If you're a Reddit user, you may have frequently loaded up the r/all page, a feed showing posts that are trending across the platform with fewer filters than the similar r/popular. Now the page is going away, though at the time of writing there is still one way to get to it.
Reddit published a changelog (via The Verge) explaining that "entry points and links to r/all" are being taken down starting from April 2. This affects both the desktop interface and the mobile apps for Android and iOS.
"As part of ongoing efforts to simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization, the final steps to deprecate r/all are being implemented," Reddit says. "Trending content remains available via r/popular."
The r/popular feed is similar to r/all, but blocks out adult content labeled NSFW (Not Suitable For Work). Before it got deprecated, r/all didn't filter anything out, apart from sexually explicit content.
You can still find r/all
If you try and access r/all through the standard methods — by following this link, for example — you'll simply be directed to the front page of Reddit. This also presents a selection of popular content taken from across the Reddit boards.
There is still a way of finding r/all though: If you visit the old Reddit interface, which remains online, there's still a link to the r/all page at the top. Reddit has itself said that this option is going to remain available for those who want it.
This hasn't come completely out of nowhere: Reddit has previously been testing redirects away from r/all, though up until now it's been labeled as an experiment. Now the move is permanent, at least as far as the default interface goes.
The r/popular feed might not last much longer either. A spokesperson told The Verge that Reddit was "rethinking parts of the global feed experience, especially for new users" and that future changes may indeed involve r/popular.
