Welcome to the N E XT LEV EL

Welcome new friend
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 give old . reddit a year or two before they remove it.
It is very much unmaintained, I assume they will just let it break since only like 5 people use it still
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 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?
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"
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.

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
I truly cannot understand how anyone can use new reddit. It is worse by every metric.
People who are used to scrolling with a mobile device use it. Thats the whole point of it, make it look like an app. 99% of the users who joined after the introduction of new reddit are youngsters, if they don't use the new reddit website, they use the app, which is just the new reddit site in a app. I bet a concerning amount of them don't even know you can browse it on a computer, let alone old.reddit.
I get that but it's still weird. If that pile of shit had been my first introduction to reddit I'd have never stuck around.
Same. But its not aimed at people like us
That will be the day I finally never return.
Old reddit is a lot more tolerable if you're using it with RES.
RES is fantastic. Couldn't imagine using Reddit without now.

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.
I bet it has a far higher percentage of engaged users who actually post or comment.
i think people are unaware of the old reddit interface, they just went with the doomscrolling UI like with facebook, instagram,,,etc.
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.

And I removed all my posts from that platform and replaced them with random garbage. Fair trade
Wasn't r/all just Reddit's "Ragebait Algorithm Central Hub"?
I get that Fuck Spez and whatnot here... But this doesn't seem terrible?
Not in my experience, but then again, I left a couple years ago so maybe they changed it when I wasn't there.
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.
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.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
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'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.

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.
