“Over the past few years we have seen a slowdown on the project as people move on, and not a lot of interest in supporting the project. Right now the project is supported by 2 people and these are primarily bug fixes or dependency updates. You can see from the project graph what this looks like in terms of activity, with significant drops over the past few years.”
Interesting as many users are saying Reddit will be unusable for them, and they plan to no longer use Reddit. Well maybe, well maybe not, but interesting that the interest is waning on the Reddit side.
Also sad, apparently around 87% use new reddit instead of old.
Because Reddit is intentionally restricting new features from old Reddit. It’s a ploy to get people to switch.
Not surprising
What’s RES got that teddit.net hasn’t?
The post was not really a “best there is” or comparison at all. It was highlighting the life support aspect due to a waning interest, and an increase in FB type approach by Reddit…
I use old.reddit.com and I’m ashamed to say that I’ve forgotten about RES. That being said, so have most people apparently. I bet the transition to new Reddit killed a lot of average users’ demand for RES.
Shows though how many access through apps, and that also all the “new UI” is not really impressing users. Getting too cluttered.
Facebookization is nearly complete. They got what they asked for.
And added to that, Facebook has just had it’s daily active user count fall for the first time in history - people don’t like clutter, algorithms, data mining…
