Over 6 years ago, when reddit was the equivalent of a toddler we launched trending subreddits on the front page. This was truly one of the very few ways to discover new communities. Now we have many ways for you to find the spaces you love - including a leader board, personalized recommendations, improved onboarding for new users and others on the way.
With all of that, and with the site continuing to grow, we’ve decided it’s now time to retire this community and the daily parade of trending communities. For the laast week, ending Today, we hand selected communities to feature based mainly on our whims in part to celebrate this little community and all the other communities it helped put on your radar.
We hope you enjoyed the last week as much as we did. Thanks to all of you, users and mods, for making this and reddit a very special place.
We’ll see you on the flip side! <3

Please dont kill old.reddit next

Haha, I'm pretty sure they do - if I know anything about development (and I do) it's probably actually a massive maintenance headache for them.
But I think they do legit realise they might lose a huge chunk of users when it goes.
They are probably watching a graph of the % of people using old.reddit dropping over time, though. There is a point where it will drop below a certain figure and they will kill it.
Reddit is unusable without old.
I hate that every website wants to look just like Twitter. It's a major reason why I don't use Facebook anymore. I come from the internet of the 2000s, when everything was boxy and clean and simple. I hate these bubble-shaped things all over the place.
I seriously think it's just that having less actual content and more space taken up by useless visual elements makes it so you have to scroll more and (if you're not using an ad blocker) see more ads.
I don't even mind the design of new reddit, I think it looks fine personally. But it's still buggy and it's an absolutely janky UI. I don't see why they still can't make it work smoothly and efficiently after all this time.
Ads. Ads are everywhere now. Even with ad blockers and crap I still get them.
Sadly Last.fm did the same thing 5 years ago, and ended up removing the ability to view the old layout. More ads and less room for actual stats.

I have faith, because https://i.reddit.com/ still exists...
They won't. Even legacy reddit options like https://i.reddit.com are still around. They would need a super good reason to go out of their way to kill off old reddit.
Id love it if they kill it. It will massively lower my usage of this god damned site

These all suck. Just leave what isn't fucking broken
Welcome to Twitter 2.0.
FLEETS THO!
/s
It would have literally taken MAYBE five minutes each week to look through the list of fast growing subs and pick the five most least offensive ones? smh. i dont get it
I don’t use any of those.
What is a leader board? I hate my recommendations I never click them. Actually I’m on Apollo for a reason I didn’t like the old app and stuff like recommendations.
Aw I loved learning about random subs trough this
Yeah, I’ve found a good number of interesting subbreddits via this feature.
Yea but I bet almost nobody else cared. Like this comment section has two dozen comments and it's linked to the top of every old Reddit user's home page. It's clear it's just not worth the time anymore. It's sad to see it go but oh well.
Does new Reddit not see trending subreddits? Well then they basically engineered its death.
Even before then I don't recall people really caring about it all that much.
It was really good for growing smaller-/medium-sized subreddits.
In 2015 I had already been on reddit for 5 years
Fuck the old guard I guess
Reddit's going to collapse once they remove old.reddit and their GenX/Older Millenial users abandon the site en masse.
Very few people actually use old.reddit, apparently.
According to the people who built New Reddit.
According to mods who track this info for themselves.
Mine shows up just as www.reddit but I'm still using the old layout. I wonder if the stats include people like me
I'm one of them at least.
If they forced the desktop version to the new reddit style, I'm going to be exclusively using a mobile app from then on.
I don't, but only because I've disabled the redesign in my site preferences.
I'm a Zennial that uses old.reddit on the rare occasion that I use reddit on desktop instead of on my phone. Fuck the new UI.
To be honest I really hope they do, maybe it'll finally get me off this hellsite.
No it isn't, It'll make more money than ever.
Thanks, week-old account.
Yeah, because I change accounts every few years. Don't know why you would even check my account age lol.
Recency bias?
My account is just over a week from 14 years, and I lurked for quite a while before creating it. 6 years ago isn’t even half of my time on this site.
For a few years now I’ve been actively looking for a new site to spend my time on, I hate almost every chance that they make these days.
I have a tildes.net invite if you're interested. I don't use that site as much because it's more news- and current events-oriented and I use reddit for some niche interests that wouldn't gain any traction over there, but it's set up much the same way as reddit, with a reddit admin as its founder (/u/deimorz).
Thanks.
I’ve never heard of it. Tried to find the site, but that seems to go to a site about ocean tides. Am I missing something?
Edit: I’m dumb. Small phone screen scatterbrained, missed the l. !!!
Edit 2: no idea how the word scatterbrained got in there, though I had wet fingers and was struggling to type, but it works, so it stays. :)
After a bit of reading, the site looks good and I would appreciate that invite. How are they sent? Can you PM it to me? Thanks!
EDIT: After more reading, I'm really liking the discussions over there.
Reddit has been around for more then 15 years... so not really no. r/funny back then had 8 million subs, which compared to its current 36 million is certainly much smaller, but definitely not a toddler.
right? 6 years ago, was after the r/fappening
/r/fatpeoplehate was peak Reddit.
Probably the first live away from Reddit’s as long as it’s not illegal you do you, to the same social media as everything else. Am just waiting for the day for them to get rid of downvotes.
Just proof admins are dumb
Bring back r/Reddit.com. You can only leave one subreddit dead at a time.

