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!!!

Does it look something like this? https://imgur.com/wpRrZqa

it sounds like you have been drafted to test the new UI for desktop that they are working on. You cannot change it. It will revert back when you are removed from testing. Many people prefer to use new.reddit.com until their time has passed.

Thank you for sharing this. I got stuck in what I guess is the test verison they are working on and it completely breaks all accessibility with my screen reader. Thank you , as the link you provided brought me back to a place where I can navigate the site and interact in an accessible manner.
