    so instead of browsing /r/all, my mobile experience will consist of solely visiting the handful of niche subreddits i have favourited? thanks, I guess?

    seriously this, it’s dogshit if you only go to a few subreddits, even if they aren’t favourited. I gues /r/random will have to do a lot of that heavy lifting now. It’s going to be subreddit 50/50 - either you boring or great subreddits, or furry stuff.

      I dont believe Random is a thing anymore. Its been a while but last I checked clicking on it said the sub had been banned.

      edit: yup banned. It says it was banned 3 years ago due to being unmoderated. Whatever that means.

        dafuq? r/random used to just be a vanity link that redirected you to a random sub. how you gonna ban that… unless you know you’ve chased off all the people who do the work of making the site you run worth while and showing random subs will just put that on disply

    This was the death knell for me. It’s been slowly getting worse year after year and the change to disallow third party apps (and later changing it to allow API access with a payment) almost sent me off for good.

    But like… without the r/all page, there isn’t even a reason for me to go there anymore.

      Maybe the people here can use ammunition like this to convince their friends and coworkers to abandon Reddit too.

        Because they care about anything that does not directly involve them? They would already be gone if that was the case.

    Hell this is exactly why I am here at all. I noticed it was harder and harder to use Reddit: algorithm taking over. All moving to harder to find places, and it seemed even then to be more flooded with what was recently looking at instead of just general community vibes.

    Searched for Reddit alternatives…

    I’m so tired of engagement algorithms.

      Yeah I think we take for granted that the replies/posts are mostly by real people here, or at least I do. It’s like forgetting that you have to argue with your OS after using linux over windows.

        since they removed nudity, all that is spammed is that creepy ass loli fandom, i think the implication might be simpler to understand if you understand their power users

            Anime girls. Lots of anime girls.

            People as normal do just call everything anime loli because hating in anime is popular still for some reason.

            There is of course loli in the mix anime has plenty of loli. But to claim it’s just loli is flat out trolling.

    IIRC, the Reddit’s r/all is akin to Lemmy’s /all, right? If this proceeds, then it’s also similar to Mastodon’s Live Feed (global firehose), which recently (few weeks ago) got deactivated by mastodon.social admins. I wonder if both situations have any direct relationship.

    But how will I learn of the niche Australian woodworking community, and then share my uninvited opinions with said Australian woodworking community?

    funnily i never used r/all in the first place. i always wanted to see the subreddits i subbed, and i didnt want much more (i didnt use reddit much so i was comfy, and i discovered subreddits in other ways). still this feels like removing half reddit.

      Same. I always find it weird how apparently most people don’t make use of their own custom feeds and instead rely on r/all, or, even worse, let what they consume be dictated by an algorithm. And this goes far beyond Reddit. This place, YouTube, Twitter/Bluesky and pretty much any of the big platforms.