Honestly Place was the coolest thing reddit ever did. I loved that.
I loved how much everything changed every time I checked in on it.
I also loved the button for how long it would go, I wish they'd bring that back.
As much as i loved the button, it wouldn't be the same if they brought it back
Lots of people ask for things like the button and place to come back but the reason why those events feel so special to us is because they only were around for a brief moment. I’m glad the admins realise this and don’t listen to the community instead of rehashing the same things every year until any distinction they had is completely diluted.
I loved Robin even more. The feeling of suddenly joining this spontaneous community, chatting with random strangers, all working toward the goal of becoming ever-larger...
Damn, Place brings me back
RIP. I always liked the trending subreddits.

My clue was that 3 old April Fools subs were suddenly trending after years of being archived
Gonna miss everyone asking which askreddit thread caused the trending subreddits for that day. (This also looks to be the only ever editted trending post?)
Now announcing Reddit Concierge: for only $0.99 a week we will hand curate a weekly list of new subreddits you might be interested in, based on your viewing and comment history, geolocation, cookies, perceived socieconomic status and social security number.
Reddit sure does love killing good things to make room for bad things
why aren't we getting new trendings anymore
What a stupid decision.
Why though :(
It’s June 😭
Aww, really? I remember this being a really cool concept when it was introduced. I'll miss this.
Fuck you, new reddit sucks.
I love how the /r/reddit is banned and I can't even see it. Then 2 others have been closed for years and don't allow new posts.
Oh my gosh /r/reddit.com I miss having a general/miscellaneous subreddit. I'm still bummed that got shut down :(
/r/all is cancer. I filter many subreddits to make it less crap
r/all is cespool of unfiltered and untagged porn. Honestly r/popular is full of whores flashing their tits and horny morons ripping onlyfans who don't know NSFW tag exists too and it makes really hard to browse Reddit at all
RIP
Boo
Really going to miss this sub, thank you mods.
F.
What's the sub where people announce they leave a sub again?

Why is everyone always so upset in the comments of these posts lol
Because the changes suck.
Way?
Trending subreddits was nice, RIP
I'm gonna miss this. It was a great place to find subreddits that were popular enough to be active but never reach /r/all. I found so many great niche communities from here. Now I worry that its going to be harder for smaller communities to ever get noticed.
RIP
Doesnt feel that long ago it was introduced, along with the wave of other value-diminishing “features” that have come since.
RIP
To quote the top comment of the redditgifts thread, "go fuck yourselves"
[deleted]
/r/theplace was the best around. RuneScape owned two big spots somehow.
i will remember youuuu 🎶
I liked trending subreddits though.
Those cherry-picked subreddits are a cancer. Why would you get rid of an actual useful feature and replace it with that garbage? What a horrible website.
Bruh momento
RIP
go fuck yourself but first put this back
This is remarkably poor decision making.
Remarkably stupid decision.
What a dumb fucking idea
u wot m8
aww they really had to cancel this?

Powerful central banks and governments are stepping up their war on cash. The political class (Rulers) plan to launch a Central Bank Digital Currency. This Digital Currency is programmable with disturbing features.
-GPS means your movements are tracked.
-Programmable means your money can be turned off
.-QR codes can turn red so you are locked down if you don't comply with health or climate mandates.
We are starting a resistance to this evil Central Bank Digital Currency.
Currently people are fighting over gun control, abortion, immigration, race, textbooks, environment, etc...Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, We get it, BUT THIS IS A CALL FOR UNITY...TO STICK TOGETHER TO FIGHT A GREATER ENEMY THAN EACH OTHER.
NOW IS THE TIME TO SET OUR DISPUTES ASIDE AND JOIN FORCES TO FIGHT THE CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY
