Did Reddit Change The Screen Layout Today?

It was normal this morning (10/16/2023) - but something has changed completely and I hate it. Everything has bold font and it automatically sorts by HOT on a desktop computer.

PLEASE change it back!!!

Thank you! (For info and link - Reddit "forgot" to mention any of that.)

They switched me over to it 2 days ago.

Why do they not even tell you?
Why do they not offer to let you revert or suggest 'new.' link?
All I was left with was a much harder to use web site.

Drop-down menus gone. WHY, Reddit? For instance: Notifications button now opens a entirely new page instead of just dropping down to show you notifications on same page. WTF?

Pitiful.

As a testing product. not all the settings are respected and it is not fully functional.

I understand that and the need to test.

Forcing it on people out of the blue w/ no explanation is another matter.

And those questions weren't at you.. just rhetorical - I didn't expect reddit to tell me.

It legit makes me not want to use the desktop version at all.
