I browse /r/all occasionally to get out of the bubble of the subs I'm subscribed to. And sometimes there is a popular post in an obscure subreddit that I've never heard of before and get that gets me to subscribe.


They could add something like sub-reddit tags: NSFW, offensive, video games, sports, technical etc.

Then on r/all NSW/offensive are disabled by default (the same way NSFW is rigth now - you need to change your account settings).

Problem solved, FPH will never make it to people who don't want to see offensive staff.


I think you're misunderstanding what the commenters in this subthread are saying. It's not simply that I don't want to see FPH. I also don't want to see advice animals, documentaries, creepypasta, or jokes. I have nothing against these as forms of content, it's just not what I visit Reddit for.

And even among technology, I have no interest in seeing things about Ruby or Go. Again, it's not that I dislike the languages, it's that they're not professionally relevant to me at the moment so it's not what I visit Reddit for.

So what we need is some way for subreddits to be tagged with their own content: /r/rust about Rust, /r/python about Python, /r/sandersforpresident about Bernie, etc., and some /r/all equivalent that just matches what I'm interested in -- which is exactly what https://reddit.com is for me, right now. I don't need /r/all to be fixed; I have no interest in even seeing "all technology" or "all religion" or "all presidential candidates".

FPH being or not being on /r/all is irrelevant.
