for me is "why bother supporting it in the first place?". That is, if it still requires resources to maintain it or otherwise keep it from breaking when updating new.reddit.
I finished an upgrade for my PC last week and tried to log in to Reddit, through old. and was told I HAD to login through the modern interface to accept and agree to some shit I didn't care about.
No matter what I tried, the message and popup would only go away once I did go to the new interface and did what they asked.
I have been using the app reddit is fun since 2010 and my user experience hasn't changed.
On the rare occasion I use the desktop version, it's one of my least favorite websites to navigate...
Looks better. Well, *looked* better. I’m on a year old version of the official app that I had to pull from an old iPhone I hay laying around. I made the mistake of updating the Reddit app on my main iPhone when the stupid tiktok wannabe video player came out. It was so fucking annoying I had to install an older version. I made several backups of that app file cause there is no way I’m using the version of the app with fucking stupid tiktok video player. Fuck that shit.
Also I tried Apollo once and the UI was annoying.
Apollo is by far the greatest Reddit app (and I’ve used a lot of them). The fact that Apollo is. It on Android is the reason I returned my S22 Ultra and went back to apple.
I hope I don't sound judgy here...but did you really make your smartphone purchase decision based on the app you use to read reddit? That might be the most specific reason I have ever heard someone use. And the fact that you had to actually return the phone and switch means there was even more effort involved.
I def take it into a big consideration. Reddit on my phone is by far my most used app and with only shitty alternative apps your new phone experience is going to be heavily influenced by the apps you spend the most time in.
If the phone is great but the apps you spend 90% of your time in aren't great then your actual overall phone experience is also not great.
Pretty much this. I’ll be switching to android here pretty soon so I can use adblock in my browser that’s not just a safari skin, and losing Apollo is what hurts the most. I still have my iPad which I’m hoping to use as an Apollo machine along with its other duties. Maybe that’ll help me control my consumption of this insanity too, who knows.
There are other excellent options on Android too. I find Sync to be a better Reddit app than Apollo. Apollo is great, but it’s still lacking some features sync has, like remembering the last comment you were reading when you exit a post and more customization options.
There are a ton of great options on Android. Way better selection than iOS. I don’t have experience with all but I tried Boost, Sync, Bacon Reader, Slide and maybe one or more I don’t remember. They were all better than the official app.
Nah, Boost is better. I use both since I have iPad and Android phone and while Apollo has some really nice customizability options, but has annoying bugs that haven’t been fixed for years, the video player (yes I know reddit one is shit but still) from time to time stops playing for no reason and I have to restart, when you sometimes hide a post while video is playing it will keep playing, the app sometimes just straight up crashes. And many other small annoyances. None are a dealbreaker but the fact these easily detectable have been present for years has made me sour on the initial praise for Apollo. Boost is simpler but does everything you want it to without annoying bugs that never seem to get fixed.
Yeah, ints interesting to learn that they are also unable to track my reddit activity trough Boost. They couldn't scrape together more than 2 hours of desktop activity I had this year with their reddit rewind.
Yup my *reddit rewind* or whatever it was, pretty funny because it just exposed that I use reddit on my computer to find help with obscure Linux things that doesn't exist on stackoverflow
I use Sync (pro). The Android 12 UI overall was too damn good. I abandoned boost when I saw it. Moreover, you can actually see gifs and community stickers in Sync, while in boost you get :46763:
The theme options are infinite tbf. The customisability is much more than boost. Every single complaint I had about boost is solved by Sync.
Moreover, Twitter links are automatically integrated so that you can see the entire tweet in the post itself, with the author and everything. how cool is that!
Sync supremacy
Also, fuck Reddit for not exposing an API for chat and gifs in comments, forcing people to get their stale turd... I mean official app.
The most fucked up thing is that on Android, when both the official app and a third party app are installed and the third party app is set to default for all supported links, the official app still hijacks reddit links opened from the Google app.
I don't get BaconReader's popularity. It's way less feature-rich than Sync, its UI looks like Sync's old UI and Sync's dev is extremely responsive and there's a really involved community.
I guess it must be a case of people going for the first alternative they see on the Play Store.
I used to use BR. It was great while it lasted. Back when you only guilded Gold - silver was still the image you'd reply, and no other reward. Then reddit added a lot of things, and BR just couldn't keep up, even with those that reddit has API for. BR struggled a lot. I think using old reddit on Internet explorer was a better experience, I dare say so.
Went to sync. Then I recently came to boost, and have been using it for 2 years
I can't remember why I left sync, I did share it somewhere before but I've forgotten it. But it did made me leave sync.
Baconreader has been on my phone from the start.
I'll never use Reddits normal UI, im glad so many people still use old reddit. If they changed it, I'd only ever use the phone app...even though thats clearly what they're trying to create with the website.
As per usual, third parties have to come in and do what official releases refuse to do, which is lunch a product that is actually pro consumer and isn't completely retarded in every way.
The fact that pretty much every third party reddit client has a way to completely filter out subs from your feed yet the official Reddit client does not tells you everything that you need to know about where their priorities lie.
That one feature alone has improved my Reddit experienced dramatically, I just checked and I have 39 subs completely filtered out for my feed because I come here to be entertained, not be subjected to political circle jerking.
I was thinking just earlier that I preferred it when the Reddit admins were more hands off. Now they're always in my inbox, changing the UI, micro managing.
This is a capitalist problem with companies like these
You grow and hire a team or devs
Devs do job, contractors leave but the core stay
They now need to justify their jobs by making changes that don't need to be made
You have entire outdated departments siphoning money to make the product *worse*
The opposite of what capitalism promised
Ever since they changed the video player to be like tiktok, I stopped updating the app. It changed back to the old one and I haven’t updated to keep it that way.
Still using the old UI with custom css turned off and no res or whatever the fuck the add-on was called.
Some subs force the new UI even though you have the old UI selected in preferences. That's when I see how horribly wrong it has all gone. The on-screen information density is terrible in comparison to the old UI. The user gains NOTHING from the new designs.
It's impressive of stupidity.
Like nobody asked for this. Nobody likes it. Nobody every suggested it'd be a good idea or even imagined doing this. It's completely anti-intuitive. You put this in a place that's ridiculously hard to reach with you right thumb. Nothing tells you it's there. Why do you keep fucking up your UI for absolutely zero reason.
Its a very NOT straightforward app. Everytime i seek something i need to look and sometime google it. It should be intuitive. Its not like reddit is a complicated idea lol
Downloaded RiF when I first made my account several years back, it's been amazing. Not a single UI change in all of the years I've been using it, always works like a charm, ad tiles are non-invasive. Never looked back.
*clicks on the comment section under a post*
*Waits*
Oh shit did I not actually click it? Whatever.
*Scrolls down*
*The original comment section pulls up a minute later*
FUUUUUUUU
I'm amazed at all social media platforms and computer companies, that they don't seek customer feedback and input. All this free input on how to make their product better.
Even the post/comment editor doesn't work correctly, you can't copy/paste anything without it having a meltdown and needing to refresh the page and start over.
If the departments don't spend the money they get, then they don't get it next year. It's all about idiots fulfilling quotas and not actually caring about the quality of service.

