‘Classic’ is probably the closest to the current Reddit that its users know and love, while ‘Compact’ removes preview images to fit more posts on a single screen. Users will have a choice of three different designs. The redesign will hopefully mean that users will one day not be reliant on a browser extension to efficiently use the site. However, a common joke amongst Redditors concerns how the browser extension ‘Reddit Enhancement Suite’ has become almost essential for using the site because of the lack of functionality built into Reddit itself. Reddit’s current design is beloved by its users for its information density as well as being very load-efficient thanks, in part, to how outdated it is. However, with the 2018 redesign you’ll access it through a smartphone-esque ‘hamburger menu’, and it will have a much more modern look, with priority given to your favourite areas of the site. Currently, this menu has a very simple and dense text design, and can be accessed by clicking on the ‘My Subreddits’ hyperlink on the top left of the screen. The biggest change is a new menu bar that runs along the left-hand side of the screen, which will display all the Subreddits you’re subscribed to. The new interface is currently being rolled out to a small subset of users, reports Wired, but will slowly become the default site design over the next few months. The social media site, which bills itself as ‘the front page of the internet’, has looked more or less the same since 2008. Reddit has started showing a redesigned version of its site to users, marking its first interface changes in a decade.
