I have poor eyesight and I don’t support this practice of linking old reddit on HN. Old website is unusable for me. I have to load the link in the native app to read it.

ctrl+F doesn’t work anyway as the comments are also buried in a “load more comments” on old reddit too. New website and app have a search comments field.





While true some are hidden, old shows a *lot* more and most of my searches for obscure issues don't yield more viral posts

I have shitty eyesight and old is the only version that’s usable to me because text zooming works far better in the old layout. Are you using a screen reader by any chance?

Screen reader is not available on Safari for old reddit. Also zooming the font is not working: I have to scroll a lot and the layout grt all broken.

Oh. TIL, sorry for pushing back

> Old website is unusable for me.

New website is unusable for me.


Assuming the issue with old reddit is font & element size, does zooming in with Ctrl+ not solve the problem?

I agree. I joined reddit when the "new" design was launched - I could never made sense of the old design. Way too cluttered and unreadable.

I wonder how you're using HN then