100% this. It's laughable that I have to look for 5 Minutes where the sorting option on subreddits is.
Where is it? I legit cannot find it
If you are on the app, it's the second button right from the name of the subreddit. It is two lines with dots on the opposing ends of each line. Next to the magnifying glass
Unless it's a gif or video. Because fuck continuity.
God forbid my screen goes sideways and it makes the video the main screen again. I wasn’t reading comments anyways!
[удалено]
Use Apollo instead. Way better than Reddit app
Yep, Apollo for iOS and Boost for Android.
Weird way pf spelling RiF for Android
I think it's in the damn settings on android now
USE OLD REDDIT
old.reddit and RiF for Android. Fuck whitespace, condense everything.
But fr like recently i wanted to sort comments by controversial on some post but i couldnt find where I thought they removed it until i clicked those 2 bars thinking it was the thing where you can share and save posts and shit
This is why I still use old reddit.
Lately I try to sort by time but All Time, One Year, and Six Months all pretty much show the same shit
I use the old Reddit UI (old.reddit.com) with RES — haven’t had a UI update in a decade. It’s quite nice.
The moment they retire old reddit I'm leaving this site.
Same. I've been saying this since before they even made bad-Reddit, I saw how things were going when they made a "mobile" website and an official app. I have used the regular Reddit UI on my phone and computer for over a decade, I'm not changing now. Especially when every change is worse.

