You'll get taken to a random community. Once you arrive there's a link at the top of the page to /r/random so you can just hammer away at that until you get somewhere that's the right combo of random and interesting.

There is also /r/randnsfw that takes you to a random nsfw communty if your instance has them.

Is this only on piefed.social or on all instances? I couldn’t see it in the changelog for 1.6.15.

[-] rimu@piefed.social 13 points 1 month ago

It is not part of a formal release yet but any instance on the 1.6.x branch can git pull to get the latest code and it'll be in there.

Is there an easy way to access this via PWA?

Last item on the communities menu in the hamburger.

Very cool :3

but on mobile, for people who have subcribed to lot communities, they will have to scroll down a little. I think it can sit next to local/all community button :)

Let's wait a day or two, until the novelty wears off, then see if it still deserves a more prominent place.

Okay, and then, once settled, i will create a nice link for the weekly post on fediverse.

I dunno, but it would be great if we could turn it into an instance agnostic link. I will use threadiverse link. :)
