I feel like your comment would be more accurate a few years back. Browsing /r/all is a lot more tolerable since it's gotten a lot less Gamergate-y. Mocking Gamergate is a lot more common nowadays. I really don't know what you mean by "the dedicated meme parts of the site are gone", because goofy meme subreddits are very popular right now. One of the most popular ones mocks Gamergate and related views: /r/gamesriseup.

Anyway, the userbase is so huge that even "smaller" subreddits has a decent amount of activity. Sure, video games and SF movies/TV is all you'll get browsing /r/all, but there's, e.g., /r/truefilm, /r/flicks, lots of music subreddits.
