Please also avoid duplicates.

I wish any of the top comments had suggestions to join Lemmy.
Those who post links to Lemmy instances are quickly banned.
And how was /r/all an experiment? I thought it was there from the beginning. Or am I hallucinating?
Ahh yes, the 20-year experiment that the entire platform was built off of 😄
Lol could you imagine if Netflix was just like "Welp, the experiment of streaming content has ended."
TBF, Netflix did stop sending movies by mail.
Was under the same assumption, and it was the only place I looked at except individual subs. Feels good not to hangout in that shithole anymore.
One could reasonably argue r/all pre-dated the concept of subreddits as originally reddit didn't have them at all (which would mean the front page of reddit was functionally r/all.), then had a few admin created ones (iirc r/nsfw came in this batch), then allowed for user-created ones.
Yeah, it's obvious they want to replace the front page (of the front page of the internet?) with the same personalized algorithmic doom scrolling generated crap that every other social media pushes on you.
So glad I killed off my content and don't use it any more.
there was no r/all at the beginning, but at the same time it was, because there where no sud-reddits neither, or comment section for that matter, it was just one page, submissions and the upvote/downvote and time-weight system.
I learned about lemmy from reddit, not a link though I was saying how we need an alt and it already exists here, not on all though idk that sub.
