Is anyone else seeing a newly designed Reddit.com that’s clean and not bombarding you with notifications to download the mobile app?

(I’m wondering if I’m being A/B tested or if this is the new Reddit. Hope it’s new Reddit)

EDIT:

This is what I see:

Interestingly, the link leads to OLD.reddit.com

Is this some HN global setting or are people really linking to OLD.reddit.com?

I believe there is. All about 150 submissions of the last month had the 'old.' in the URL.

This is a joke, but yes old.Reddit still exists. I use it, and if it goes away I’m likely to stop using Reddit at all. It’s so much more information rich than the new design.

I think HN changes the URL to use "old.reddit.com" instead of "reddit.com"

But why? I know some people feel nostalgic about this but the old version IMHO isn't really better.

Instead of checking old.reddit.com, I just went to reddit.com

Nothing looks different over here from how it's been for months
