As part of ongoing efforts to simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization, the final steps to deprecate r/all are being implemented. All links to r/all will now redirect to the Home feed, following the prior removal of r/all entry points. Trending content remains available via r/popular.

Redditors on old.reddit.com, or those with settings that default to the old Reddit experience, will continue to access r/all as expected.

Wasn't r/all just Reddit's "Ragebait Algorithm Central Hub"?

I get that we Fuck Spez and whatnot here... But this doesn't seem terrible?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Not in my experience, but then again, I left a couple years ago so maybe they changed it when I wasn't there.

[–] Omopaladin@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

When they removed all is when I signed up on lemmy

Welcome new friend

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 56 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I can't believe they didn't nuke old . reddit yet. I left when they killed the API that killed off all the 3rd party apps. Deleted my account and never looked back. Fuck reddit, fuck Spez, fuck the greedy corpo that its become.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I give old . reddit a year or two before they remove it.

[–] Liketearsinrain@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is very much unmaintained, I assume they will just let it break since only like 5 people use it still

[–] gapa@feddit.nu 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

There are dozens of us, dozens!

[–] FiddlersViridian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

I was going to post this, but then saw you beat me to it by 15 minutes. Lol

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm entirely capable of circumventing Reddit bans and I'm probably on my 50th+ account by now. I spend most of my time here, but I still have a Reddit account for various reasons. If they finally nuke old.reddit I will at long last peace out for good and never look back. Every time I log in I expect it'll be gone. Reddit excels at making awful decisions regarding their platform.

[–] Jalfred_prurock@lemmy.today 1 points 14 hours ago

I guess I'm a dumbass. I've tried vpns and Tor but I can't figure out how to circumvent reddit's shadow ban. Any easy tips for a doofus like me?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

i assume new devices, new IP, or the paid methods using anit-detect browsers/proxies. the first one is more likely than the latter(since i only know one forum that discusses the latter). i got shadowbanned last year, so i many accounts just incase one got banned, but thier AI banned them all at once(like many others).

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

And I removed all my posts from that platform and replaced them with random garbage. Fair trade

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 107 points 1 day ago (36 children)

Redditors on old.reddit.com, or those with settings that default to the old Reddit experience, will continue to access r/all as expected.

I guess they are just ignoring old.reddit until they pull the plug on that completely

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 7 minutes ago

I truly cannot understand how anyone can use new reddit. It is worse by every metric.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 59 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That will be the day I finally never return. Old Reddit kinda sucks but it's still miles better than the modern abomination.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

Old reddit is a lot more tolerable if you're using it with RES. You probably already knew that, but I figure I'd say something just in case.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

RES is fantastic. Couldn't imagine using Reddit without now.

At which point I will be off Reddit entirely

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago

Same. I've already deleted my account. I use it to find info on niche stuff, if I cant find the info elsewhere.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That'll be my final day on Reddit. I already spend most of my time here.

It would have been the 3rd party app thing, but I exclusively use Reddit on my desktop at work. I got better things to do on weekends.

"in order to simplify Reddit"

Corpospeech has evolved from euphemisms and marketing tricks to being completely divorced from reality hasn't it?

/r/all was the simplest thing ever, the best posts of all of Reddit. It was a normal button/link. It was Reddit itself, "the front page of the internet"

But thankfully there's still "Reddit Pro" and whatever bullshit they came up with since going public. That is so simple!

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's double speak.

People learned the power of words and now they are abusing them.

The American public with all their faults will nearly trust any written word. Anything besides what they've already been programmed to immediately be skeptical of they will readily accept into their reality like good little consumers.

I read this as they learned it was far too difficult to moderate /all and that the easier thing corporate wise was just remove it.

simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization

AKA collect more data for advertisers.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's to funnel users into propaganda bubbles and voids, making it harder for them to see alternate content and viewpoints. It's been pretty obvious with how aggressively they remove and discipline antifascist politics.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Also makes it easier to serve them personalised higher value ads.

[–] Lulzagna@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is the censorship - you can only see posts from subs they white list, or subs you already know about.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 18 points 1 day ago

it's also for the purpose of targeting ads. Even if you don't have a reddit account the home page is still going to tailor the feed to subreddits you've visited in the past or your geo-location for example. this makes it easier for advertising.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

[–] Stormy@thelemmy.club 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Capitalizing it still works, r/All

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

Amateurs don't even use .toLower()

[–] Tim_Bisley@piefed.social 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm on old reddit and I didn't know there was a difference between /r/all and /r/popular? Theres the subs you are subscribed to and then there is the trash main page. What is a home feed? Is that the front page with your subscriptions?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

r/popular i feel you will get the more mainstream stuff, lik news, politics, the ones that filled with the usual propaganda and such. r/all you get that too, but also random subs.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Popular is supposed to be the highest activity subreddits. If you keep scrolling you'll only see older posts from the same set of subreddits. r/all is all the subreddits sorted by popularity, if you keep scrolling you see lower and lower upvote counts.

Your home feed is your subscribed subreddits.
