    This would be so much easier if Reddit had a proper search with date ranges instead of "Last week/month/year/ever" categories but from bookmarked or screencapped threads I have, the big internet memes and news...

    Jan: Bean dad, Jan 6 Bumble matchmaking trolling, Navalny returns to Russia and arrested immediately

    Feb: Myanmar coup aerobics dance, Tiger Woods car crash, Texas blizzard blackouts

    March: Ever Given running aground in Suez, Malcom In The Middle opening video clip, Oprah interviews Harry and Meghan

    April: NASA helicopter flight on Mars, DMX dies and his music gets reposted a lot, Chauvin guilty of murder

    May: Israel-Palestine conflict, part 2021 (West Bank Palestinian protests in Old City, Hamas launches rockets from Gaza, Israel airstrikes Gaza in retaliation, AP offices destroyed), Kentaro Miura passes away, gamers in FFXIV hold tribute with big sword chars.

    Those are what I have saved for Jan-May. Someone else want to take up big news and memes from the year?

    Update December 16th 2021: Reddit files to go public.

    • https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/reddit-files-us-ipo-2021-12-16/
    • https://news.yahoo.com/reddit-files-public-141127163.html
    • https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59678451

    Reddit removed all NSFW content from showing up in r/all on February 11th 2021, and from what I've read over in /r/modnews and /r/ModSupport you're forced to use the official app (you can't use 3rd party mobile apps) if you want to submit content in NSFW subreddits too.

    They changed it because Reddit is likely going public on the stock market in 2022.

    Quote from March 5, 2021:

    “Is Reddit going public?” Steve Huffman, Reddit’s chief executive, said in an interview. “We’re thinking about it. We’re working toward that moment.”

    Mr. Huffman said Reddit did not have a timeline, but Mr. Vollero’s appointment indicated that the 15-year-old company was developing its financial operations to be more similar to those of publicly traded peers like Twitter and Facebook.

    Quote from August 12, 2021:

    The latest funding wasn’t planned, but “Fidelity made us an offer that we couldn’t refuse,” Steve Huffman, Reddit’s co-founder and chief executive, said in an interview.

    The company then decided the capital would give it more time to decide on when — and how — to go public. “We are still planning on going public, but we don’t have a firm timeline there yet,” Mr. Huffman said. “All good companies should go public when they can.”

    Just practical FYI, you can still view the old /r/all (including NSFW subreddits) this way:

    • open private/incognito/inprivate window (to make sure you're logged out)
    • go to https://old.reddit.com (because the new layout is crap)
    • deny ad targeting cookies
    • go to any NSFW subreddit directly, get the "Are you sure? 18+" warning, and click Yes.
    • go back to https://old.reddit.com/r/all

    tl;dr go to /r/all when you're 1) not logged in, and 2) have accepted the NSFW 18+ warning, and it's working like normal.

    I replied to the other user who asked why old.reddit is better - this was my response:

    Why YSK:

    =-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-

    Here is what a fucking lame looking site "reddit.com" looks like under private view without logging in...

    https://i.imgur.com/pYZWH9F.png

    THIS is what old.reddit.com SHOULD look like to optimal browsing:

    https://i.imgur.com/TxBtvik.png

    The information density in old.reddit is super high ...

    Use reddit enhancement suite, block origin, hover zoom, and dark mode.... use greenshot to automatically upload screenshots to imgur, which auto-copies the imgur url to clipboard, etc...

    its a much better experience...

    here is why hover zoom is great -- you dont click on a link, you hover on it and the image, or vid or gif will show/play

    https://i.imgur.com/kIrXgcN.jpg

    I almost never "click on links" -- if its img or vid or gif, I only have to hover and never leave the screen...

