The Front Page / r/all

"The front page" is Reddit's main landing view of top posts, and the phrase "the front page of the internet" became the company's longtime tagline, capturing its role as a place where the day's most-voted content surfaces. Historically, r/all was the unfiltered, sitewide feed aggregating the highest-ranking posts from across nearly all public communities, regardless of which subreddits a user subscribed to. It functioned as a real-time pulse of the platform: making it to r/all meant a post had broken out of its home community and reached mass visibility, and r/popular offered a similar but more curated, advertiser-friendly version that excluded certain NSFW and niche content.

On Reddit, reaching the front page or r/all was a major driver of virality, traffic, and the spread—sometimes the amplification—of controversies, hoaxes, and viral moments far beyond their origin subreddits. In April 2025, Reddit deprecated r/all, redirecting visitors toward an algorithmically personalized Home feed as part of a broader shift away from chronological, vote-ranked discovery toward machine-learning curation designed to keep users engaged longer. The old r/all remained reachable through the legacy old.reddit.com interface, but its removal marked a significant change to how content goes viral on the site and reignited debate over algorithmic feeds versus community-driven ranking.
