Trying to open new.reddit.com on my ~4 year old phone is slow enough that I have time to get a coffee before the annoying Install Our App popup appears. Imgur is even worse; it takes multiple seconds to load a webpage whose only purpose is to display a single jpg image.


Surprisingly, new.reddit.com on my 4 year old phone took about the same amount of time as my few month old computer to load. They are both unusable.


yeah, I've navigated there several times by accident on my phone while out and about. I never got past the loading screen. at least now you can just go to old.reddit.com and don't have to request the desktop site every time


New reddit vs Old reddit would be an interesting experiment. What if reddit asked you which version you want on your first load? How many people would go for new?