    I also like to watch vids with PIP and reddit in the background, like this: https://i.imgur.com/XTjFA1K.png

    oh - and you can hover over a sub or a user to subscribe, ignore, block or filter: https://i.imgur.com/BtWDpMo.png

    (If you add your own userID to your "Friends" list - your own username will ALWAYS show up as ORANGERED (unless you are the Submitter, then its still blue) -- this allows you to spot your own commetns really fast when scrolling - as your own name shows up orangred...)

    and to filter (meaning block/ignore a full subreddit from ever showing up in your feed:

    https://i.imgur.com/drrqwdR.png

    So if you click that filter button, it will never show you posts from that sub... So I go to r/all and I filter out all the bad shit I never want to see in /r/all...

    Also you can enable comment-highlight-border which shows you how deeply the comment you are hovering over is nested - notice the borders on the comments above my cursor and the child comments beneath it are still grey:

    https://i.imgur.com/ajjiLaW.png

    EDIT:: Also -- remember to enable keyboard controls in your prefs... and use CTRL+ENTER to submit your comment

    I feel like this isn't true because I ONLY use old, and have 18+ allowed, and I still don't see porn subs on /r/all any longer.

    Where-as, my mod account from before the /r/all block has over 300 porn subs on the filter. I don't see any of those blocked subs on /r/all on any account.

    parent root
    31 points TheRufmeisterGeneral

    You have to be explicitly logged out.

    I know, it's weird. But being logged in with an account that has 18+ allowed is not the same.

    You have to have a browser window where you're not logged in to Reddit, and then allow 18+ by clicking past one of the warnings when entering an NSFW sub.

    r/all has never really been all of the subreddits. Well for ~6 years at least. The subreddit owners can control if the sub shows up in r/all and r/popular. I’m not sure if that feature has always been there but there was an r/outoftheloop post from 6 years ago asking why all the subs don’t show up.

    Browsing r/all has always been my favorite thing to do because you learn about so many different subreddits and find things you’re interested in but didn’t realize that there was an online community for. I would love a way to actually browse all the subreddits.

    They will never have anything that will replace how perfect the original r/Reddit.com was.

    parent root
    18 points honkballs

    This is a little different though, if the people running a sub don't want to show on r/all, that's fine, normally they have a reason for that and it's their choice, if people don't like that, they could always create a similar sub with different mods that does show in r/all.

    Whereas this was reddit forcing a decision on everyone else (against the majority reaction to the announcement). They could have easily had a "show NSFW on r/all" as a setting with it off by default (in fact I think it was), and let users pick if they want it or not, why not give us the choice? Adding an "only NSFW" option like a lot of people have asked for would be a fantastic filter IMO!

    I think r/all should be all! If a post is high up on all, then that's obviously what the users on the platform like! Then give people an option to filter if they choose to.

    But now as it stands NSFW subs aren't show on r/all, and a lot of once popular big subs are slowly dying and falling in visitors as less people are finding them now, is really sad these communities are being silenced and marginalized like that.

    The BEST way to reddit is by engaging in communities you love and have interest in. You find you get to know individual users, have funner or even deeper conversations, and engage (usually) in a more civil manner. The bigger subs are fun to check in once in a while and easily ignored when they're going off the rails which is usually once or twice a month. The biggest subs however are repost and crosspost city made only to draw in attention of the outsider, the potential user. /r/all is all about being a Twitter/Facebook hybrid for new users.

    parent root
    28 points MirandaS2

    This is mostly what I do! I used to only ever peruse r/all a few years ago and then I discovered the Home button where every sub I follow is on and I haven't looked back since - probably why I don't recognize most of these! Really nice and to see r/dramatichouseplants and r/artefactporn over all that other stuff that doesn't quite pique my interest.

    Edit: "artefect" to "artifact" to "artefact"

    Damn where did the time go this year

    I feel this is tempting fate, by dropping the video now you've given the year the next 23 days to outdo itself.

    You forgot to mention that you killed Reddit Secret Santa for no reason and gave an extremely poor excuse that didn't explain anything.

    Edit: seriously, no mention at all in the report when for years it was one of Reddit's biggest events, even earning Guinness World Record status for the 2013 edition.
