I’ve been using the official app a couple times lately (out if curiousity). It’s ridiculous how little is left. Almost the enire feed is either advertisements, or algorithm. The plus side is that it is pretty obvious to distinguish them, but that makes that you can just scroll past 20+ posts without stopping. The feeling that gives me, almost always makes me close the app. Hilariously, I think this is exactly the opposite effect of what reddit engineers wanted to achieve with their enshitification.
I left reddit about the time they introduced /r/popular and I recall the announcement mentioning that they would remove /r/all eventually. It’s been a long time, but this was coming.
This is something that would really frustrate me if I was still on reddit. It feels nice to not care at all.

I sincerely hope it is not their engineers that wanted this.
Somehow I doubt that they listen to their engineers at all regarding policy decisions.

It does kind of frustrate me that they’re messing with people’s dopamine receptors, trapping them in reddit for a bit longer
If lemmy wants to succeed, we need to follow suit and remove sorting by all! It’s the only way! /s
