This has broken the random functionality on my rdx for Reddit app and possibly other apps. They keep breaking one feature or another and it’s getting hard to maintain the app now.
They also removed these other features:
1/ Subdomain subreddit redirect: This is where “<anything>.reddit.com” is currently redirected to “reddit.com/r/<anything>”, 2. r/random, r/randnsfw, r/myrandom, and reddit.com/random 3. old.reddit.com Snoovatars 4. Saving posts and comments with category or by subreddit.
The don’t even announce it on announcements. This is the post https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/1fojw02/cleaning_up_some_lowusage_features/
Does this functionality exist on lemmy yet? I would like a random and a random-nsfw feed that samples the entire fediverse.
Not sure if it’s just per client but Voyager has a “random community” button on the search tab.
It does with Sync for a Lemmy, sadly the app is busted with most instances I guess.
Starter idea: it could conceivably fit in the Sort Type dropdown - respects the other settings (Subscribed/Local/All, Posts/Comments) and just throw results through a
RAND()(sic) function.