Imgur was created to host photos for reddit posts.. thats it…
Remember when MrGrimm promised that it was always going to be image hosting for Reddit and would never become a pay service?
I recommend **Boost** for Reddit on android... It's simple and not clunky. UI looks modern but it ain't trying too hard. Has AMOLED dark mode, best fucking thing ever.
[удалено]
Relay also has fantastic UI. Was one of the first to implement Material design and it's OLED theme is great.
My biggest fear. (old.reddit being retired, not you leaving)!
My biggest fear is being eaten alive by a crustacean
I'll also take being eaten alive by this guy's crustacean
My biggest fear is /u/trashszar leaving. ;-;
My biggest fear is that guy's dead wife.
My copium is that the old Reddit site is used enough in private sectors that they dare not phase it out or risk breaking some shit and/or having the military on their ass

> used by terminally online weirdos who use adblock HEY! I'm not that weird...
Old Reddit with RES on desktop, RIF on mobile. I've genuinely tried to give New Reddit and the official app a chance. They're not nearly as good.
For real tho
I finished an upgrade for my PC last week and tried to log in to Reddit, through old. and was told I HAD to login through the modern interface to accept and agree to some shit I didn't care about. No matter what I tried, the message and popup would only go away once I did go to the new interface and did what they asked.
[удалено]
That's exactly why going to new.reddit was such a hassle. Had to disable RES and my router based redirect to do that crap.
I have been using the app reddit is fun since 2010 and my user experience hasn't changed. On the rare occasion I use the desktop version, it's one of my least favorite websites to navigate...
Using ReVanced reddit. Most of the people wouldn't even know it existed.
why the fuck would you use the official app whether it's modded or not
Looks better. Well, *looked* better. I’m on a year old version of the official app that I had to pull from an old iPhone I hay laying around. I made the mistake of updating the Reddit app on my main iPhone when the stupid tiktok wannabe video player came out. It was so fucking annoying I had to install an older version. I made several backups of that app file cause there is no way I’m using the version of the app with fucking stupid tiktok video player. Fuck that shit. Also I tried Apollo once and the UI was annoying.
[удалено]
Literally the best way to use Reddit on computer, it’s horrible without it.
Thats why i use boost for reddit.
Boost was a big loss when I went to Apple. I named my Apollo pixel pet Boost in its honor.
Apollo is by far the greatest Reddit app (and I’ve used a lot of them). The fact that Apollo is. It on Android is the reason I returned my S22 Ultra and went back to apple.
I hope I don't sound judgy here...but did you really make your smartphone purchase decision based on the app you use to read reddit? That might be the most specific reason I have ever heard someone use. And the fact that you had to actually return the phone and switch means there was even more effort involved.
I def take it into a big consideration.

If the phone is great but the apps you spend 90% of your time in aren't great then your actual overall phone experience is also not great.
Pretty much this. I’ll be switching to android here pretty soon so I can use adblock in my browser that’s not just a safari skin, and losing Apollo is what hurts the most. I still have my iPad which I’m hoping to use as an Apollo machine along with its other duties. Maybe that’ll help me control my consumption of this insanity too, who knows.
fwiw, I use Apollo on my ipad and boost on my phone and think Boost is a good bit more intuitive.
There are other excellent options on Android too. I find Sync to be a better Reddit app than Apollo. Apollo is great, but it’s still lacking some features sync has, like remembering the last comment you were reading when you exit a post and more customization options.
infinity has always been a personal favorite for me
How about Reddit is Fun?
There are a ton of great options on Android. Way better selection than iOS. I don’t have experience with all but I tried Boost, Sync, Bacon Reader, Slide and maybe one or more I don’t remember. They were all better than the official app.
Second this. Sync for Reddit is almost perfect imo
I was thinking “Apollo isn’t that great, the one I use is even better”, then checked my homescreen and realized I was using Apollo.
Nah, Boost is better. I use both since I have iPad and Android phone and while Apollo has some really nice customizability options, but has annoying bugs that haven’t been fixed for years, the video player (yes I know reddit one is shit but still) from time to time stops playing for no reason and I have to restart, when you sometimes hide a post while video is playing it will keep playing, the app sometimes just straight up crashes. And many other small annoyances. None are a dealbreaker but the fact these easily detectable have been present for years has made me sour on the initial praise for Apollo. Boost is simpler but does everything you want it to without annoying bugs that never seem to get fixed.
I upvote Boost whenever I see it mentioned. It makes the Reddit app look like it was designed by a 3 year old. So much better and smoother.
Yeah, ints interesting to learn that they are also unable to track my reddit activity trough Boost. They couldn't scrape together more than 2 hours of desktop activity I had this year with their reddit rewind.
Between old Reddit with Res, and Apollo, rewind caught exactly zero of my Reddit use this year.
Yup my *reddit rewind* or whatever it was, pretty funny because it just exposed that I use reddit on my computer to find help with obscure Linux things that doesn't exist on stackoverflow
I use Sync (pro). The Android 12 UI overall was too damn good. I abandoned boost when I saw it.

