The new redesign of Reddit has not been welcomed by everyone who uses the site.

The website announced its appearance was changing in a post on the home page of the social media site.

The Reddit Team said: ‘The feedback that we’ve received so far has been incredibly helpful in building the reddit you see today and shaping our roadmap for the future.’

But hundreds of users left complaints about the new look, with some using bad language and others relying on good old fashioned sarcasm.


A user named ‘Lurking Grue’ wrote: ‘These fonts are huge and it’s amazing how cluttered and distracting this new interface is.



‘The redesign reminds me of Google’s styling of colouring and layout and I fucking despise it.’

‘Mystical Azreal’ added: ‘Change doesn’t bother me, but this redesign is just straight awful.

‘Everything is huge, the look reminds me of googles design which is fucking hideous. Seriously guys, don’t do this. Its just the worst.

‘Granted the current style could use some work. But the redesign is repugnant.

‘Is there anyway I can just never use the redesign? Ever?’

Others even took to Twitter to put the boot in, by branding the new redesign ‘awful’ and demanding they be allowed to revert to the old website.

Aussie Fox tweeted: ‘Just had a quick look and it gave me flashbacks to 90s websites. I really didn’t need that.’

Love for the old version was so strong users were sharing hacks of how to bring it back – including opening Reddit in an old browser or sharing tips on how to switch to ‘classic’ mode on the site.
