i just joined because of this. i was waiting for lemmys community to grow a bit larger first but r/all is literally the only reason i browse reddit at all. these idiots are playing themselves with this crap
Yup. Me too
That’s the problem. All reddit users are waiting for lemmy to be larger without actually wanting to be part of making it larger. It’s a vicious cycle. Fortunately for us reddit is hell bent on shooting it’s own foot
I comment frequently and occasionally post, which puts me in the top % of users per the 90-9-1 rule
Nice! Browsing by All here works great, just block the communities you aren’t interested in. I started out subscribing to ones I wanted but the smaller scale makes All decently readable. If there’s a community you wish was here feel free to start it!
Is there a way to block communities without having to enter them? Sometimes I’m like “icch, that’s nasty”, but I have to get all up in the nasty to turn it off.
There should be, yeah theres some real… eccentric folks here. Maybe a future update will allow “block community” right from the post. Not to my knowledge, apart from going to your user profile settings and typing it into the actual block list.
If you go to your settings, there should be another tab up left that has all the blocking options
Okay, I can just c&p the community name to that page. Thanks!
Welcome!
One of us
One of us!
Me too. TI don’t understand this move
Reddit and X are the two social media spaces where I legitimately don’t know how they’re making money lol.
I mean I guess reddit signed an AI deal for content scraping, but what’s the point if no useful new content is generated.
Even ignoring the fact that its probably the leading reason why Gemini sucks total crap.
They aren’t. They run off of VC money and cheap lending. Most of the sudden enshitification we are seeing is a direct consequence of the end of the era of easy money
my old company wanted to investigate reddit advertising
the smallest campaign started at $10k USD
Not everyone has a product sponsorship. /s
Wow, jesus. When I read this post’s title, I assumed it was being hyperbolic and that they just changed the name of /r/all or something.
Nope. The literal “Front Page of the Internet” that made Reddit what it is is gone. Staggering. What an unrecognizable, catastrophic shithole that place has turned into in the four years since
I’ve beenI was on it as an active user. (Edit: As in “I left four years ago”; didn’t recognize the dual meaning.)That’s about it for me then. I exclusively use r/all. Without being signed too.
I don’t care if I see content I don’t like nor care about. The point is to not be spoon fed some “algorithm”. And it lets me see the state of the platform as a whole.
Lol. I think someone’s going to teach you what an algorithm actually means but it isn’t going to be me.
What is the point of this reply but to publicly announce your smugness. Down voted for low content.
Fuck every algorithm from what controls what I see on social media to the process of long division and the instructions on how to find my tax deduction!
Amazing shit. Love how the hapless community manager has to be all “decision won’t change but you can shout at the wind for all the help it will do” because they literally have nothing else to say about it
What’s Reddit?
It’s like Digg
r/all is too generalized to push targeted advertising on it so every user who spends time on there should in reddits eyes be somewhere else where they can be milked for cash easier
It also trends much more political than /r/popular. (Low quality liberal bait like “DAE think trump bad???” most of the time, but still). Their explicit goal with their “alternative” feeds was to de-rank the political discussions in favor of 9gag-esque slop.
When a big political event happened, you could go to /r/all and be blasted with tens of discussions about it, or go to /r/popular and watch staged animal rescue videos or whatever.
Now I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy necessarily, but it certainly is yet another major loss for free political speech online.
edit: I mistakenly throught they were pushing /r/popular still, but they’re working towards just a “personalized” feed. eh, nevermind my point.
“The r/all experiment has concluded and the decision was made to remove r/all. I’m so sorry. =/ Reddit is leaning toward simplifying your experience to make it more personalized and relevant to your subscriptions and interests. I know some of you have some pretty strong feelings about this and I totally get that! Feel free to leave comments on this post. I will continue to pass along constructive feedback to that team.”
I never subscribed to subs. I read all and individual subs.
The /r/all experiment has ended
Wtf lmao
Feels like a technique the Trump admin would use to justify something atrocious. “This thing that’s always been around? Yeah it was temporary and we’re finally getting rid of it! Nobody even used it!”
Users: /r/all is one of the cornerstones that make Reddit Reddit and a central part of its success
Corpo lizards: we have deemed /r/all is too hard to shape into a surveillance capitalism tool, so we’re gonna pretend it was a beta feature. Now consoom your Personalized Experience ™
Some retard CEO is drooling somewhere over the excel spreadsheet.
Welcome to Lemmy but we don’t use slurs here. The problem with CEOs isn’t that they have unspecified mental illnesses it’s that they’re evil pieces of shit
I guess you don’t watch South Park either? Your loss, it’s an enlightening show
Edgy TV shows don’t affect my beliefs that slurs are bad, and they shouldn’t affect yours either.
If they can use them and it’s okay, then so can I
There are better ways to make this comment.
I know, right? I’m self censoring on purpose
Still works perfectly fine under Old Reddit. Was refreshing the page and browsing it just this morning.
I doubt old Reddit is going to survive much longer. It’s already pretty broken in a lot of ways.
Clowns
When I use reddit, it’s old.reddit exclusively. And old.reddit still has ‘all’ listed on the top.
I don’t use standard reddit, so I don’t know if ‘all’ was on the navigation pane before today or not, but it’s not there now. However, reddit.com/r/all still returns a feed, so maybe the address still works.
I think it says something about Reddit and their UX design that old.reddit.com still exists and is incredibly popular like five or six years after they introduced their sparkly air quote new Reddit
Ha, try eight years!
Redreader still seems to be pulling posts into a collection like r/all. I have had some theories about how it works and have always used it to have an uncurated experience.
I’m thinking it isn’t opening r/all in reddit’s API and it instead kind of builds that selection of posts from everywhere on redreader’s end. I can’t prove it but the fact it’s working now seems to play into this. Maybe I’m delusional.
Either way, fingers crossed reddit doesn’t get sick of blind people getting to control their own content stream and boot it off the API. Would pretty much fit the bill for their shit
edit: They’re actually wanting to kill /r/popular as well which invalidates points I was making, comment withdrawn.
No sweat. I don’t think redreader has a popular filter so I wasn’t aware of it

Yeah removing it is the first good decision they’ve made in years. It was a flaming garbage heap on multiple levels that bubbled the most awful stuff to the front page that was blatantly gamed by bad actors.
Edit: are these downvotes because I’m wrong, or because people skim-read it and kneejerk reacted to “reddit did a good thing”?
It
wasis a flaming garbage heap on multiple levels.This won’t help or fix anything except ad revenue.
