Some are okish. My biggest problems are ads pushing content off the limited screen space, "please download our app", some just don't render well and skip around.

Funny enough, i went back to find some examples of ones that really drove me crazy and they have gotten better(snowboardforum, nasioc and wetcanvas). One's even got a big announcement about their ui update on the front page.

I do think the threaded style of comments is much better then the forums though. Ignoring the problems of upvotes.

I started using reddit is fun years ago, so i guess i do use an app for that. My account defaults to old.reddit.com I have no idea what the new ui looks like, except for the login screen.