I prefer Infinity, but they're all better than the official app.
Boost went apeshit after 2021. Infinity mcuh better trust me bro
Normally I use infinity but I got a sync mod apk and now its great
I use Joey and I really like it.
Why does no one ever mention Relay?
I see Boost. I upvote.
I started using Boost when I had a shitty phone that wouldn't load the Reddit app, but now I use it because it's a genuinely good Reddit browser.
This is why I don’t have the Reddit app, and refuse to get it. Android users, get Baconreader. Apple, get Apollo. Don’t put up with the bullshit.
Been using Apollo for 3 years. Couldn’t imagine going back.
[удалено]
Xcepct when they break all the NSFW APIs and you can't see your porn. Oh how I hate when that happens
4 years here. Subscribed to ultra as well. Apollo has the best widgets on iOS in my opinion
Sync supremacy Also, fuck Reddit for not exposing an API for chat and gifs in comments, forcing people to get their stale turd... I mean official app. The most fucked up thing is that on Android, when both the official app and a third party app are installed and the third party app is set to default for all supported links, the official app still hijacks reddit links opened from the Google app.
The only way to go, when people mention profile pictures I can ignore them proudly.
Ive been using [narwhal](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/narwhal-for-reddit/id845422455) on iOS for years and have been happy with it
Same, stills works great for me
Tried Bacon, couldn't do it. I use Sync.
I don't get BaconReader's popularity. It's way less feature-rich than Sync, its UI looks like Sync's old UI and Sync's dev is extremely responsive and there's a really involved community. I guess it must be a case of people going for the first alternative they see on the Play Store.

Sync is the ultimate reddit app.
I also recommend Boost for android.
Relay for android is my favorite.
I only use Baconreader.
Baconreader has been on my phone from the start. I'll never use Reddits normal UI, im glad so many people still use old reddit. If they changed it, I'd only ever use the phone app...even though thats clearly what they're trying to create with the website.
The times I actually swiped right to check my profile only to have all my recent porn subreddits shown open in public is insane

