The redesign made things worse and only worse:

  • Login walls for random communities
  • Actively user hostile mobile website that doesn't respect "use desktop site" and tries to funnel people into the app
  • Redesign and mobile app are bloated wastes of resources that do less than old.reddit but using several megabytes of Javascript, unusable with anything less than a stable 4G connection
  • Full of whitespace and rounded buttons that waste screen space, they expect everyone to have 1440p monitors to have a decent UI density

Visually, I actually quite like the look of the redesign (on desktop at least; mobile's a whole other story). But it's so bloated that on my old laptop I could get maybe 10-15 minutes of browsing time before it used up all my ram and dragged my whole computer to a crawl. And it has a whole mess of bugs that make it almost unusable - it feels like someone's CS project rather than the front end of one of the largest sites on the web.
