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.

Used to? Does reddit not have it any more?

[-] rimu@piefed.social 48 points 2 months ago

Not any more - https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/1fojw02/cleaning_up_some_lowusage_features/

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago

I loved those. randnsfw was great as well, you never knew if you'd find happiness or go to be disturbed.

Taken out two years ago

[-] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 months ago

I think that’s about when most of us left. So that tracks.

Voyager has had this feature for a long time

It does? How do you use it?

[-] claimsou@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Go on Search and select „random community“

[-] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

TIL

[-] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks. It seems to land on the same few comms for me. Do you get a new comm every time?

[-] claimsou@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Well for me it does not even work today. I get no result.

[-] Qkall@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago

meanwhile reddit removes r/all - crazy timeline

[-] jwelch55@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Should these be /c instead of /r in the links?

[-] rimu@piefed.social 18 points 2 months ago

I opted for /r/ because there might be a community called 'random' one day.

The link https://piefed.social/r/random was a bit broken until just now, try again.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 months ago

Why not just /random, then?

[-] rimu@piefed.social 9 points 2 months ago

Yes might as well do that too.

[-] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 8 points 2 months ago

Thats cool as fuck! It'll be nice when my client supports it ☺️

[-] Blaze@piefed.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Looks promising indeed!

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Oh sweet. Might try it again.

I've yet to even get the lemmy frontend successfully running for development. Maybe piefed will be easier

[-] YoiksAndAway@piefed.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Cool, but how do I subscribe? Or can I?

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

It will redirect you to a random community, so it wouldn't make much sense to subscribe to it. The apps will likely add a button or menu somewhere for you to use it
