>/r/all

I have no reason to look at /r/all and neither do you if you don't like it. Just subscribe to subreddits you want to see.

The default Reddit experience isn't my cup of tea, either. But if you spend some time looking for communities that you're interested in, you end up with a pretty good thing.

Indeed, Reddit is great for niche/specific interests.

But it's also true that some subreddits are susceptible to deterioration by inflation. Take r/MurderedByWords for example - I used to like to browse this one in the past, but when posts being tender tantrum (like [1]) can gain 46k upvotes, it sign something has gone wrong. Same with r/technicallythetruth and several others.

Oh, do you perhaps know about the schism of r/animemes? It was a delightful spectacle of miscommunication, overreaction, misunderstandings, positive discrimination and mutual false accusations. That was when I moved playlist History of memes from fun to education directory in my RSS reader.
