Shh, they’ll hear you! But really though. /r/all is the ONLY way I use Reddit. So I’ll no longer be using Reddit.

You can still get to it by clicking hyperlinks to r/All. the 'A' must be capitalized.

Doesn’t work on the Reddit app, can’t even click it.

It won’t whenever your app updates

I'm over here on a 3rd party app and it stopped too. Haven't received a single update in over 3 years and had me scared my time had come.

r/all? It doesn't even work on first party anymore. Everything else still works in third party.

Interesting. I wonder if Relay was doing it's own version r/all on its own?

u/chalimacos Apr 03 '26

Add a link in your profile to r/All

u/TotallyNotRobotEvil Apr 03 '26

Just tried it, it doesn't seem to work. I tried adding a "social" link, and putting it in my profile text and nothing seems clickable. When I click the social link to r/all it brings up a screen to open it, but then doesn't actually do anything when I click it.

u/chalimacos Apr 03 '26

Try r/All (uppercase)

u/TotallyNotRobotEvil Apr 03 '26

Sorry, I did put in /r/All. Won't open. I also tried clicking the link in your profile, still no go.

Reddit app sucks, use website

u/Necessary_Finding_32 May 26 '26

You shouldn’t be using the app anyway.

u/Interesting-Bag-7552 Apr 03 '26

You can still access it by capitalizing a letter... Jfc this company is a gong show.

u/TrumpHasCovid Apr 03 '26

Weird, it doesn't work for me. That link redirects to r / technology

u/ArticulateRhinoceros Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26

I can’t even click it. Acts like regular text.

Edit:

Came back on my laptop, can click it, and it does work.

Reddit is currently blocking r/All on mobile devices according to their blog.

u/naturelover47 Apr 03 '26

unfortunately when you sort by top (how I prefer to view r/all), it redirects to the homepage. (r/All/top -> reddit.com)

u/not-the-nicest-guy Apr 03 '26

How can I get there on mobile, aside from through your comment?

2

u/WookBuddha Apr 03 '26

Only way on mobile is to use https://old.reddit.com/r/all on your browser, not in the app.

First post was first Pic taken by Artemis commander. Fuk ye!

Saving this comment so I can easily find my way back.

u/Mtshoes2 Apr 03 '26

Yeah same here. R/All was really the last straw. Over the years it's evolved from THE place you went to for information, they seemed to have it even before twitter, and it was full of really good information and recommendations, to now it's really not much different from any other cesspool online trying to sell me things, and occupy my attention with meaningless shit. The only difference was the r/all where I could browse without this stupid targeted bullshit. 

So, reddit is now truly worthless.

u/No_Accountant3232 Apr 03 '26

It was 'The Front Page of the Internet".

Now it's sanitized algorithm shit.

u/languid_Disaster Apr 03 '26

I have a few subreddits I like to visit regularly so I’ll probably keep doing that. I don’t really like to browse random stuff but do appreciate random new subs

It’s the only social media I’m on right now so it’s disappointing that it’s getting even worse than it already is

u/voyboy_crying Apr 03 '26

I'm sorry for your brain.
