News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I'm in this thread because of lemmys "all" view
Welcome to Lemmy, the frontpage of the internet.
Please, do help with creating content. Be the change you want to see. Lemmy is for the community, by the community. Welcome!
Welcome! Strap in. It's an opinionated bunch here, to be sure, but also the #1 place I've ever seen on the Internet where people will sometimes go -
"oh, ya know, you were right, my bad". Or similar.
But don't get the wrong idea, still the Internet lol.
Seems like a cool community so far
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
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 believe Lemmy is pretty lively at the moment.
It is in some communities. But there are certain places I used to see pretty regular updates and engagement on Reddit that either don’t exist here or are absolute ghost towns. You can say that’s because of a different user base and different priorities and that’s fair — but then you can’t complain about low involvement/engagement by people who want to participate in those communities.
I miss the thriving, active subreddits for fountain pens, watches, and calculators. I tried being the change I wanted to see in a watch community, but after about a week of being the only poster, It just kinda felt like I was just showing off my watch collection. Fountain pens is a bit more active, at a few posts per month. Forget about calculators.

Welcome and thanks for joining. I hope you can realize the irony of not joining because not enough other people joined.
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!

I don't even care anymore to be honest. Most of the legacy social media platforms have become absolute garbage. Reddit was the introduction to the wild west of internet commentary for me. Compared to 15 years ago versus today it's unrecognizable.

it's a weird feeling when a feature to see the same stuff that everyone else sees gets removed in favor of personalized feeds. it's like my connection with the outside world was severed. this sucks.
Exactly like FB changing their algorithm so you no longer see friends life updates at all and now see spam, ai slop, and ads.

The removal of all finally made me feel shitty enough on reddit that I've come back to give Lemmy another shot
They're all basically converging on the same shitty business model, these aren't intended as products for you to use they intend you to serve them

Am I the only one who doesn't use Reddit? That platform has been getting enshittified for years. Plus, Lemmy encourages actual discussions and isn't filled with AI bots.

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

Lmfao so glad I left that dumpster fire. r/all was he only way I ever browsed.
I mean it's been heavily filtered for the better part of a decade. I never really minded some of the filtering, which at first was just quarantining the far right, but then nsfw subs got hidden, etc. Pretty quickly it was the old standard front page with a bit of chaos.
Also strangely enough, when I first started using Reddit around 2011, everyone just went straight to the frontage for everything, and the defaults in the front page dominated the app, it was probably around 2015-2016 that people actually pivoted to /r/all after the defaults of the front page were bland and stagnant, and from then on, the admins have taken steps to make /r/ all bland and stagnant too.

What's Reddit?
It's like Digg
And nothing of value was lost
EDIT: After reading the comments in this thread I think I should elaborate...
The only thing that makes Reddit not X or Facebook are their niche communities. For years, Reddit corporate has been moving to homogenize them and shove them all into a single algorithmic slop feed that auto-adjusts to what you linger on like Tiktok. /r/all and /r/popular are basically just endless slop feeds of bots reposing engagement bait for people with brain rot to look at while they poop. But having slop and topic-based communities in a single feed invites those brainrotted people to jump into any community they are not a member of and vomit all over it without learning the rules/culture/etc.
Honestly I think focusing on and prioritizing their myriad small communities and not the people who want slop feed is a smart move for user retention. I still won't go back there, but I think it's a smart move.
Everyone was the "same" r/all before. They're talking about "personal interests".
They're about to go full Tik Tok and show content as a function of your prior engagement.

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

Clowns
Still works perfectly fine under Old Reddit. Was refreshing the page and browsing it just this morning.
They're saying it will be phased out entirely...
It works, for now