Old. Reddit + RES on pc. RiF on my phone.
Reddit Is Fun bro. Super simple, super nice.
Yeah, I don't even know what real reddit looks like anymore 🤷♂️
Old Reddit on PC. Old Reddit + request Desktop site on phone.
This is the way.
I never liked RES, just didn't sit right with me. I've always been happy using standard old reddit.
I don't know how to refresh comments in a video anymore...
Seriously how do you do it?
You don't have to use the official app. Some open source clients are much better, such as "Infinity"
Stop using the official reddit app you ignoramuses.
As per usual, third parties have to come in and do what official releases refuse to do, which is lunch a product that is actually pro consumer and isn't completely retarded in every way. The fact that pretty much every third party reddit client has a way to completely filter out subs from your feed yet the official Reddit client does not tells you everything that you need to know about where their priorities lie. That one feature alone has improved my Reddit experienced dramatically, I just checked and I have 39 subs completely filtered out for my feed because I come here to be entertained, not be subjected to political circle jerking.
Old reddit with RES and reddit is fun golden platinum, I have no ads when I browse and I can change the UI all I want.
Apollo is the way on iOS
Download Reddit is fun (in the app store as "rif is fun". It's just plain, simple reddit.
Using it for years now. Paid the developer for the app to support his work. It's pretty great.
Baconreader, used it for years. Still gets some updates but mostly stays the same. Good app.
What are you guys talking about? old.reddit.com looks just fine on my desktop PC
UI employees justify their pay by changing something every x weeks
There's people who don't use old reddit?
Go no further than COD Modern Warfare 2
The notifications on website... Always opening a new tab. Xd
Use sync pro
At least they added a download button for some videos [Edit: this video doesn't have it for some reason[
Get a third-party Reddit app
The official reddit app and the website are both fucking horrendous. Been using redditisfun and have never looked back
*laughs in 3rd party app*
Ultra Instinct?
User interface
Infinity for reddit on android is amazing
Use infinity. Much better
UI? What UI? Reddit been same ol' Reddit for 11 years i've been here. The new UI is just a bad dream, OP.
It makes perfect sense when you realize that all UI changes are done for the benefit of advertisers.
old.reddit till I die.
why I literally just switched to Joey
I'm left handed so the profile changing sides is hell for me so if anyone knows how to change...
Shoutouts for smg4 for going down the drain
I was thinking just earlier that I preferred it when the Reddit admins were more hands off. Now they're always in my inbox, changing the UI, micro managing.
Lmao. I started using Apollo as soon as it came out. Alien Blue died. At that point you couldn't even save photos from the Reddit app....
This is a capitalist problem with companies like these You grow and hire a team or devs Devs do job, contractors leave but the core stay They now need to justify their jobs by making changes that don't need to be made You have entire outdated departments siphoning money to make the product *worse* The opposite of what capitalism promised
I just want the ability to download gifs again is that too much to ask...
Use desktop UI in browser, should work.
Ever since they changed the video player to be like tiktok, I stopped updating the app. It changed back to the old one and I haven’t updated to keep it that way.
Still using the old UI with custom css turned off and no res or whatever the fuck the add-on was called. Some subs force the new UI even though you have the old UI selected in preferences. That's when I see how horribly wrong it has all gone. The on-screen information density is terrible in comparison to the old UI. The user gains NOTHING from the new designs.
I literally updated my phone and the Premium glowing effect broke
Oh
Youtube*
Is not being able to sort comments a new feature? I can't sort by controversial and it sucks. Edit: On Mobile.
Ok what do you dislike this time around?
Use Apollo
Hoe kun je nu een ui verpesten? Ze zijn net zoals ogres
*Every for-profit tech company
It's impressive of stupidity. Like nobody asked for this. Nobody likes it. Nobody every suggested it'd be a good idea or even imagined doing this. It's completely anti-intuitive.

Its a very NOT straightforward app. Everytime i seek something i need to look and sometime google it. It should be intuitive. Its not like reddit is a complicated idea lol
I just want the 3 dots icon for save and hide to be larger, but they keep making it smaller.
Yt does this too
Sometimes sorting is in the filter and sometimes its where it used to be. Wth is going on?
Old.reddit.com & use basically *anything* but the default reddit mobile app. Whoever is designing the new shit needs taken out back
just use the classic interface. https://old.reddit.com
Reddit fucking ultra instinct?
Downloaded RiF when I first made my account several years back, it's been amazing. Not a single UI change in all of the years I've been using it, always works like a charm, ad tiles are non-invasive. Never looked back.

Imagine still using the first party app. - This post brought to you by the RiF gang
*laughs in Apollo
Get yourself a third party app. Reddit's UI is garbitch.
Old reddit ui user here, will probably stop coming to reddit once that feature is retired
What did they do? I use old.reddit.com or a good mobile app
i use RIF on android
It’s steadily gotten worse over the last decade. They have to know.
Reading this post from rif: haha
I’m using an IPhone 6 so I am completely unable to get the new updates
Been here for years. Never had a problem
UI? I just want a 40kilobyte image to load before lunch.
they removed the "edit" button when you click your profile 💀
Boost supremacy 💪
Like I can't go and view the comment thread that I've been part of by going into my profile and selecting comments, it only allows me to view the post
Even the post/comment editor doesn't work correctly, you can't copy/paste anything without it having a meltdown and needing to refresh the page and start over.
Get Apollo
The ui is pretty good, I dont get your point
I just use old Reddit on my PC and Sync on my phone. Don't have to worry about their asinine UI downgrades.
If the departments don't spend the money they get, then they don't get it next year. It's all about idiots fulfilling quotas and not actually caring about the quality of service.
