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.

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.
