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.

/r/all still works for me.
But they direct users to /r/popular instead... what's the difference there anyway? It doesn't seem to have any special inclusion rules, as I can still get all the zero upvote zero comment posts if I sort by new. So I don't see what the point of /r/popular was/is before /r/all's removal.
They curate the subs that appear.
All is everything minus a deny list (nsfw).
Popular is a list of what they approve, or more recently it's the algorithmic feed.
I only used my own subs for my personal interests or All to discover something new. It was, at least at one time, good for surfacing things I never would have looked for. More often things that didn't interest me, but that was valuable in itself.
Huh interesting, thanks for explaining! Sorting by new includes all kinds of random subs, so it doesn't look much more curated to me than /r/all, though.
Per the thread, it is on its deathbed.
r/popular can be set to a country. For the US, it’s pretty similar to r/all for any other country, it’s distinct and boosts local subreddits and language.
Maybe the reason I don't see much of a difference is because I'm using old reddit?
What country did you select?
I'm not sure I follow, I didn't select anything. Can't find a setting about it in preferences. Well, except for the general location setting which seems to be a shreddit-only feature, as I need to go to shreddit to set it.
