The Reddit blackout was pretty underwhelming (self.chat)

In the last 3 days I've been paying attention to r/all, expecting several posts about it and...

Yeah

Wasn't expecting the website to literally shut down nor to monopolize r/all, because 3rd party users are the minority, but I hoped for more than whatever this was.

At least there's a silver lining, I discovered new alternatives that have healthier communities

I see your point but I think you misunderstand me a bit.

r/all is somewhat of a "front", it can show that the place is vibrant and that there is something to do and something to scroll through.

But for example I never saw anything from r/mealprepsunday on my r/all and when I had reddit it actually was an subreddit that I was subscribed to and used frequently.

If the subreddit above gives me a reason to stay on reddit and it would dissapear then an vibrant r/all isn't an incentive for me to stay.

Can you see where I am coming from?

a page like r/all has it's use. It can reel people in and give direction but it will not be the reason people will stay.

I get it. The reason will be community and common bonds, it's just finding each other that is the struggle right now, and how to bets build things anew and to last. Lots of development and growing pains to come, but it's a nice change I think, even if it takes a bit to get mature and pull more people.
