Reddit removed r/random and r/randnsfw citing them as low usage features - eviltoast

This has broken the random functionality on my rdx for Reddit app and possibly other apps. They keep breaking one feature or another and it’s getting hard to maintain the app now.

They also removed these other features:

1/ Subdomain subreddit redirect: This is where “<anything>.reddit.com” is currently redirected to “reddit.com/r/<anything>”, 2. r/random, r/randnsfw, r/myrandom, and reddit.com/random 3. old.reddit.com Snoovatars 4. Saving posts and comments with category or by subreddit.

The don’t even announce it on announcements. This is the post https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/1fojw02/cleaning_up_some_lowusage_features/

    Back when I still enjoyed reddit, I loved /random. How very reddit of them to continue down the road of making it a worse user experience. Because it hasn’t been about the users for a long, long time. They do it gradually enough that the average reddit schmuck barely even notices.
