It took me a long time to even realize there was more to things than KIA2. Is there an article or page describing the relationship between the sites? Are they a lose confederation of sites working together or all under the same umbrella? Anyone have some answers or a link handy or a smug youtuber breaking things down?
That sounds about right, we improved our communication around 6-9 months ago, although I still wouldn't expect PMs to get read.
We've actually been particularly bad about communication in the last month or so, which is kind of intentional. c/Meta was out of control, because everyone knew we would read and respond to everything.
What a delayed query, anyhow most communities do not have the old stuff, there is not like reddit with a .old url and more like this site which use the old .win address and have not updated their version.
I think it's a decent start to bridging the gap between the very outdated Reddit interface (which is clearly superior to the newer interface) and modern design. I don't feel that's a mobile design blown up to desktop size.
Here's my own comparison, in which we're clearly a whole lot closer to the old Reddit interface than the newer one: https://i.imgur.com/94Gd47Y.png
It's true that the recent separation of the sorting bar (hot/new/etc) from the top navbar has made our interface feel a lot more like the newer Reddit interface, and that's regrettable, but also necessary.
Why are you bridging to "modern" design at all? Who is asking for this? What percentage of .Wins are on Mobile?. The new interface has made my phone unusable for wins.
It looks great. It's centered on the screen so you don't have to crane your neck to read it like the old reddit design straight from 1998. The font is also more modern and readable. I'd like easier navigation between .wins without having to return to the home screen but that's about it.

Short and inaccurate but close enough summary:
The "dot-win network" is basically reddit.
Reddit-in-exile.
We're pretty responsive... particularly in c/Meta.

Probly the FBI.
No way to get the old interface, except for some of the old communities might have it on their old links.
What was the old front page .url???

Beyond the limited page width, there aren't too many similarities to Reddit's new interface. We don't auto-expand content by default, for example.
You can set the page back to full-width from the profile menu in the top right.
