Recently migrated from reddit. Old.reddit on desktop has a decent information density. Reddit’s compact view i.reddit (RIP) was even better. Desktop new reddit is an abomination. Compact view here shows me roughly 4.5 top-level article headlines on screen at one time (avatars, thumbnails, media previews, etc. all disabled obviously, font size on minimum). Old.reddit shows NINE. i.reddit was maybe 15. Obviously the exact numbers will depend on your system, but we’re wasting at least 50% of vertical space compared to old.reddit and maybe 70% compared to i.reddit. Can we do better here?
I miss more compact view either, I used new reddit compact view with 2 lines, so it would be nice here too, with or without thumbnails.
I’d love this but realistically Ernest is probably already spread too thin trying to address everything. This would be a great project for the community to work on with @ernest’s guidance to ensure that some custom code the community writes won’t break the next time there’s an update.
