along with the strong censoring that has occurred on reddit throughout the years, they have now removed r/all from the app and while using a desktop/laptop browser. instead of being able to stumble upon new subreddits you never knew existed, it wants to curate what you’re allowed to see
Using a direct link stopped working today and redirects to your subscriptions. The only reason I looked at Reddit was to go to r/all and sort by new to see what was out there.
Reddit slowly migrated away from being informational, to being identity based political vitriol. Want to know what’s currently happening with the president outside of biased left and right wing media? Too bad, but here’s an unflattering picture of him playing golf that we can all rage at, or get banned from 5 different subreddits at once because you don’t agree all cops or landlords are “bad”.
It drives me crazy. And every comment is the same thing - a joke. Usually the same joke.
I was afraid of that. I still occasionally browsed r/all on my PC after work. I’m not interested in their latest or popular pages. I’m tired of algorithms deciding what I should read or watch.
Just let me discover stuff, damn. :(
The techbros: No.
reddit.com/r/All can still get you to the r/all page, but its all old stale content now and no longer updating
Seems to work in RedReader so far.
Old.reddit.com in the browser also still works normally, only new reddit in browser doesn’t. And what kind of masochist would use new reddit over old reddit
I’ve quit it for all except my reading and writing communities at this point, and only because I haven’t found anything comparably sizable. If and when I can, I will be trying to help build up alternatives for those, though. Fuck reddit.
Same for me, I only visit a few niche subs that haven’t gotten traction here and even that I do with decreasing regularity.
