After all this time I still had one Reddit tab left open to r/Ukraine, to see updates on the war.
Today I noticed that they have removed the option to use new.reddit.com to see the site as it was before the latest update. The current site design is so bad and slow that I immediately closed that tab.
old.reddit.com still exists for those diehards.
Probably varies a bit from sub to sub, but old reddit users are a clear minority. The vast majority use the app
That doesn’t feel real.
Yeah it’s wild that a lot of users likely don’t even know reddit is a website. They only know it as an app on their phone.
Same for Facebook, to be honest
It’s definitely real, at least for the amateur astronomy subs I (used to) mod. I suspect a lot of the traffic to askastrophotography or telescopes is from people googling stuff and browsing though mobile web, but since /r/astrophotography is just photos, most are just on the app
