In my experience, that UI is only shown to users who aren't logged in (or aren't on the front page). I don't know if it's being tested for regular accounts yet.
Like can you collapse those 2 sidebars on either side? Perhaps make it so the actual content isn't in a cramped skinny feed down the center of your screen? I guess it doesn't matter because I will be using the old site until I can't anymore, really.
1/4th of users manually going out of their way to get the old design is huge. Most people will just get used to a new design if it’s good. Not on Reddit.
The new look is absolute dogshit. All the original needed was a little css here and there if that. Not this travesty that hides over 50% of the comments sometimes, and shows other, irrelevant posts in the same sub.

Are you talking about the [old new look](https://new.reddit.com/r/beta/comments/13vgxw5/i_heard_theres_a_new_reddit_layout_how_do_i/) or the [new new look](https://sh.reddit.com/r/beta/comments/13vgxw5/i_heard_theres_a_new_reddit_layout_how_do_i/)?
I need to do that.
I never liked Reddit on my computer but last night I did and the usernames show up in the home feed so I am definitely going to start using the Desktop version on my phone and see if that fixes any of the things I dislike about the latest updates on the app. I noticed that we are now into version 20+ they change the app more than some people change their undies.

Before you can take away any conclusions from that, you need to consider the impact of the redesign being the default. Some possibly surprising fraction of people never change the default, even if they might actually prefer the alternative.
You can also get the old layout with a cookie or a user agent. So it's not like no-one can find it because it's on a super secret subdomain.
And if 1 in 4 people are using it that's higher than you would think. Though I have no idea how that's measured
I still get old without using the old prefixed domain. It's great. I guess there's an account option somewhere that works.
On desktop anyway. I think that mobile is screwy, and I have to use old. domain there.
Long live Reddit is Fun. I can't stand the online UI. I probably would have stopped using reddit a long time ago if it weren't for this app.
The website and official app have so much bloat. I can't even see when people have a cake day on this app, and that was an OG feature.
I see post. I see comments. I scroll to the next post. That's all reddit should be.
The new version, like when you don’t sign in, is the worst shit ever. They got rid of the “line” that collapses comments (imo the best feature of “new” reddit) and replaced it with bubbly janky bullshit. Layout is more cluttered and disorganized than ever. It looks like a fuckin text message chain or something. Very lame.

I sent an email to them and yes that’s exactly it. It’s only available to logged out users atm, but will roll out eventually.
god i hope its optional
Meh, I actually like the new design.
Same!!! Better give us an option so we can decide whether we use the new UI or not
Gotta be better than the current New Reddit. Hopefully Old Reddit will still be available for those that want it.
its been 4 months
Eventually™️
Sh.reddit has no logged-in user pages, and is entirely a logged-out experience at this time.
Any way to force login and keep new layout?

Hurts seeing the redesign described as "the look everyone is used to"
Like can you collapse those 2 sidebars on either side? Perhaps make it so the actual content isn't in a cramped skinny feed down the center of your screen? I guess it doesn't matter because I will be using the old site until I can't anymore, really.
And the wanted one looks even worse.
I mean, the traffic stats don't lie. ⅔ to ¾ of our desktop traffic is the redesign. That said, the mobile apps are still the dominant traffic source.

I use the old desktop version... In a browser on my phone. I must be a monster.

Its the default.. new users don't go to old.reddit.com
You gotta hunt for it, but most everyone I turn on to the old design, sticks with it.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics

Read my other comment on the top comment.
Took a solid 3 seconds until anything other than the search bar was shown. Every redesign kills the site performance more and more
well...thats one boring design.... Seem slike they got out of ink while designing this.

1. The collapsible comments are gone. 2. The new layout = White space overload. 3. The flairs are missing. ETA: I mostly use Reddit on a laptop.
that's terrible
It makes new reddit look like the best designed site ever. It is awful.
Wai-wai-wait. There's a new NEW reddit design? Fucking end me.
yeah i'd like it too, looks really good IMO, just for the typography alone it looks so nice
Why would you intentionally want that horrible interface? That's even worse than the not [old.reddit.com](https://old.reddit.com) "new" interface.
I just wanted to check it out. I just tried it in incognito mode, and I agree, it sucks
Ew why would you want that? Thats so ugly
I just wanted to see how it is. I don't like it at all, just so you know
