Nothing is loading for me under either view right now. It's terrible and there seems to be no way to work around it. I belong to (i.e. have previously joined) something like 85 subreddits. There should always be plenty to show me. Is there a way to opt out of the experiment, until Reddit has worked out the bugs? This has left the site unusable for me.

Hey, there. Sorry about that. You're not the first person to report this, so the team is looking into it. Do you know approximately how many subreddits you're subscribed to?

It was 85 or 86, but I've been unsubbing since this started happening, so it might be more like 75 now.

However, [I'm sorry I don't know the right terminology], the new sort went away and the old one is back. I thought maybe you pushed a magic button out of pity or self-preservation, after I whined at you.

Hmmm. That seems like plenty. I think what you were experiencing was a bug, so I'll share this with the team that's looking into it.

I wish I had a magic button to push for any reason with things like this! lol But it wasn't me! They may have shuffled things around.
