But they direct users to /r/popular instead… what’s the difference there anyway? It doesn’t seem to have any special inclusion rules, as I can still get all the zero upvote zero comment posts if I sort by new. So I don’t see what the point of /r/popular was/is before /r/all’s removal.
r/popular can be set to a country. For the US, it’s pretty similar to r/all for any other country, it’s distinct and boosts local subreddits and language.
Maybe the reason I don’t see much of a difference is because I’m using old reddit?
What country did you select?
I’m not sure I follow, I didn’t select anything. Can’t find a setting about it in preferences. Well, except for the general location setting which seems to be a shreddit-only feature, as I need to go to shreddit to set it.
