Reddit moves from r/all

Reddit is retiring the use of r/all, one of its feeds that displays popular posts on the platform, as part of “ongoing efforts to simplify Reddit and improve home feed customization.”

Reddit has offered Both r/popular and r/all as ways to see popular posts, with r/all being a “less filtered feed” where “sexually explicit posts are filtered but other popular not-safe-for-work (NSFW) posts are included.” But in January, Reddit said It has removed r/all from its apps as part of an “experiment,” and as part of a separate experiment, some desktop users will no longer be able to see r/all in their sidebar. (The company previously announced the removal of r/all from its apps In Decemberbut the change did not qualify as an experiment at the time.) In February, Reddit said the experiment was over and “The decision has been made to remove r/all.”

Although Reddit CEO Steve Huffman He said last year That the company is “moving away from” r/popular in favor of more personalized feeds, Reddit said Thursday that “popular content remains available via r/popular.” r/popular may continue to change, though: “As we shared previously, we are rethinking parts of the global feed experience, especially for new users, and this may include changes to r/popular over time,” says spokesperson Clarissa Colmenero.

Reddit also announced Thursday that it will launch new default privacy settings for teens. With the changes, which will be rolled out in “early April”, users under the age of 18 will no longer be able to gain followers and will have hidden profiles.
