    The frontpage is a list of the most popular threads at any given time from subreddits (basically like subforums here, hangout, garm, etc.) that you subscribe to.

    r/all is a list of the most popular threads at any given time from ALL available subreddits.

    r/(insert subreddit here) is a specific subforum. Like the hangout, or the garm, etc.

    I've been there 9 years, this will pass. Their team is made up of incompetent fools, no idea how they are still popular with all of the blunders over the years. They continually bite the hand that feeds them.

    I didn't think that many people were on Reddit. No one I know ever actually admits visiting it due to all the negative connotations associated with it.

    This only affected like one actual subreddit. r/iama where the famous people come to do Q&A sessions.

    A bunch of other subreddits "closed" out of protest (lol).

    Most other subreddits don't care about all the dumb reddit drama. Thankfully.

    If I owned reddit I'd shut it down for 24 hours just to let everyone know who is in charge. I'd replace all of these mods (Which would be so easy to do) and open the site again...business as usual.
