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/

    Ah that makes sense

    Just so sad isn’t it? Could have been one of the great cornerstones of the Internet, a lightweight even handed open discussion site. Instead it’s being whipped into another dopamine addled, page view grabbing ghoulish bullshit machine. Why do investors spoil everything?
