Reddit removed r/all "Entry points and links to r/all being removed starting today" (support.reddithelp.com)

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Because Lemmy is slower!

    same here, somehow they attribute your current bans that expired and they lifted as ban evasion, and then banned all counts that participated in a sub, they think you were banned it.

    ALso its been reported they ban newly created accounts too, and old inactive accounts. i was on another forum how you need to go through a"ridiculous" process of warming up the account."

    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.

    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.

    you know when they give you that message, its thier AI just autobanning and just send an automatic message to your qaccount.

    Also what likely happen as well, i found out in another forum, is they lump accounts together in a sub and banned them in bulk(and attribute all these account as similar, same users)

    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.

    well, it's a private platform; their sandbox, their rules. It would be nice if they could enforce them equitably, though.

    Well, sure, but reddit (and FB, and Insta, and discord, and bluesky and mastadon and twitter and just about everything else out there, probably including Lemmy) are privately owned. Their sandboxes. Now, something like IRC or Usenet (which I still miss) is another matter.

    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 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).

    "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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
