seriously this, it's dogshit if you only go to a few subreddits, even if they aren't favourited. I gues /r/random will have to do a lot of that heavy lifting now. It's going to be subreddit 50/50 - either you boring or great subreddits, or furry stuff.
I dont believe Random is a thing anymore. Its been a while but last I checked clicking on it said the sub had been banned.
edit: yup banned. It says it was banned 3 years ago due to being unmoderated. Whatever that means.
oh yea, reddit has a habit of "banning" a sub, if theres no moderation of it for a while, like 3 months? like if the mods disappear, it does happen.
dafuq? r/random used to just be a vanity link that redirected you to a random sub. how you gonna ban that… unless you know you've chased off all the people who do the work of making the site you run worth while and showing random subs will just put that on disply
