Anyone know why sh.reddit.com exists? Is it something they plan to use in future? ATM, it just looks justlike reddit.com with a few small style differences.

I believe it was a proposed UI for mobile reddit that they didn't stick with.

And it's still more functional than the app just from a 10 second look

Oh so they're getting rid of then? You happen to have a link with more information about when it was proposed? I can't seem to find any useful information on it.

That .... actually looks and feels pretty slick. Very neat UI.

I get a "Error 301 Moved Permanently"

Edited the OP to explicitly include the protocol in the link. That may have fixed it. Try clicking on the link in post again.

I had to check this out and found the categories under the hamburger menu. Anyone else find it funny that r/teenagers is showing as a community under Animals and Pets?

For me that UI style kept appearing for me while signed out. The dedicated subdomain is news to me.

Edit: It is a read-only experience. If you try to reply or vote, you'll be asked to sign in even if you are already.

[–] mark@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah which makes me believe they're probably going to axe it

[–] mark@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Hmm I didn't have to log in and I'm able to see everything and reply. I just upvoted a few things while on it. Maybe it only works for a subset of users?
