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.
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.
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.
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.

I guess they are just ignoring old.reddit until they pull the plug on that completely
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.
That will be the day I finally never return. Old Reddit kinda sucks but it’s still miles better than the modern abomination.
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.
RES is fantastic. Couldn’t imagine using Reddit without now.
I’m aware of it but I’ve never tried it. Does it work on iOS?
So long as you use a Gecko- (Firefox) or Chromium-based browser, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. There is no WebKit (Safari) support.
At which point I will be off Reddit entirely
Same. I’ve already deleted my account. I use it to find info on niche stuff, if I cant find the info elsewhere.
Last I checked, old.reddit had about 2% of the users. So yeah, it’ll be shut down whenever they get around to it, I’d imagine. Whenever they add something that breaks it, it’ll be gone.
Yeah I think that’s the thing, they haven’t done anything to/with it. Once they do something that doesn’t work on it, they’ll go “oh deary me. Welp, better put it out of its misery” and shut it down.
Before I gave up on reddit completely, I was getting lots of 429 errors. Although asking around, some were, some weren’t. Still not sure they weren’t targeting me - apparently I hit their radar and they ban my accounts whenever they figure out it’s me (I just want to mod in my local subreddit, I’ve slowly disengaged from everything else). heh
They target me for violations that are not violations, used to be I could get 3 months out of an account before a second violation, my last new one I got a violation within the first week for something that wasn’t even close. This is like the us administration pressuring them. Betcha.
they banned me for violations on my “other accounts.”
I don’t have any other accounts.
Unlike other countries we do not have any legal rights to fair enforcement of the rules, so they do not bother. What we do have, is the government telling them to fuck users that piss off them and their pals for other reasons. Israel obviously but others as well.
Silicon Valley is a rigged game, they are parasites,
well, it’s a private platform; their sandbox, their rules. It would be nice if they could enforce them equitably, though.
I gave up on it when I got suspended for the 4th time in half a year. I had been using it since 2009-10 or there abouts. Never had any issues. Then about 18 months ago I started to get 3 day suspensions for the most tame shit. I appealed all of them, every single one that was checked by a human was reverted. Then the last one I had, I appealed, didn’t hear anything from them. So I waited the 3 day suspension run its course, sent a few messages I wanted to send and deleted my account.
Similar here except I went from a warning to a full ban the last two accounts. And for a little while there, when they banned one account, I got a half dozen bans on multis I’d created years ago for some stupid joke and hadn’t used since I created them. heh.
They just really have decided they don’t want the older users around, I guess.
If they have some reason to not like older users that would make sense with my experience. I had like 100,000 comment karma over the last ~13 years. Last month I posted something like “the only way he (trump) is leaving is if 100,000 people drag him out” and got immediately sitewide banned with no warning, appeal denied. That was about the harshest thing I ever posted, 99.99% of my comments and posts were neutral or positive and they could see that clearly from my comment history. I wasn’t there to be mean.
That’s about the level of thing that caused me a coupld of my bans, so sounds about right.
Huh, that’s weird that I basically got away with that. I used to switch to a new account every 6 months or so. It started when some weirdo started to follow me and commenting on every single comment I made. I think it was in 2013-14 somewhere around then. Ever since then, I threw away one to two accounts per year. The past few years it was more like every month or two. I was very active in /r/Formula1, they had 1 month time limit on new accounts, so once I was allowed to comment there, I’d throw away the old account. At times I used multiple accounts at the same time, one got suspended, I just logged into another. I know it was ban evasion or whatever, though it started as a way to keep the weirdos at bay.
Anyway, I never got burned because of that. I guess I wasn’t bad enough to be on their radar.
I as well had people following me around, but also seeming influence agents overly familiar with me, talking down to me like they knew my personal details, which they should not have been able to know, but they might have because of Israel and corporate bullshit. Fuck Reddit. As I saw on a username here, better dead than reddit.
I guess I wasn’t bad enough to be on their radar.
You were a frickin’ saint, because the things I did were either stupid (to call infractions) or really minor. lol.
Or you were lucky or I was unlucky. heh.
time limit on new accounts,
That’s what finally has let me let reddit go - so many subreddits have a thing now where you have to have karma in threads that haven’t hit /r/all yet before you can comment, and that takes time and effort when I just browse /r/all. heh.
“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!
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.
it really is impressive
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Capitalizing it still works, r/All
Amateurs don’t even use .toLower()
This is the censorship - you can only see posts from subs they white list, or subs you already know about.
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.
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?
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.
simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization
AKA collect more data for advertisers.
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.
Also makes it easier to serve them personalised higher value ads.
Their admins could stop being nazi sympathizers too, but that’s a pipe dream.
Lemmy could use an /c/all community default. It’s a catchall for things that don’t have a dedicated community yet. It helps create posts and discussions.
Ani.social has an all option. It’s not a /c/, more of a firehose.
Yeah I think a /c/all needs to be moderated to help keep out garbage and direct similar posts to a new /c of their own once they reach critical mass.
That makes more sense. I was literally thinking, “We have all at home.”
thank god the threadiverse exists
Shame for the funky and weird subreddits that utilized /all to collect data and make interesting projects.
I’m 12 years old, what is this?
Reddit CEO x reddit CEO
Ah ok, so are we using homosexuality to reduce their stature as men? Make them other? Not sure what the intent of this photo is, feels icky and wrong.
Well Spez is a conservative piece of shit, so he’d probably get pretty offended by this pic, which is most likely the intention. Not that he’d see it. Just that it’s funny to think about him seeing it and getting offended.
Their? It’s one guy.
Go be pretend offended somewhere else, I’m not entertaining your shit.
ahhhh so he is kissing himself, that makes more sense now, I’m onboard, thats actually pretty hilarious.
I think every question I raised was valid based on the explanation provided, sorry you feel like it was shit.
It looked like you were headed a different direction, I’m happy to be wrong. 😁
